The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the final seat allotment for NEET PG 2026 Round 1, covering 50 percent of all-India quota (AIQ) positions across government, deemed, and central universities. If you have been allotted a seat, you now have a narrow window—October 26 to November 2, 2026—to report to your college with original documents. Missing this deadline means losing your seat entirely, and you will not be treated as a free-exit candidate in Round 2. This is a critical moment for every allotted MBBS graduate: the steps you take in the next week will determine whether you secure your PG position or slip into the Round 2 vacancy pool.
Allotted candidates must report to their college between October 26 and November 2, 2026, with original documents; non-reporting forfeits the seat and disqualifies you from free-exit status in Round 2.

Unlock My College ListWhat MCC Released and When
On October 24, 2026, the MCC published the final allotment results for NEET PG Round 1 on its official portal (mcc.nic.in). This allotment covers seats in the 50 percent AIQ pool—the largest and most competitive segment of India's postgraduate medical seats. The allotment includes positions in government medical colleges, deemed universities, and central institutions across the country.
Candidates can access their allotment letter by logging into the MCC portal using their NEET PG roll number and password. The portal also displays category-wise and institute-wise allotment PDFs for reference, allowing you to see the full picture of seat distribution across specialties and colleges.
The Reporting Window: October 26 to November 2
The reporting period is just seven days—from October 26 to November 2, 2026. During this window, you must physically report to your allotted college with all original documents and self-attested photocopies. The institute will retain copies for its records and issue you a joining report upon successful verification.
This tight timeline is intentional: it ensures that seats are filled quickly and that the MCC can compile verified joining data by November 3 for the next round of counselling. If you are allotted a seat in a distant state or city, plan your travel immediately. Delays due to logistics, missing documents, or administrative confusion will not extend the deadline.
Documents You Must Carry to Report
Preparation is essential. The MCC requires you to bring both originals and self-attested photocopies of a specific set of documents. The allotted college will verify originals on the spot and retain the copies. Arriving without any of these documents will delay or prevent your joining.
The complete list includes your MCC Round 1 provisional allotment letter, NEET PG admit card and rank card, MBBS degree certificate and all professional year mark sheets, internship completion certificate, permanent or provisional NMC (National Medical Commission) or State Medical Council registration, Class 10 and Class 12 certificates (for date of birth proof), valid category certificate if applicable (SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, or PwBD), government photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport), and eight recent passport-size photographs.

What Happens If You Don't Report by November 2
Non-reporting has serious consequences. If you do not report within the deadline, your allotted seat is forfeited immediately. That seat is then added to the Round 2 vacancy pool, and you lose the opportunity to join that college and specialty in Round 1.
Critically, you will not be treated as a 'free-exit' candidate in Round 2. This means that if you participate in Round 2 counselling and are allotted a seat, you will be bound by that allotment and cannot withdraw without penalty. In contrast, candidates who report in Round 1 and then choose not to participate in Round 2 are typically free to exit without losing their Round 1 seat. By not reporting, you forfeit this flexibility and enter Round 2 as a fresh candidate with no safety net.
Why Round 1 Seats Matter More Than Round 2
The AIQ pool—which Round 1 covers—represents 50 percent of all PG medical seats in India. These are typically the most sought-after positions because they offer wider geographic choice and often better specialty and college options. Round 2 seats come from candidates who did not report in Round 1, so they are usually the leftovers: less popular specialties, colleges in less-preferred locations, or seats in institutions with lower cutoffs.
Securing a Round 1 seat gives you first pick of the national pool. Losing it and falling into Round 2 means competing for whatever remains. For this reason alone, reporting on time is not optional—it is the difference between getting your preferred specialty and college versus settling for what is left.
How to Download Your Allotment Letter
The process is straightforward but must be done immediately. Visit mcc.nic.in, click on the PG Medical Counselling link, and open the Round 1 Final Allotment Result tab. Enter your NEET PG roll number and password to log in. Your allotment details—college, course, and category—will appear on screen.
Download the allotment letter and print at least two copies: one to carry to the college and one to keep for your records. Do not delay this step. If the portal is slow or you encounter technical issues, try again during off-peak hours or contact the MCC helpline. Having the letter in hand before you travel is non-negotiable.

Key Dates and What Comes Next
The timeline is compressed. Round 1 allotment came out on October 24. Reporting runs from October 26 to November 2. On November 3, the MCC will verify all joined candidate data and compile the final list of who actually reported. This data feeds directly into Round 2 planning.
After November 3, the MCC will release the Round 2 seat matrix and counselling schedule. If you did not report in Round 1, you will be eligible for Round 2, but as noted, without free-exit status. Watch mcc.nic.in closely for Round 2 registration and vacancy updates. Do not assume you know when Round 2 will happen—the exact dates depend on how many candidates report in Round 1.

