The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced that the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) portal for Round 2 of NEET UG counselling 2026 is now live. All candidates applying under the PwD category must undergo medical assessment to confirm their disability status and eligibility for reserved seats. The assessment will be conducted by two boards — a Primary Medical Assessment Board and an Appellate Medical Assessment Board — on strict dates and times. Candidates must report to their assigned centre within the specified window and complete the assessment by the deadline, or they risk losing their seat allocation. This is a mandatory step; no candidate can proceed to seat allotment without a completed medical assessment on the MCC portal.
PwD candidates must complete medical assessment by 6 PM on 06/09/2026 (Primary Board) or by noon on 08/09/2026 (Appellate Board), or they will be ineligible for Round 2 allotment.
What is this notice about?
This notice informs all candidates applying under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category that the PwD portal for Round 2 of UG counselling 2026 is now active. Medical assessment is a mandatory verification step that MCC conducts to confirm a candidate's disability status and ensure they meet the eligibility criteria for PwD reserved seats.
The assessment is not a test or exam — it is a medical verification by qualified boards to validate the disability certificate you submitted during registration. Once your assessment is complete and your details are generated on the MCC portal, you become eligible for seat allotment in Round 2.
Who must undergo medical assessment?
All candidates who have applied under the PwD category in NEET UG 2026 counselling must undergo medical assessment. This includes candidates with any recognized disability (physical, sensory, or mental) who have submitted a valid disability certificate during registration.
If you applied under the General, OBC, SC, or ST category (without claiming PwD status), you do not need to attend this assessment. Only PwD category candidates are required to report to the assessment centres.
Important dates and deadlines
There are two separate assessment windows, depending on which board you are assigned to. It is critical that you know your assigned board and report within the correct time window — missing the deadline will disqualify you from Round 2 allotment.
The notice does not specify how candidates will know which board they are assigned to or where to find their centre details. You must check the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) regularly for your assignment letter or centre notification, which should be posted soon after this notice.
- Primary Medical Assessment Board: Report by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026; assessment must be completed by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026
- Appellate Medical Assessment Board: Report by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026; assessment must be completed by the same day (exact end time not specified in notice)
| Assessment Board | Reporting Deadline | Completion Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Medical Assessment Board | 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 | 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026 |
| Appellate Medical Assessment Board | 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 | Same day (exact time not specified) |
What is the Primary Medical Assessment Board?
The Primary Medical Assessment Board is the main assessment body. Most PwD candidates will be assigned to this board. You must report to your assigned Primary Assessment Centre by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026. The board will then conduct your medical assessment, which should be completed by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026.
The assessment may take several hours, so plan to be available for the full duration. Once your assessment is done, your details will be uploaded to the MCC portal automatically. Do not leave the centre until you receive confirmation that your assessment is complete and recorded online.
What is the Appellate Medical Assessment Board?
The Appellate Medical Assessment Board is a secondary assessment body for candidates who either could not attend the Primary Board assessment or wish to appeal their Primary Board assessment result. If you are assigned to the Appellate Board, you must report by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026.
The notice does not specify the exact deadline for completion of Appellate Board assessments, but you should assume it is the same day. If you are unsure whether you need to attend the Appellate Board, check the MCC website or your assignment letter for clarity.
How to find your assessment centre and reporting time
The notice does not provide a list of assessment centres or a direct link to find your assigned centre. This information will be posted on the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) separately, likely within the next few days. You must log in to the MCC counselling portal using your NEET roll number and password to view your centre assignment.
Check the MCC website daily for updates. The notice advises all candidates to 'regularly visit the MCC website for further updates and announcements.' Do not assume your centre or reporting time — always verify from the official portal before travelling.
- Visit mcc.nic.in and log in with your NEET roll number and password
- Look for your PwD assessment centre assignment and reporting time
- Note the exact centre address, date, and time
- Plan to arrive at least 15–30 minutes early
What documents to bring to the assessment centre
The notice does not explicitly list the documents you must bring to the assessment centre. However, based on standard MCC procedure, you should bring your original disability certificate, NEET admit card, and a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence). Contact the MCC helpline or check the website for a complete document checklist specific to your assessment centre.
