The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued an urgent notice suspending Round 2 choice filling for a 2-hour window today (13 November 2026) from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. This temporary halt is to allow medical colleges to complete the admission reporting process for Round 1 candidates who have not yet been marked as reported on the MCC portal. During this suspension, you will not be able to fill or modify your Round 2 choices. Once the suspension ends at 2:00 PM, the choice-filling portal will reopen and you can proceed normally. This is a time-sensitive notice that affects anyone currently filling choices for Round 2.
Round 2 choice filling is suspended today (13 Nov 2026) from 12 noon to 2 PM; the portal will reopen at 2 PM for you to fill or modify your choices.

Unlock My College ListWhat is happening and why?
MCC has temporarily suspended the Round 2 choice-filling window to address a backlog in Round 1 candidate reporting. Some medical colleges have not yet completed the online admission formalities and reported their Round 1 candidates on the MCC portal. This reporting is a mandatory step that confirms a candidate has joined their allotted college and completed admission procedures.
By pausing Round 2 choice filling for 2 hours (12 noon to 2 PM on 13 November 2026), MCC is giving colleges a dedicated window to finish this reporting work. This ensures that all Round 1 admissions are properly recorded before Round 2 choices are processed, which helps prevent errors and ensures fairness in the next round of allotment.
Important dates and times
The suspension is in effect for exactly 2 hours on 13 November 2026. During this time, the choice-filling portal will be unavailable to candidates.
- Choice filling suspension: 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM on 13 November 2026
- Choice filling resumes: 2:00 PM on 13 November 2026

This suspension affects all candidates who are currently eligible to fill or modify their Round 2 choices. If you have been allotted a seat in Round 1 and have already reported to your college, you are now waiting to participate in Round 2. If you have not yet filled your Round 2 choices, or if you were planning to modify your choices today, you will need to wait until 2:00 PM.
Candidates who have already completed their Round 2 choice filling before 12:00 noon today are not affected — their choices are already submitted. Only those attempting to fill or change choices between 12:00 noon and 2:00 PM will encounter the suspension.
What you cannot do during the suspension
Between 12:00 noon and 2:00 PM on 13 November 2026, the MCC portal will not allow you to perform any choice-filling activities. This includes filling your choice list for the first time, modifying existing choices, or submitting your final choice list.
- You cannot access the choice-filling portal
- You cannot fill new choices
- You cannot modify or delete existing choices
- You cannot submit or finalize your choice list
What happens after 2:00 PM
Once the 2-hour suspension ends at 2:00 PM on 13 November 2026, the choice-filling portal will be fully operational again. You will be able to log in, fill your choices, modify them, and submit your final choice list as normal. There is no change to the choice-filling process itself — only the timing is affected.
MCC advises all candidates to plan accordingly. If you were planning to fill your choices during the suspended window, simply wait until 2:00 PM and proceed then. If you have already filled your choices before noon, you can modify them after 2:00 PM if you wish.
Why is MCC doing this?
MCC has stated that this suspension is being done 'keeping in view the larger interest of candidates.' The reason is to ensure that all Round 1 admissions are properly completed and recorded before Round 2 allotment is processed. If some Round 1 candidates are not reported on the portal, it can create confusion and errors in the Round 2 allotment algorithm.

How to stay updated
MCC has advised all candidates to stay in touch with the official MCC website for further updates. Given that this is an urgent notice issued on the same day as the suspension, it is possible that additional notices or clarifications may be posted.
Check the MCC website (www.mcc.nic.in) regularly, especially if you have any questions or if you encounter any technical issues when the portal reopens at 2:00 PM. You can also contact MCC via email at adgme@nic.in if you need assistance.

What if I have already filled my Round 2 choices?
If you filled your Round 2 choices before 12:00 noon on 13 November 2026, your choices are already submitted and safe. The suspension does not affect choices that have already been finalized. You do not need to do anything.
However, if you wish to modify your choices after 2:00 PM today, you will be able to do so once the portal reopens. MCC typically allows candidates to modify their choices until the choice-filling deadline, so check the official schedule for the exact last date and time.
What if I cannot fill my choices after 2:00 PM today?
The suspension is only for 2 hours today. Once the portal reopens at 2:00 PM, you will have the remainder of the Round 2 choice-filling window to submit your choices. MCC has not announced any change to the overall choice-filling deadline — only this temporary 2-hour suspension.
If you are unable to fill your choices today, you can do so on any subsequent day before the Round 2 choice-filling deadline. However, it is always safer to fill your choices as soon as possible to avoid last-minute technical issues or missing the deadline.
