The MCC has set a strict cutoff time of 11:30 AM on 24 October 2026. After this time, no new grievances will be accepted.
Filing a grievance does not mean you are rejecting your seat; it is a formal request to the MCC to review and correct any administrative or technical errors in your allotment. The committee will examine all grievances and issue a final allotment result after the deadline has passed.

Top Rankers' Allotment: General Medicine Dominates
Data from the 2026 allotment reveals interesting trends in speciality choices among high-ranking candidates. General Medicine (MD General Medicine) has emerged as the most popular choice among top performers, reflecting its broad scope, career flexibility, and strong academic foundation in clinical medicine.
Among the top 100 ranked candidates, 50 chose General Medicine in 2026, compared to 46 in 2025—a notable increase. This trend continues across broader rank bands: in the top 1,000, 390 candidates selected General Medicine in 2026 versus 373 in 2025. Even among the top 10,000 candidates, the preference for General Medicine grew from 1,181 in 2025 to 1,253 in 2026. This consistent upward trend suggests that high-performing doctors increasingly view General Medicine as a strategic and rewarding career choice.
| Rank Band | General Medicine Choices (2025) | General Medicine Choices (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Top 100 | 46 | 50 |
| Top 1,000 | 373 | 390 |
| Top 10,000 | 1,181 | 1,253 |
Understanding Freeze and Float Options
After the final allotment is announced, you will be required to make a critical decision: whether to 'Freeze' or 'Float' your seat. These two options have very different implications for your future in the counselling process, and understanding them is essential before you commit.
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
Choosing 'Freeze' means you are accepting your allotted seat unconditionally and committing to join that college and speciality. Once you freeze, you will proceed to the reporting and admission process at that institution. You will not be considered for any upgrades or changes in subsequent counselling rounds. Conversely, choosing 'Float' means you are keeping your seat but also allowing yourself to be considered for a potentially better seat in the next round of counselling, subject to the official rules and your eligibility. If a better option becomes available in a later round, you may be upgraded; if not, you retain your current seat.
- Freeze: Accept your seat and complete admission at the allotted college; no further upgrades possible
- Float: Keep your seat but remain eligible for upgrades in subsequent rounds if better options arise
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Freeze | Accept the allotted seat and proceed to admission; no consideration for upgrades in future rounds |
| Float | Retain the allotted seat while remaining eligible for potential upgrades in subsequent counselling rounds, as per official rules |
Important Reminders Before You Decide
Before you select Freeze or Float, carefully review all official MCC guidelines and counselling regulations. Pay close attention to reporting deadlines, document requirements, and any penalties or restrictions associated with your choice. Different states and institutions may have varying rules, so do not assume that your understanding from previous years or other sources is current.
Verify the exact date and time by which you must report to your allotted college if you choose Freeze. Confirm the list of documents you need to bring (such as your MBBS degree, score card, identity proof, and any other institution-specific requirements). Understand the consequences of not reporting on time or of withdrawing after freezing your seat, as these may include forfeiture of your seat or other penalties.
- Read the official MCC counselling regulations thoroughly
- Note the reporting deadline and venue for your allotted college
- Prepare all required documents in advance
- Understand the rules for seat withdrawal or resignation
- Check if there are any bond or service obligations tied to your seat
- Confirm the fee structure and payment deadlines
What If You Did Not Receive a Seat in Round 1?
If your name does not appear in the Round 1 provisional allotment list, do not lose hope. The NEET PG counselling process typically includes multiple rounds, and seats become available in subsequent rounds due to candidates freezing their seats, withdrawing, or not reporting. Your eligibility for Round 2 and beyond depends on the official counselling rules and your rank.
Check the MCC website for announcements regarding Round 2 counselling. You may be required to re-register, re-fill your choices, or simply wait for the next round to begin. The exact procedure will be communicated by the MCC through official notices. Ensure you stay updated with all MCC communications and do not miss any deadlines for subsequent rounds.
- Monitor mcc.nic.in for Round 2 and subsequent round announcements
- Check if re-registration is required for the next round
- Prepare an updated choice list based on your rank and preferences
- Ensure your contact details (email and phone) are current on the MCC portal
