The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), operating under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), has formally designated April 10, 2026, as the official start date for the NEET Super Speciality 2025-26 academic session. The clarification was issued as a continuation of an earlier notice, linking the session commencement directly to the schedule of SS Counselling 2025. By anchoring the academic start date to the counselling calendar, the MCC establishes a reference point that governs seat allocation timelines, institutional compliance obligations, and candidate eligibility windows. Candidates who have cleared NEET SS and are awaiting placement into super speciality programmes should align their planning with the April 10, 2026 date, as it carries formal administrative weight for admission and onboarding processes. Institutions participating in the counselling round will similarly need to calibrate their intake schedules accordingly.
