It manages centralised online seat allotment for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>15% All India Quota (AIQ)<\/strong> MBBS and BDS seats in government colleges across all states (except J&amp;K)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>100% seats<\/strong> in AIIMS (all 20 campuses), JIPMER Puducherry, Central Universities (BHU, AMU, DU, JMI), Deemed Universities, ESIC, and AFMC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 2026, NMC has approved a total of <strong>1,36,939 MBBS seats<\/strong> \u2014 63,296 in government colleges and 73,643 in private colleges. That is a jump of 9,911 seats over last year. The entire MCC counselling registration process and seat allotment for 2026 happens online at <strong>mcc.nic.in<\/strong>, and no seat is allotted manually or on a nomination basis. For a complete breakdown of how each round works \u2014 from Round 1 through Stray Vacancy \u2014 read the <a href=\"https:\/\/ksquareinstitute.in\/blog\/re-neet-2026-counselling-rounds\">complete counselling rounds guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"who-is-eligible-for-mcc-neet-2026-counselling-registration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is Eligible for MCC NEET 2026 Counselling Registration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before starting the registration, confirm you meet these eligibility criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You have a valid <strong>NEET UG 2026 rank<\/strong> and have scored at or above the qualifying cutoff<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are an <strong>Indian citizen, NRI, or OCI<\/strong> cardholder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are at least <strong>17 years old<\/strong> by December 31, 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have completed <strong>Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology\/Biotechnology<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are unsure whether your score is competitive enough, <a href=\"https:\/\/ksquareinstitute.in\/blog\/neet-college-predictor-2026\">predict your college options<\/a> first and then decide whether AIQ counselling or state counselling makes more sense at your rank. A clear understanding of your realistic options prevents wasted effort and fees.

Follow every step carefully \u2014 a single mistake in your details can delay or disqualify your application. Keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/ksquareinstitute.in\/blog\/re-neet-2026-counselling-documents\">NEET counselling documents ready<\/a> before you even open the portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-1-visit-the-official-mcc-portal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Visit the Official MCC Portal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/mcc.nic.in\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"mcc.nic.in\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">official MCC website<\/a>. On the homepage, click on <strong>&#8220;UG Medical Counselling&#8221;<\/strong> and then select the <strong>&#8220;New Registration 2026&#8221;<\/strong> tab. Read the instructions displayed on screen completely before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-2-enter-your-neet-details\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 Enter Your NEET Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fill in your NEET UG 2026 roll number, parent&#8217;s name, date of birth, and the security code displayed on screen. These must match your NTA records exactly \u2014 even a minor spelling difference will flag your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-3-create-your-login-credentials\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2014 Create Your Login Credentials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set a strong password. Your login credentials will also be sent to your registered email address and mobile number. Save them securely \u2014 you will need them for choice filling, seat allotment checking, and every subsequent round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-4-fill-your-personal-and-academic-details\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2014 Fill Your Personal and Academic Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Log in and complete the full registration form. Enter your personal information, educational qualifications, NEET rank, category details, and upload a passport-size photo and scanned signature in the format specified by MCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-5-pay-the-registration-fee-and-security-deposit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 \u2014 Pay the Registration Fee and Security Deposit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where many students get confused. Payment must be done online via credit card, debit card, or net banking. Your MCC NEET 2026 counselling registration is considered incomplete without successful fee payment. We break down the exact NEET 2026 counselling fees in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-6-submit-and-download-confirmation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6 \u2014 Submit and Download Confirmation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review all your details one final time. Click submit, and download the registration confirmation page as a PDF. Keep a printout \u2014 you will need it during institute reporting. Many students skip this step and regret it later when they need proof of registration.

