The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts the NEET UG 2026 All India Counselling for 15% All India Quota (AIQ), AIIMS, JIPMER, Central Universities, Deemed Universities, ESIC and other participating institutions. If you are planning to participate in counselling, understanding the official guidelines can help you avoid common mistakes and complete the admission process smoothly.
Register Only on the Official MCC Website
NEET UG counselling registration can be completed only through the official MCC portal. MCC does not allot seats manually or through nominations. Students are advised to fill the registration form themselves and avoid agents or third parties. A candidate can submit the counselling registration form only once. Multiple registrations may lead to cancellation of candidature.
Fill Correct Information During Registration
All information entered during counselling is treated as self-certified. MCC will not modify details such as name, date of birth, category or contact information after registration. The data submitted during NEET registration is pre-filled for counselling, so candidates should verify all details carefully before submitting the application.
Keep Your Documents Ready
Before registration, keep all required documents ready, including your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, admit card, Class 10 and 12 certificates, identity proof, category certificate (if applicable) and other relevant documents. Candidates must produce original documents at the time of admission in the allotted institute.
Choose Colleges Carefully
Before locking your choices, check the fee structure, bond conditions, service obligations and eligibility requirements of the colleges you are interested in. MCC clearly states that it is not responsible for information related to fees, bonds or other college-specific conditions. Once choices are locked, they cannot be changed.
Follow the Counselling Schedule Strictly
NEET UG 2026 counselling consists of Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and the Stray Vacancy Round. Candidates should complete registration, choice filling, reporting and admission within the deadlines announced by MCC, as extensions are generally not granted.
Understand the Rules for Round 3
Candidates should participate in Round 3 only after making an informed decision. According to the counselling scheme, candidates who join a seat allotted in Round 3 are not permitted to resign from that seat. Candidates allotted a Round 3 seat who do not report are also not eligible for the MCC Stray Vacancy Round.
Stay Updated Through the MCC Website
MCC does not send individual notifications to candidates regarding every update. Students are advised to regularly check the official website for counselling schedules, notices, results and important announcements. The same mobile number and email ID used during NEET registration should be used for MCC counselling because OTPs will be sent to those registered details.
Final Advice
NEET UG 2026 counselling is a completely online process, but every step requires careful attention. Register only through the official MCC portal, provide accurate information, keep your documents ready, research colleges before locking your choices and follow the counselling schedule closely. A small mistake during registration or reporting can affect your admission, so always verify every detail before proceeding.
