If you took part in Round 1 choice filling for NEET UG 2026 counselling under the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), your provisional seat allotment is now visible on mcc.nic.in. This is the first, unconfirmed version of your seat — it tells you which college, course and quota you have been tentatively matched to, but it is not yet final. MCC has opened a narrow window for candidates to flag specific errors before the list is locked. Missing this window, or misunderstanding what can be objected to, can cost you the chance to correct a genuine mistake in your allotment.
Log in now, check every detail of your provisional allotment line by line, and file an objection only if there is a genuine error in your personal data, category, quota or course — not because you simply prefer a different seat.
What this provisional list actually covers
This round of allotment is for the seats MCC directly controls: the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in MBBS and BDS colleges across states, plus 100% of the seats at AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU, ESIC institutions and Central Universities. Delhi University and IP University quota seats are also part of this list.
State quota seats, private college management/NRI quota seats, and any state-level counselling seats are handled separately by respective state authorities and are not part of this MCC list.
Why 'provisional' matters more than students think
MCC has been explicit that this allotment carries no legal weight yet — it is indicative, meant only to let candidates see where they currently stand and to catch errors before the list is finalised. No candidate has a confirmed claim on the seat shown until the final Round 1 list is published after objections are reviewed.
This means two things practically: first, do not assume your seat is locked and stop preparing for Round 2 possibilities; second, use this exact window to fix any data problem, because after the final list is out, correcting a category or quota error becomes far harder.
Key dates for Round 1
The full counselling timeline for this round is tight — barely two weeks between provisional allotment and the end of physical reporting. Aspirants and parents should mark these dates clearly.
| Event | Date/Time |
|---|---|
| Provisional Round 1 allotment released | August 20, 2026 |
| Deadline to raise objections | August 21, 2026, 3:59 PM |
| Reporting at allotted institute | August 22 to August 31, 2026 |
What you can and cannot object to
MCC's grievance system for this round is deliberately narrow. It exists to fix factual errors, not to relitigate your choice-filling strategy. Objections are accepted only in three situations: a mismatch in your personal data, an allotment under the wrong category or quota, or being shown the wrong course altogether.
If you simply wish you had gotten a different, more preferred college from your own list, that is not grounds for an objection — that outcome is governed by your rank, your choices and seat availability, and can only be addressed by how you plan Round 2 (or later rounds), not through the grievance system.
- Valid grounds: wrong name/personal details, wrong category (e.g., General instead of OBC/EWS/SC/ST), wrong quota, wrong course (MBBS vs BDS mix-up).
- Not valid grounds: dissatisfaction with the specific college/course you were allotted despite correct data.
- Objections must be filed through the Candidate Grievances and Query Redressal System on mcc.nic.in, with supporting proof uploaded, before 3:59 PM on August 21, 2026.
If your allotment is correct: preparing to report
Candidates who find no errors should begin preparing for physical reporting at the allotted institute between August 22 and 31. This is not just a formality — the institute verifies your original documents before confirming your admission, and any discrepancy discovered at this stage can delay or jeopardise your seat.
Carry your downloaded provisional allotment letter along with your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, admit card, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets, a valid category certificate if applicable, and a government-issued photo ID. Keep both originals and photocopies, since institutes typically retain copies after verification.
- Downloaded MCC provisional allotment letter
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets/certificates
- Category/reservation certificate, where applicable
- Valid photo ID proof
What happens if you don't report
This is the part many families underestimate: failing to report within the August 22–31 window means the allotted seat is simply withdrawn and pushed back into the pool for Round 2. There is no automatic carry-forward or grace period built into this stage — silence is treated as a decision to give up the seat.
If you are genuinely unable to report for a valid reason, contact the concerned institute and MCC helpdesk immediately rather than assuming the seat will wait for you.

Where do I check my MCC Round 1 provisional allotment?
Log in at mcc.nic.in using your NEET UG 2026 roll number, password and the security pin, under the UG Medical Counselling section.
Can I object because I didn't get my preferred college?
No. Objections are accepted only for personal data mismatch, wrong category/quota, or wrong course allotted — not for a college you would have preferred over the one allotted.
What is the deadline to raise an objection?
Objections must be submitted through the Candidate Grievances and Query Redressal System by 3:59 PM on August 21, 2026.
Is this provisional allotment my confirmed seat?
No. MCC has stated it is indicative only, with no legal right attached. The final Round 1 allotment is issued after all objections are reviewed.
What documents do I need while reporting to the allotted institute?
Bring the downloaded allotment letter, NEET UG 2026 scorecard, admit card, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), and a valid photo ID.
What if I miss the reporting window between August 22 and 31?
The allotted seat will be treated as forfeited and released back into the pool for Round 2 counselling.
Does this allotment include state quota seats?
No. It covers 15% AIQ seats, AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU, ESIC, Central Universities, and DU/IP University quota seats only. State quota seats are handled by state counselling authorities separately.
The next few days matter far more than they may seem: verify every field on your provisional allotment carefully, file an objection only if it fits MCC's specific criteria, and start assembling your original documents regardless of outcome. Watch the MCC portal for the final Round 1 list and the Round 2 schedule expected soon after August 31, 2026.