There are two components \u2014 a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit. Here is the breakdown based on the latest MCC bulletin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"for-15-aiq-central-universities-aiims-jipmer-afmc-esic-b-sc-nursing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">For 15% AIQ \/ Central Universities \/ AIIMS \/ JIPMER \/ AFMC \/ ESIC \/ BSc Nursing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Category<\/th><th>Registration Fee (Non-refundable)<\/th><th>Security Deposit (Refundable)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>General \/ EWS<\/td><td>\u20b91,000<\/td><td>\u20b910,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC \/ ST \/ OBC \/ PwD<\/td><td>\u20b9500<\/td><td>\u20b95,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"for-deemed-universities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Deemed Universities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Category<\/th><th>Registration Fee (Non-refundable)<\/th><th>Security Deposit (Refundable)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>All Categories<\/td><td>\u20b95,000<\/td><td>\u20b92,00,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important rule<\/strong>: If you are applying for both government (AIQ\/Central) and deemed university seats, you only need to pay the higher fee \u2014 \u20b95,000 registration + \u20b92,00,000 security deposit. You do not pay both separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The security deposit is refunded if you do not receive a seat or if you exit counselling through the official process within the allowed window. Leaving a seat outside the permitted exit round results in forfeiture of the entire deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"documents-you-must-keep-ready-before-registration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents You Must Keep Ready Before Registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not wait until the deadline to gather your paperwork. Having your NEET counselling documents ready in advance saves you from last-minute panic. Here is the complete checklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NEET UG 2026 admit card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NEET UG 2026 scorecard \/ rank letter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MCC seat allotment letter (after seat allotment round)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class 10 mark sheet and certificate (serves as DOB proof)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class 12 mark sheet and certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 recent passport-size photographs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Category certificate (SC \/ ST \/ OBC-NCL \/ EWS), if applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PwD certificate, if applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OCI \/ PIO certificate, if applicable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All NEET counselling documents must be in <strong>English or Hindi<\/strong>. Certificates in regional languages may need to be translated and notarised. Keep both originals and photocopies \u2014 you will submit photocopies and show originals during institute verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-happens-after-you-complete-registration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens After You Complete Registration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your MCC NEET 2026 counselling registration is confirmed and payment is verified, the process moves to the next stage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choice filling opens<\/strong> \u2014 Log in to the MCC portal, select your preferred colleges and courses, arrange them in order of preference, and lock your choices before the deadline. Unlocked choices are auto-locked by the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seat allotment result<\/strong> \u2014 MCC releases the Round 1 allotment based on your rank, preferences, category, and seat availability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reporting to allotted college<\/strong> \u2014 Visit the allotted institute with all original documents, complete physical verification, and pay the admission fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subsequent rounds<\/strong> \u2014 If you did not get your preferred seat in Round 1, you can participate in Round 2, Round 3 (Mop-Up), and the Stray Vacancy Round to upgrade.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding every round of the MCC counselling registration process is essential if you want to upgrade your seat without losing your deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-word\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MCC NEET 2026 counselling registration window is short, and once it closes, there is no extension. Do not wait for the last day. Register early, double-check every detail, keep your documents organised from day one, and understand the fee structure before you start so there are no surprises at the payment screen. Your rank earned you a chance \u2014 do not let a registration error or missing NEET counselling documents take it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"\u2753-faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2753 FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: When will MCC NEET UG 2026 counselling registration start?<\/strong> A: MCC is expected to announce the exact registration dates on mcc.nic.in shortly after the official NEET 2026 result declaration. Dates are released separately for each round, so keep checking the portal regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I register for both AIQ and state counselling simultaneously?<\/strong> A: Yes, you can participate in both MCC AIQ counselling and your respective state counselling at the same time. However, you must follow the exit rules of each process carefully to avoid forfeiting your security deposit in either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What happens if I miss the MCC registration deadline?<\/strong> A: If you miss the registration window for Round 1, you may still register during later rounds (Round 2 or Mop-Up), depending on MCC&#8217;s schedule. Earlier rounds offer more seats and better options, so timely registration is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is the MCC counselling security deposit refundable?<\/strong> A: Yes. As part of the NEET 2026 counselling fees, the security deposit is fully refundable if you do not receive a seat allotment or if you exit the process through the official exit option within the permitted round. Leaving a seat outside the allowed exit window results in forfeiture of the deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do I need to register separately for each counselling round?<\/strong> A: For Round 1 and Round 2, MCC typically uses the same registration. However, for the Mop-Up Round, fresh registration may be required. Always verify the round-specific instructions on the MCC portal before each deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I change my registered details after submission?<\/strong> A: Once submitted, core details like roll number and date of birth cannot be changed. Minor corrections may be allowed during a specific correction window if MCC opens one. Review everything carefully before clicking submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NEET 2026 result is out, and for lakhs of students, the next make-or-break step is not another exam \u2014 it is counselling.