Practical Action Plan for the Next 7 Days
Do not procrastinate. Today, download your allotment letter from mcc.nic.in and verify that your name, roll number, allotted college, and specialty are correct. If there is an error, contact the MCC immediately—do not assume it will be corrected later. Simultaneously, gather all original documents and begin making self-attested photocopies. Organize them in a file in the order listed by the MCC.
Next, contact your allotted college to confirm the exact reporting location, time, and any additional instructions. Ask about the admission fee amount and payment method. Arrange travel and accommodation if the college is in another city. Aim to arrive at least one day before the deadline to avoid last-minute travel mishaps. On the day of reporting, carry all documents, the allotment letter, and the admission fee. Complete document verification, collect your joining report, and ensure you receive written confirmation of your admission.

What to Watch for Round 2 and Beyond
After you report and the November 3 verification is complete, the MCC will announce the Round 2 seat matrix. This will show how many seats remain unfilled across colleges and specialties. If you are interested in Round 2 (for example, if you want to try for a better college or specialty), register when the portal opens. Remember: you will not have free-exit status, so choose carefully.
Some candidates may also be eligible for state-quota counselling or deemed-university counselling depending on their category and preferences. These run on parallel timelines and may offer additional opportunities. Stay informed by checking the MCC website and your state medical authority's portal regularly.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What is the last date to report for NEET PG 2026 Round 1 allotment?
The last date to report is November 2, 2026. Reporting began on October 26, 2026. You must physically report to your allotted college with original documents and self-attested photocopies within this seven-day window. After November 2, your seat will be forfeited.
What happens if I don't report by November 2?
If you do not report, your allotted seat is forfeited and added to the Round 2 vacancy pool. You will lose the opportunity to join that college and specialty in Round 1. Additionally, you will not be treated as a free-exit candidate in Round 2, meaning if you are allotted a seat in Round 2, you must accept it and cannot withdraw without penalty.
How do I download my NEET PG 2026 Round 1 allotment letter?
Visit mcc.nic.in, click on the PG Medical Counselling link, and open the Round 1 Final Allotment Result tab. Log in with your NEET PG roll number and password. Your allotment details will appear on screen. Download and print the allotment letter. Keep at least two copies—one for the college and one for your records.
What documents do I need to carry when reporting to my allotted college?
You must carry originals and self-attested photocopies of: MCC allotment letter, NEET PG admit card and rank card, MBBS degree certificate and all professional year mark sheets, internship completion certificate, NMC or State Medical Council registration, Class 10 and 12 certificates, valid category certificate (if applicable), government photo ID, and eight passport-size photographs. The college will verify originals and retain copies.
What is the difference between Round 1 and Round 2 in NEET PG counselling?
Round 1 covers 50 percent of all-India quota (AIQ) seats and offers the widest choice of specialties and colleges. Round 2 seats come from candidates who did not report in Round 1, so they are typically less popular options. Additionally, if you report in Round 1, you have free-exit status in Round 2 (you can choose not to participate without losing your Round 1 seat). If you don't report in Round 1 and participate in Round 2, you will not have free-exit status and must accept any allotment you receive.
When will the NEET PG 2026 Round 2 schedule be announced?
The MCC will verify joined candidate data on November 3, 2026, and then release the Round 2 seat matrix and counselling schedule. The exact dates for Round 2 registration and allotment depend on how many candidates report in Round 1. Monitor mcc.nic.in regularly for updates.
Can I report to my allotted college after November 2?
No. The reporting deadline is strictly November 2, 2026. After this date, your seat will be forfeited. There is no extension or grace period. If you have a genuine emergency, contact the MCC immediately, but do not rely on an exception being granted.
What is the AIQ (All India Quota) and why does it matter?
The AIQ represents 50 percent of all postgraduate medical seats in India and is allocated through the national NEET PG counselling process. These seats are distributed across government, deemed, and central universities nationwide. The AIQ pool offers the widest geographic and specialty choice, making Round 1 (which covers AIQ seats) the most competitive and desirable round. The other 50 percent of seats are filled through state-quota counselling.
If you have been allotted a seat in NEET PG 2026 Round 1, treat the next seven days as your most critical window. Download your allotment letter today, gather all documents, and plan your travel to report by November 2. Missing this deadline will cost you your seat and your free-exit status in Round 2. Act now.
