The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is set to publish the final seat allocation for Round 1 of NEET PG Counselling 2026 on October 24, after examining candidate complaints regarding the provisional list released a day earlier. Applicants are advised to wait for the confirmed allotment before visiting their assigned colleges.
MCC released the preliminary Round 1 seat allocation list on October 23, 2026. Candidates who took part in the counselling process can access the document through the committee's official website, mcc.nic.in.
Following the release, the counselling authority provided candidates with an opportunity to report errors or concerns through the grievance and query resolution facility available in their candidate login accounts. The deadline for submitting complaints was set for 11:30 AM on October 24.
The committee has emphasised that the provisional list does not constitute a confirmed seat offer. Allocations may be revised after the review process, and candidates cannot treat a preliminary allotment as a guaranteed admission. They should refrain from contacting or reporting to their allotted institutions until MCC publishes the final outcome.
The Round 1 counselling process for All India Quota (AIQ), deemed universities and central universities commenced on October 12, according to the schedule issued by MCC. The first-round process is scheduled to conclude on October 24.
The choice-filling and choice-locking deadline was extended to 12 noon on October 22 in response to requests from candidates.
Applicants who secure seats in the final allocation will need to complete the admission process within the stipulated reporting window. The key dates are outlined below:
| Counselling Activity | Scheduled Date |
|---|---|
| Round 1 counselling commencement | October 12, 2026 |
| Choice-filling and locking deadline | October 22, 2026, at 12 noon |
| Provisional allotment publication | October 23, 2026 |
| Expected final allotment announcement | October 24, 2026 |
| Reporting and joining for AIQ, deemed and central university seats | October 26 to November 2, 2026 |
| Submission and verification of joined-candidate data by MCC | November 3, 2026 |
Candidates should consult the latest official MCC notification for any subsequent changes to the schedule.
Candidates can follow these steps to access the final seat allocation list once it becomes available:
Once the final allocation is announced, candidates should verify their allotted college, course and other admission details. Those who receive a seat should download their allotment letter when it is made available and review the instructions issued by MCC.
Applicants must report to their assigned institutions during the designated period and complete the required admission formalities, including document verification. Missing the reporting deadline or failing to meet the prescribed requirements may affect the admission process.
Until the final list is officially published, candidates should rely on updates available through the MCC website rather than treating the provisional allocation as confirmation of admission.
