The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which runs the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc. Nursing seats, has switched on 'New Candidate Registration' on its official portal for NEET UG Counselling 2026. This is the first step candidates take before they can log in and later fill choices during the counselling rounds. It is important to understand that this update only opens the registration gateway — MCC has not yet released the full 2026 schedule, registration fee, round dates or document checklist on this page. Candidates who cleared NEET UG 2026 should treat this as a signal to create their account and then watch the portal closely for the detailed notice with dates and fees.
MCC has enabled first-time registration on its counselling portal for NEET UG 2026, but the detailed schedule, fees and document list for AIQ counselling have not been announced yet — candidates should register now and track the portal for the full notice.
What exactly has MCC done?
MCC's official counselling website now lists 'NEET UG Counselling for MBBS, BDS & B.Sc. Nursing 2026' as the active counselling session in its login and registration menu. Alongside the sign-in box for candidates who already have an account, there is a 'New Candidate Registration — Apply for the first time' link.
This means the portal is ready to accept first-time registrations from candidates who want to participate in the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling for the 2026 session. AIQ is the 15% of MBBS/BDS seats in government colleges (and all seats in central institutions like AIIMS-type bodies that use MCC) that are filled through MCC's centralised counselling, as opposed to the remaining seats filled by individual states.
What this notice does NOT tell you
It is important not to assume details that are not on this page. This particular update from MCC does not mention any registration start or end date, round-wise schedule, registration or security deposit fee amount, seat matrix, or the list of documents required for verification.
Do not rely on guesswork or on other websites for these numbers. MCC typically issues a separate, detailed 'Information Bulletin' or schedule notice once registration formally opens for a round — that is the document that will carry dates, fees and document requirements. Keep checking the same MCC portal for that follow-up notice.
How to register on the MCC portal
Based on what is visible on the portal, here is the general process for a first-time candidate:
- Go to the MCC counselling website and look for the 'New Candidate Registration — Apply for the first time' link.
- You will be asked to register using your NEET UG Roll Number as your identifier.
- You will need to set a Password for your account — this password is used every time you log in later for choice filling, document upload, or checking allotment results.
- The login screen also requires a Security Pin (a case-sensitive code shown on screen, with an audio option for those who need it) each time you sign in.
- Once registered, use the 'Registered Candidates Sign-In' box with your Roll Number, Password and Security Pin for all future logins.
Keep your account secure — MCC's own warnings
MCC has published specific security instructions on the portal, and these matter because your counselling seat, choices and documents are tied to this single login.
- Password confidentiality is entirely your responsibility — do not share it with anyone, including friends or coaching staff.
- Change your password at regular intervals as an added precaution.
- Beware of phishing — MCC will never email you asking for your Login ID or Password. Do not respond to such emails.
- Never share the OTP (One-Time Password) sent to you for actions like resetting your password.
- Always click LOGOUT and close the browser window after you finish your work on the portal.
Who should register now
Any candidate who has appeared for and is eligible based on NEET UG 2026 and wishes to be considered for All India Quota MBBS or BDS seats (as well as B.Sc. Nursing seats covered under the same counselling, though this platform focuses on MBBS/BDS) should complete this registration step once it is confirmed as active for their session.
Registering now does not commit you to any specific round or college — it simply creates your account on the system so that you are ready to fill choices and upload documents as soon as MCC opens those specific windows with its detailed schedule.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Has MCC announced the NEET UG 2026 counselling schedule with dates?
No. This particular portal update only shows that new candidate registration has been enabled. No dates for registration closing, choice filling, or seat allotment rounds are given in this notice. A separate detailed schedule notice from MCC is expected.
Is there a registration fee for MCC counselling 2026?
The fee amount is not mentioned in this notice. Candidates should wait for MCC's detailed information bulletin, which normally specifies the registration and security deposit fees.
What do I need to register for the first time?
Based on the portal, you register using your NEET UG Roll Number and then create a Password for your account, which you will use along with a Security Pin every time you log in.
Does this cover state quota seats too?
No. MCC's counselling covers the All India Quota (AIQ) seats and central institutions. State quota and management/private seats are handled separately by each state's own counselling authority.
Is this registration only for MBBS and BDS?
The portal lists this counselling as covering MBBS, BDS and B.Sc. Nursing together. MedAdmit's coverage here focuses on the MBBS and BDS aspects relevant to NEET UG candidates.
What documents will I need?
This notice does not list any documents. MCC will specify the required document list in its detailed information bulletin for the counselling round, so keep watching the portal for that.
Can I register even if I haven't decided on colleges yet?
Yes. Registration is just the account-creation step. Choice filling (selecting colleges/courses) happens later, in a separate window that MCC will announce.
For now, the only confirmed action is that MCC's portal is accepting new candidate registrations for the NEET UG 2026 counselling session — go ahead and create your account using your NEET UG Roll Number if you plan to participate in All India Quota MBBS/BDS counselling. Keep checking the same MCC portal for the detailed schedule, fees and document list, since those have not been released yet, and never share your password, OTP or security pin with anyone.
