Unlock My College ListWhen and Where to Report for MCC Round 3
The reporting window for MCC Round 3 allottees runs from October 1 to October 9, 2026. This is a nine-day window during which you must physically visit your allotted college, submit your documents, and complete the admission process. The final date is October 9—do not assume you can report on October 10 or later.
Reporting means attending your college in person, undergoing document verification, and formally confirming your admission. Colleges will verify your original documents against their records and your MCC allotment letter. This is not a process you can complete online or by proxy; you must be present.
What Documents You Must Carry to Your College
Colleges conducting verification will ask for both original documents and photocopies. Bring originals so the college can verify them against your application; photocopies are for the college's records. Missing or incomplete documents can delay your admission or, in some cases, result in rejection of your allotment.
Beyond the standard list, check your allotment letter and your college's website for any additional documents they may require. Some colleges ask for a medical fitness certificate, proof of residence, or other institution-specific papers. Calling the college's admission office a day before you visit is a smart precaution.

How Many Seats Were Allotted in Round 3
The MCC allotted a total of 4,687 MBBS and BDS seats in Round 3, including some BSc Nursing seats where applicable. These seats span the All India Quota (AIQ), central institutions, deemed universities, and other colleges under MCC's counselling authority. Additionally, 183 new MBBS and BDS seats were added during this round, increasing the overall pool.
If you received a fresh allotment (a seat you did not have in Round 2) or an upgraded seat (a better college or course than your Round 2 allotment), you are required to report. Candidates who retained their Round 2 seat without upgrade may have different instructions; check the MCC website or your allotment letter for clarity.
What Happens If You Miss the October 9 Deadline
Failing to report by October 9 will result in forfeiture of your seat. Under MCC counselling rules, non-reporting is treated as rejection of the allotment, and your seat will be cancelled. You will not be eligible to participate in further rounds of counselling for that particular seat.
However, if you do not report in Round 3, you may still be eligible for the Stray Vacancy Round, which is a final opportunity to secure a seat if vacancies remain after all regular rounds. The Stray Vacancy Round registration is scheduled for October 12 to 14, 2026, with allotment results on October 17. This is not guaranteed, so do not rely on it as a backup plan.
The Timeline After Reporting: What Comes Next
After you report on or before October 9, your college will conduct document verification, typically completing it by October 10. Once verified, your admission is confirmed, and you will receive further instructions about fee payment, hostel allotment (if applicable), and the start date of your course.
If you do not report but wish to try for remaining seats, the Stray Vacancy Round opens for registration on October 12. This round is for seats that remain vacant after Rounds 1, 2, and 3. Allotment results for the Stray Vacancy Round will be announced on October 17. After that, counselling typically concludes, and any remaining seats may be filled through college-specific spot counselling or management quota processes.

Why You Should Not Wait Until the Last Day
Although the deadline is October 9, waiting until the last day creates unnecessary risk. Colleges may experience high footfall on the final day, leading to delays in document verification. If there are any discrepancies in your documents or if the college needs clarification, you may not have time to resolve them before the deadline closes.
Reporting early—ideally within the first few days of the window (October 1 to 5)—gives you a buffer. If any issue arises, you have time to address it. Additionally, early reporting ensures you complete all formalities without rush, reducing the chance of errors or missing steps.
How to Find Your Allotted College and Verify Your Allotment
Your MCC Round 3 allotment result was released on September 30, 2026, on the official MCC counselling portal at mcc.nic.in. Log in with your NEET UG registration number and password to view your allotment letter, which will clearly state your allotted college, course (MBBS, BDS, or BSc Nursing), and the reporting instructions.
If you have not yet checked your allotment, do so immediately. Print or download your allotment letter and keep it safe. If you face any login issues or cannot find your allotment, contact the MCC helpline or visit the official website for support. Do not assume you were not allotted; verify directly on the portal.
Practical Checklist Before You Report
Create a checklist to ensure you do not forget anything on reporting day. Gather all original documents and make photocopies at least a day before. Check your college's website or call the admission office to confirm the reporting venue, timings, and any additional requirements. Some colleges may have specific reporting slots or online pre-registration; follow those instructions.
Plan your travel to the college, especially if it is in another city. Arrive with time to spare so you are not rushed. Bring a folder or envelope to keep documents organized. If you are a PwD candidate or have any special needs, inform the college in advance so they can make appropriate arrangements.

If you do not report by October 9, your seat will be cancelled, and you will forfeit the allotment. You will not be eligible for further rounds of counselling for that seat. However, you may be eligible for the Stray Vacancy Round (registration October 12–14) if seats remain vacant.
Can I report online, or do I have to visit the college in person?
You must report in person at your allotted college. Reporting involves document verification and completion of admission formalities, which require your physical presence. You cannot complete this process online or through a proxy.
When is the Stray Vacancy Round, and can I participate if I do not report in Round 3?

If you still cannot find it, contact the MCC helpline or visit the website for support. Do not assume you were not allotted without verifying directly.
Is it safe to report on the last day, October 9?
It is not advisable. Reporting early (October 1–5) gives you a buffer in case of document discrepancies or other issues. Last-day reporting can lead to delays due to high footfall, and you may not have time to resolve problems before the deadline closes. Report as early as possible within the window.
If you have received a Round 3 allotment, do not delay—report to your college between now and October 9, 2026, with all required documents. Missing this deadline will result in loss of your seat. After reporting, watch for college-specific instructions on fee payment and course start dates.
