MCC NEET UG 2026 Round-2 Counselling: Float Option Document Upload & Verification Schedule

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has published the official schedule for document upload and verification for candidates who chose the FLOAT option in Round-2 of NEET UG Counselling 2026. This is a critical timeline — all key deadlines fall on 18 and 19 September 2026, and missing even one deadline can result in your seat being cancelled. If you selected FLOAT (meaning you want to try for a better college in this round), you must follow this schedule exactly. The notice covers when you must upload documents, when colleges will verify them, when you can correct any issues, and when your final admission status will be confirmed.

What is the FLOAT option and who does this notice apply to?

In NEET UG Counselling 2026, after Round-1, candidates are given a choice: FREEZE or FLOAT. If you chose FREEZE, you locked in your Round-1 allotted seat and are not part of this notice. If you chose FLOAT, you are trying to upgrade to a better college or course in Round-2, and this schedule applies to you.

The FLOAT option means you are willing to give up your current seat and participate in Round-2 allotment. This notice tells you exactly when you must upload your documents, when colleges will check them, and what happens if there are errors. Every step has a strict time limit — there are no extensions.

Complete timeline: all dates and deadlines

All events in this schedule occur on 18 and 19 September 2026. The notice specifies exact times for each step. Below is the full sequence in order:

Step 1: Upload your documents by 5:00 PM on 18.09.2026

This is your first critical deadline. You must log into the MCC counselling portal and upload all required documents before 5:00 PM on 18 September 2026. The notice does not specify which documents are required — you should refer to the Round-2 counselling information brochure or the MCC website for the exact list. Typically, NEET UG counselling requires documents such as your NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, caste/category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and other proof as per your category.

Do not wait until the last minute. Upload early so you have time to check that all files are readable and in the correct format. If you miss this 5:00 PM deadline, you will not be able to upload documents, and your seat will be at risk.

• Log into the MCC counselling portal
• Upload all required documents in the specified format (usually PDF)
• Ensure file names and content are clear and legible
• Complete upload before 5:00 PM on 18.09.2026

Step 2: Colleges verify documents (6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on 18.09.2026)

After you upload, the MCC will publish a list (by 6:00 PM) showing which candidates' documents are still pending verification, organized by college. Your allotted college will then review your documents between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM on 18 September. They are looking for errors, missing pages, illegible text, or documents that do not match the eligibility criteria.

If the college finds any discrepancy (error or missing information), they will raise a query against your name. You will see this query when you log into your account. Common discrepancies include: missing pages in a certificate, a certificate issued before the required date, a caste certificate that does not show the sub-caste or district as required, or a document that does not match your NEET application data.

• MCC publishes pending verification list by 6:00 PM on 18.09.2026
• Your college reviews your documents between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM
• If errors are found, the college raises a discrepancy query
• You will see the query in your account

Step 3: Correct and re-upload documents if there are errors (by 11:30 PM on 18.09.2026)

If your college raises a discrepancy, you have ONE last chance to fix it. Between 8:00 PM and 11:30 PM on 18 September 2026, you must log in, read the college's query, and re-upload the corrected or missing document. This is your final opportunity — there are no further chances after 11:30 PM.

For example, if the college says your caste certificate is missing the district name, you must obtain a corrected certificate and upload it. If a document is illegible, you must scan it again at higher quality and re-upload. If you do not re-upload by 11:30 PM, the college will assume you cannot provide the correct document, and your seat will be cancelled automatically.

• Log into your account and check the discrepancy query from your college
• Understand exactly what is wrong or missing
• Obtain the corrected or missing document
• Re-upload it before 11:30 PM on 18.09.2026
• If you do not re-upload, your seat will be cancelled

Step 4: College confirms or cancels your admission (by 11:00 AM on 19.09.2026)

After you re-upload (or if there were no discrepancies), the college will make a final decision: CONFIRM or CANCEL your admission. This decision will be made by 11:00 AM on 19 September 2026. If your documents are now correct, the college will confirm your admission. If you did not re-upload corrected documents, or if the re-uploaded documents still have errors, the college will cancel your seat.

Once the college confirms, your admission to that college and course is final for Round-2. You cannot change your choice after confirmation.

