If you registered for the all-India NEET UG counselling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the round 1 result is now out — and it directly decides whether you have a seat, and where. MCC announced that 29,945 candidates have been allotted a seat in this round, covering All India Quota MBBS, BDS and deemed/central university seats. The window for candidates to raise objections about their allotment has already closed, and the round 1 final merit list is being published the same day. For anyone allotted a seat, the clock is now running on a short, strict reporting deadline — miss it, and you risk losing the seat entirely.
If you have been allotted a seat in MCC round 1, you must report to that college with the full document set between the reporting window dates — skipping this step can cost you the seat even if you plan to try for a better one in round 2.
What actually happened
MCC published the round 1 provisional seat allotment result for NEET UG 2026 counselling. Candidates who had filled and locked their choices during the choice-filling phase were matched against available seats based on their NEET rank, category and quota eligibility.
A total of 29,945 candidates received an allotment in this round. The grievance window, where candidates could flag errors in their allotment, closed at 8 am on the day after the result was announced. The final merit list for round 1 is being released on the same day the reporting process begins.
How to check your allotment
Your allotment letter is not emailed or texted to you — you need to log in and download it yourself from the official MCC portal.
- Go to mcc.nic.in and find the round 1 seat allotment result link under the candidate activity section
- Log in with your NEET UG roll number and password
- Open the round 1 result section inside your login
- Your allotment letter will display on screen — download and save it immediately
- Keep a printed copy; colleges will ask for the physical letter at reporting
Reporting timeline — don't miss this
This is the part aspirants most often get wrong: getting a seat allotted is not the same as being admitted. You must physically report to the allotted institute within the given window and complete verification for the seat to be confirmed.

Documents you must carry — check this before you travel
Colleges will not admit you without the correct paperwork, and arranging some certificates (like domicile or migration) at the last minute is genuinely difficult. Go through this list today, not on the morning you plan to travel.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Provisional seat allotment letter downloaded from MCC or the relevant state portal
- Class 10 certificate and mark sheet (date of birth proof)
- Class 12 or interim mark sheet and passing certificate
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID or Passport)
- 8–10 passport-size photographs matching your NEET application photo
- Category certificate — SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS — from a competent authority, if applicable
- PwD certificate from a designated disability centre, if applicable
- Domicile certificate, mandatory if you are claiming a state quota seat
- Transfer certificate / school leaving certificate
- Migration certificate, if applicable
- Character certificate from your last institution
- Medical fitness certificate in the prescribed format
- Gap year affidavit, if you took a break after Class 12
- Fee payment receipts and proof of counselling registration
What if you don't want this college?
NEET counselling generally runs across multiple rounds. If you got a seat you don't want to keep, you typically have the option to still enter later rounds depending on the specific upgrade or withdrawal rules MCC notifies for that round — but this comes with real risk, since seats already allotted and not reported for can be forfeited, and rules on retaining versus upgrading vary round to round.
Before deciding to skip reporting in hope of a better seat in round 2, read the official MCC information bulletin for this counselling year carefully, since the consequences of not reporting differ from the consequences of reporting and later opting for an upgrade.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
How many candidates got a seat in round 1 this year?
MCC's round 1 result allotted seats to 29,945 candidates across the participating MBBS, BDS and other eligible courses under its purview.
What is the last date to report to my allotted college?
The reporting and joining window for round 1 runs from August 22 to August 31, 2026. Institutes will verify joined candidates on September 1, 2026.
I found an error in my allotment — can I still raise a grievance?
The grievance window for round 1 closed at 8 am on August 22, 2026. If you missed it, watch for MCC's round 2 schedule and its own grievance window, and contact the helpdesk listed on mcc.nic.in in the meantime.
Where do I download my allotment letter?
Log into mcc.nic.in with your NEET UG roll number and password, go to the round 1 seat allotment result section, and download the letter shown there. It is not sent by email or SMS.
What happens if I don't report within the given window?
Not reporting within the stipulated dates generally risks forfeiting the allotted seat. Always check the current information bulletin, since exact consequences and any grace provisions are specified there for each counselling round.
Is a domicile certificate compulsory for every candidate?
No — it is required only if you are claiming a state quota seat rather than an All India Quota seat, but it's wise to keep it ready regardless of which seat you're allotted.
If your name appears in the round 1 allotment, treat the reporting window as non-negotiable: verify your document list today, and reach your allotted college well before August 31. Keep checking mcc.nic.in for the round 2 schedule, since decisions about upgrading or waiting for a better seat should only be made after reading the official rules for this counselling cycle.
