This is the official list of newly added seats made available for Round 2 of NEET PG 2026 counselling. These are additional postgraduate medical positions (MD, MS, and DNB broad-speciality qualifications) that have been added to the seat matrix after the initial Round 2 publication. Newly added seats typically arise when colleges report additional capacity, when seats are vacated by candidates who do not join, or when regulatory approvals for new positions are received.
The seat matrix is organised by speciality, college, and category (General, OBC, SC, ST, and other applicable quotas). This document is essential for candidates to understand which specialities and colleges have newly available seats in Round 2, and to make informed decisions about their choice-filling or participation in subsequent rounds.

How to Access the Seat Matrix
The newly added seats for Round 2 (MD/MS/DNB) are published on the official MCC portal. You can download or view the complete seat matrix document from the MCC website or the DGHS portal. The document is in PDF format and contains detailed information organised by speciality, college, and category.
To access it: visit the MCC official website (mcc.nic.in) or the DGHS portal, navigate to the NEET PG 2026 counselling section, and look for the Round 2 newly added seats document. Save a copy for your records and cross-reference it with your NEET PG score, category, and preferred specialities.
Understanding the Seat Matrix Structure
The seat matrix is typically presented in a tabular format with columns for speciality name, college name, total newly added seats, and a breakdown by category (General, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories as applicable). Each row represents a specific speciality-college combination.
When reading the matrix, note the exact number of newly added seats in your category at each college and speciality. This helps you prioritise your choices during choice-filling. Remember that newly added seats may have different eligibility criteria or may be subject to specific conditions — always read any footnotes or conditions mentioned in the document.
Important Points to Remember
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
Newly added seats are subject to the same eligibility criteria as the original seats — you must meet the NEET PG 2026 score requirement, hold a valid MBBS degree, and satisfy any other regulatory requirements for the speciality and college.
The availability of newly added seats does not guarantee allotment. Allotment depends on your rank, category, and the choices you fill. Seats are allocated strictly according to merit and the counselling algorithm.
If you have already been allotted a seat in Round 1, you may be eligible to participate in upgradation rounds if newly added seats in a higher-ranked college or preferred speciality become available. Check the MCC counselling schedule for upgradation round dates.
Do not delay in reviewing this list if you are preparing to fill choices for Round 2. The choice-filling window may be limited, and having a clear understanding of available seats beforehand will help you make better decisions.
Next Steps for Candidates

2. Cross-reference the newly added seats with your NEET PG 2026 score, category, and preferred specialities.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What are newly added seats in NEET PG counselling?
Newly added seats are additional postgraduate medical positions (MD, MS, DNB) that become available after the initial seat matrix is published. They arise when colleges report extra capacity, when candidates do not join their allotted seats, or when regulatory approvals for new positions are granted. These seats are released in subsequent rounds of counselling to give more candidates an opportunity to secure a postgraduate medical seat.
Why is Round 2 newly added seats list important?
This list shows candidates which specialities and colleges have additional seats available in Round 2. If you did not get an allotment in Round 1, or if you want to explore more options, the newly added seats may include your preferred speciality or college. Reviewing this list helps you make informed choices for the next round of counselling.
How do I know if newly added seats are available in my category?
The seat matrix breaks down newly added seats by category (General, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories). Find your category column and check the rows for your preferred specialities and colleges. The number shown is the count of newly added seats available in that category for that speciality-college combination.
Can I get an allotment in a newly added seat if I was not allotted in Round 1?
Yes, if you are eligible and participate in Round 2 or a subsequent round of counselling. Your allotment depends on your NEET PG rank, category, and the choices you fill. Newly added seats follow the same merit-based allocation process as original seats. You must fill your choices during the designated choice-filling window to be considered for these seats.
What if I already have an allotment from Round 1? Should I check the newly added seats?
Yes. If newly added seats are available in a higher-ranked college or your preferred speciality, you may be eligible to participate in an upgradation round. Reviewing the newly added seats helps you identify potential upgradation opportunities. Check the MCC counselling schedule for upgradation round dates and eligibility criteria.
Are newly added seats subject to the same eligibility criteria as original seats?
Yes. Newly added seats have the same eligibility requirements — you must have a valid MBBS degree, meet the NEET PG 2026 score cutoff for your category, and satisfy any other regulatory requirements for the speciality and college. There are no separate or relaxed eligibility criteria for newly added seats.
When will the choice-filling window for Round 2 open?
The exact dates for Round 2 choice-filling will be announced by MCC on their official portal. Check the MCC website regularly for the counselling schedule. Do not miss the choice-filling deadline — if you do not fill choices within the window, you will not be considered for allotment in that round.
Where can I download the newly added seats matrix?
The newly added seats matrix for Round 2 (MD/MS/DNB) is available on the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in) and the DGHS portal. Navigate to the NEET PG 2026 counselling section and look for the Round 2 newly added seats document. It is published as a PDF file that you can download and save.
What should I do if I find an error in the newly added seats list?
If you believe there is an error in the newly added seats matrix (e.g., incorrect seat count, missing speciality, or category mislabelling), contact the MCC helpline or submit a formal grievance through the official portal. Provide clear details of the error and supporting documentation. MCC will investigate and issue a corrected matrix if necessary.
Can newly added seats be withdrawn or reduced before the next round?
Newly added seats are subject to regulatory and administrative approval. In rare cases, if a college's approval is withdrawn or capacity is reduced, seats may be removed from the matrix. MCC will publish an updated matrix if this occurs. Always check the latest version of the seat matrix before filling choices to ensure you have the most current information.