• College reviews re-uploaded documents (if any)
• College decides to CONFIRM or CANCEL by 11:00 AM on 19.09.2026
• Confirmation is final — you cannot change your choice after this

Step 5: Check your final admission status online (after 12:30 PM on 19.09.2026)

After 12:30 PM on 19 September 2026, log into your MCC counselling account and check your admission status. You will see whether your admission has been confirmed or cancelled. If confirmed, note the college name, course, and any reporting instructions. If cancelled, you will need to decide your next steps — you may be eligible for a subsequent round or spot counselling, depending on MCC's schedule.

Do not rely on email or SMS alone — always log in and verify your status directly on the portal.

• Log into the MCC counselling portal after 12:30 PM on 19.09.2026
• Check your admission status
• If confirmed, note all college and course details
• If cancelled, check for further counselling rounds

Critical trap: What happens if you don't re-upload corrected documents?

The notice is very clear on this point: 'If candidate does not upload corrected documents the seat will get cancelled.' This is automatic — there is no manual review or appeal. If your college raises a discrepancy and you do not re-upload by 11:30 PM on 18 September, your seat is gone. You cannot contact the college later and ask for another chance.

This is the single biggest risk in this process. Many candidates miss the re-upload deadline because they do not check their account regularly, or they assume they have more time. Do not make this mistake. Set a phone reminder for 8:00 PM on 18 September to check for discrepancies, and have your corrected documents ready to upload immediately.

• Discrepancy raised by college → you must re-upload by 11:30 PM same day
• No re-upload = automatic seat cancellation
• No appeals or extensions — this is final
• Check your account frequently between 6:00 PM and 11:30 PM on 18.09.2026

What documents are typically required? (Refer to the counselling brochure)

This notice does not list the specific documents you must upload. You must refer to the official MCC Round-2 counselling information brochure or the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) for the complete list. However, based on standard NEET UG counselling practice, you will likely need:

For all candidates: NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th mark sheet, 12th mark sheet, passport-size photograph, and signature. For SC/ST/OBC candidates: valid caste/category certificate issued by the competent authority, showing your caste name, sub-caste (if applicable), and district. For candidates claiming domicile: domicile certificate. For candidates with a disability: disability certificate from a medical board. For candidates claiming any other quota or exemption: relevant supporting documents.

Ensure every document is a clear, legible scan or photograph. Blurry or incomplete documents will be flagged as discrepancies.

• NEET admit card and scorecard
• 10th and 12th mark sheets
• Caste/category certificate (if applicable)
• Domicile certificate (if applicable)
• Disability certificate (if applicable)
• Passport-size photograph and signature
• Any other document specified in the counselling brochure

Common document errors that lead to discrepancies

Colleges often raise discrepancies for the same reasons. Knowing these will help you avoid them:

Caste certificate errors: The certificate does not show your caste name clearly, does not show the sub-caste (if your state requires it), does not show the district, or was issued before a certain date (some states have a validity period). Mark sheet errors: Pages are missing, the document is illegible, or the name on the mark sheet does not exactly match your NEET application. Domicile certificate errors: The certificate is too old, does not show the required period of residence, or is not from the correct authority. Photograph/signature errors: The photograph is not recent, is not passport-size, or the signature does not match your NEET application. Missing documents: You uploaded 7 out of 8 required documents — even one missing document can trigger a discrepancy.

• Caste certificate: missing caste name, sub-caste, district, or issued too long ago
• Mark sheets: missing pages, illegible, or name mismatch
• Domicile certificate: too old or missing required information
• Photograph/signature: not recent, wrong size, or does not match NEET application
• Missing documents: even one missing document triggers a discrepancy

Important: This schedule is for FLOAT candidates only

If you chose FREEZE in Round-1, this schedule does NOT apply to you. You have already locked in your seat and do not need to upload documents again. Your only deadline is to physically report to your allotted college by 5:00 PM on 18 September 2026 (Step 1 in the table above).

If you are unsure whether you chose FREEZE or FLOAT, log into the MCC portal immediately and check your choice. If you chose FREEZE but want to participate in Round-2, you may need to contact MCC to change your choice — but check the counselling brochure for the exact procedure and any deadlines.

• FREEZE candidates: report physically by 5:00 PM on 18.09.2026 only
• FLOAT candidates: follow the full schedule in this notice
• Check your choice in the MCC portal if unsure