Do not assume — verify the exact document list from the MCC website or your centre notification before you go. Arriving without the required documents may result in your assessment being postponed or cancelled, which could disqualify you from Round 2.
- Original disability certificate (issued by the competent authority)
- NEET UG 2026 admit card
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence)
- Any other documents specified in your centre notification
What happens after your medical assessment is complete?
Once your assessment is complete, the assessment board will generate your assessment details online on the MCC portal. This means your disability status has been verified and recorded. You will then become eligible for seat allotment in Round 2.
You do not need to do anything further after the assessment — the MCC will automatically include you in the Round 2 merit list and allotment process. However, you must monitor the MCC website for the Round 2 allotment schedule and any further instructions.
What if you miss the assessment deadline?
If you do not report to your assigned assessment centre by the deadline (10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 for Primary Board, or 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 for Appellate Board), your assessment will not be completed. This means your disability status will not be verified, and you will be ineligible for Round 2 seat allotment.
There is no mention in the notice of any extension or make-up assessment date. Treat these deadlines as absolute. If you have a genuine emergency that prevents you from attending, contact the MCC immediately at adgme@nic.in with proof of your situation, but do not assume an extension will be granted.
Common mistakes that will disqualify you
The most critical mistake is missing the reporting deadline. If you report even one minute after 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 (Primary Board) or 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 (Appellate Board), you may not be assessed. The notice is explicit: 'report to Primary Medical Assessment Board upto 10:30 AM' — 'upto' means by that time, not after.
Another trap is not checking the MCC website for your centre assignment. Many candidates assume they know where to go or wait for an SMS that may not arrive. The notice says to 'regularly visit the MCC website' — this is your responsibility. If you go to the wrong centre or on the wrong date, your assessment will not happen, and you will lose your seat.
Finally, do not bring incomplete or expired documents. Your disability certificate must be valid and issued by a competent authority. If the certificate is rejected during assessment, your PwD status will not be verified, and you will be ineligible for PwD seats.
How to stay updated
The notice repeatedly advises candidates to 'regularly visit the MCC website for further updates and announcements.' This is not optional — you must check mcc.nic.in at least once every day until your assessment is complete. The MCC may post centre assignments, schedule changes, or additional instructions without sending individual emails or SMS.
You can also contact the MCC directly at adgme@nic.in if you have questions or concerns about your assessment. However, do not rely on email for urgent matters — check the website first, as it is updated more frequently.
- Visit mcc.nic.in daily for updates
- Log in to your counselling portal to check your centre assignment
- Email adgme@nic.in only for specific issues or clarifications
- Do not wait for SMS or email — proactively check the website

The notice does not explicitly state this. The Appellate Board is described as conducting assessment for candidates who 'report up to 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026,' but it is unclear whether this includes candidates who missed the Primary Board deadline or only those appealing a Primary Board result. Contact the MCC at adgme@nic.in for clarification.

What if my disability certificate is rejected during assessment?
The notice does not address this scenario. If your certificate is rejected, your PwD status will not be verified, and you may be ineligible for PwD seats. Ensure your certificate is valid, issued by a competent authority, and not expired before you attend the assessment. If you have concerns, contact the MCC at adgme@nic.in before the assessment date.
If you applied under the PwD category, your next step is to check the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) immediately for your assessment centre assignment and reporting time. Log in to your counselling portal using your NEET roll number and password. Mark the deadline on your calendar — Primary Board candidates must report by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026, and Appellate Board candidates by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026. Gather your original disability certificate, NEET admit card, and valid photo ID, and plan to arrive at your centre at least 15–30 minutes early. Check the MCC website daily for any updates or schedule changes. Do not miss this deadline — it will disqualify you from Round 2 allotment.
