Complete MCC Schedule, New Rules and Documents Required
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will open the registration process for NEET UG Counselling 2026 from August 5 for admission to 15% All India Quota (AIQ) MBBS, BDS, BSc Nursing and other undergraduate medical courses. Eligible candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 can complete the registration process through the official MCC counselling portal.
The counselling process will be conducted in multiple rounds, including three regular rounds followed by a stray vacancy round. Candidates are advised to complete registration, choice filling, and fee payment within the prescribed timeline to avoid missing admission opportunities.
The online registration for the first round of MCC NEET UG Counselling 2026 will commence on August 5. Candidates seeking admission under the All India Quota must register, pay the counselling fee, fill in their preferred colleges and courses, and lock their choices before the deadline.
Seat allotment will be prepared based on several factors, including the candidate’s NEET UG 2026 rank, reservation category, seat availability, and the choices submitted during counselling.
The Medical Counselling Committee has announced the complete counselling calendar for the All India Quota seats.

Counselling process: August 24 to September 2
Round 3

After every counselling round, MCC will verify the joined candidates before processing the next round of seat allotment.
Apart from the All India Quota counselling, state counselling authorities will conduct admissions for 85% state quota seats according to the following schedule:
Round 1: August 13 to August 22
Round 2: August 31 to September 8
Round 3: September 16 to September 26
Stray Vacancy Round: October 3 to October 5
Each state counselling authority will release detailed registration dates and procedures separately.
Candidates can complete the counselling registration by following these steps:
Candidates should carefully review their choices before locking them, as seat allotment will be based on the final preferences submitted.
Candidates should keep the following documents ready during counselling and admission:
Any additional documents prescribed by MCC or the respective counselling authority
Candidates allotted a seat must report to the allotted institute within the specified deadline for document verification and completion of admission formalities.
The Medical Counselling Committee has implemented three important reforms to simplify the counselling process.
Candidates who opt for the “Willing to Upgrade” option after seat allotment are no longer required to physically report to the allotted college. Their existing seat will remain secured while they participate in subsequent counselling rounds.
Candidates who wish to surrender their allotted seat can now submit their resignation online through the MCC counselling portal within the notified timeline, eliminating the need for physical submission.
Applicants seeking admission under the NRI quota can upload all supporting documents online through the MCC portal, making the verification process more convenient.
According to the counselling schedule, the academic session for undergraduate medical courses across participating institutions will commence on September 8, 2026. Candidates are advised to complete all admission formalities within the stipulated deadlines to avoid cancellation of their allotted seats.
With NEET UG Counselling 2026 registration beginning on August 5, medical aspirants should complete their registration without delay and carefully participate in every stage of the counselling process.
Understanding the counselling schedule, keeping all required documents ready, and staying updated with the latest MCC guidelines will help candidates secure admission to their preferred medical college smoothly.
