The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) released the first-round seat allotment results for NEET PG 2026 on October 23, placing 28,728 candidates across MD and MS programmes in government and private medical colleges under the All India Quota (AIQ). This is a critical milestone in the PG admission calendar: allotted doctors now have a narrow window to report to their assigned colleges, complete document verification, and secure their seats. Understanding the reporting timeline, required documents, and next steps is essential to avoid forfeiting your allotment.
If you received a seat in MCC NEET PG round 1, you must report to your college between October 26 and November 2; failure to do so will result in seat cancellation and move to the next candidate.

Unlock My College ListWhat Happened: Round 1 Allotment Released
On October 23, 2026, MCC announced the results of the first counselling round for NEET PG 2026. A total of 28,728 candidates were allotted seats across MD and MS specialities in government and private medical colleges participating in the AIQ system. The allotment was based on each candidate's NEET PG rank, category, applicable reservations, seat availability in chosen colleges and branches, and the order of preferences submitted during counselling registration.
The result PDF is available on the official MCC portal at mcc.nic.in. Candidates can search for their name in the PDF using the browser's find function (Ctrl+F) to locate their allotted college, speciality, and seat category. This round covers 50% of all MD and MS seats in government medical colleges and participating private institutions; the remaining 50% are managed by individual state authorities through separate state-quota counselling.
Critical Reporting Timeline: October 26 to November 2
Allotted candidates must report to their assigned college between October 26 and November 2, 2026. This is a strict deadline. Reporting involves physically visiting the college, submitting original documents, and confirming your acceptance of the seat. Candidates who do not report within this window will forfeit their allotment, and the seat will be offered to the next eligible candidate in the merit list.
On November 3, MCC will conduct data verification for all candidates who have reported. This verification confirms that your documents are in order and that you meet all eligibility criteria. Plan your travel and document collection well in advance to avoid missing the deadline, especially if your allotted college is in a different city.
Documents You Must Carry for Reporting and Verification
MCC has specified a mandatory list of documents that you must bring during the reporting and verification process. Incomplete documentation can delay your verification or, in some cases, lead to seat cancellation. Ensure you have originals and photocopies of all items listed below.
Prepare these documents well before your reporting date. If any document is missing or damaged, contact your medical college or the issuing authority immediately to obtain a replacement or certified copy. Do not assume that a missing document can be submitted later; most colleges will not allow provisional admission without complete documentation.

What Determines Your Allotment: Rank, Category, and Choices
Your seat allotment is determined by a transparent algorithm that considers multiple factors in a defined order. Understanding this process helps you interpret your result and plan for future rounds if needed. The primary factors are your NEET PG rank, your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, or EWS), applicable reservations (such as PWD or state domicile), the availability of seats in your chosen colleges and specialities, and the order in which you ranked your preferences during counselling registration.
If you did not receive a seat in round 1, it does not mean you will not get one in later rounds. MCC conducts up to four rounds of counselling, plus a stray vacancy round if seats remain unfilled. Your chances may improve in subsequent rounds as candidates who accepted seats in earlier rounds either join or forfeit, creating vacancies. Additionally, state-quota counselling may offer seats in your home state or other states depending on your eligibility and preferences.
MCC Counselling Structure: AIQ vs. State Quota
It is important to understand that MCC's round 1 allotment covers only the All India Quota (AIQ) seats, which represent 50% of MD and MS positions in government medical colleges and some private institutions. The remaining 50% of seats are allocated as state quota and are managed by individual state medical authorities. This means that even if you did not receive an AIQ seat, you may still be eligible for a state-quota seat through your state's separate counselling process.
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
State-quota counselling typically follows its own schedule and merit list. Check your state medical authority's website for announcements regarding state-quota counselling dates, merit lists, and reporting timelines. Some states conduct their counselling simultaneously with MCC rounds, while others may have different schedules. If you are allotted both an AIQ seat and a state-quota seat, you will need to choose one and forfeit the other.
What Happens After Reporting: Verification and Admission
After you report to your college and submit your documents, the college will conduct a preliminary check to ensure all required papers are present. On November 3, MCC will conduct formal data verification. During this process, your documents will be cross-checked against the information you provided in your NEET PG application and counselling registration. Any discrepancies or missing information can lead to rejection of your candidacy.
Once verification is complete and you are confirmed as eligible, you will be issued an admission letter and can begin the process of hostel allotment, fee payment, and course registration. Some colleges may require you to pay a portion of the first-semester fees during reporting itself. Clarify the fee payment schedule and hostel availability with your college before reporting.
If You Did Not Get a Seat: What Comes Next
If your name does not appear in the round 1 allotment list, do not lose hope. MCC conducts multiple rounds of counselling. In each subsequent round, seats vacated by candidates who did not report or who withdrew become available. Your chances of getting a seat typically improve in rounds 2, 3, and 4 as the merit list progresses and more seats open up. Additionally, a stray vacancy round is conducted at the end if any seats remain unfilled.
In the meantime, monitor your state's PG counselling process. Many states conduct their own merit-based counselling for state-quota seats, and you may be eligible for a seat there even if you have not been allotted an AIQ seat. Keep checking MCC's website and your state medical authority's portal for announcements regarding the next round's schedule, merit list release date, and reporting timeline.
Practical Checklist for Allotted Candidates
To ensure a smooth reporting and admission process, prepare a checklist and tick off each item as you complete it. This will help you avoid last-minute panic and document-related issues. Start preparing at least one week before your reporting date.
Organize your documents in a folder, make photocopies of each, and keep both originals and copies easily accessible. Inform your family and employer about your reporting dates and travel plans. If you are reporting to a college in another city, book your travel and accommodation in advance. Contact your allotted college's admission office if you have any questions about the reporting process or required documents.

Does MCC round 1 allotment cover all MD and MS seats in India?
No. MCC round 1 allotment covers only 50% of MD and MS seats in government medical colleges and participating private institutions under the All India Quota (AIQ) system. The remaining 50% are allocated as state quota and are managed by individual state medical authorities through separate state-quota counselling. Check your state's medical authority website for state-quota counselling details.
What if I did not get a seat in round 1?
If you were not allotted a seat in round 1, you remain eligible for subsequent rounds. MCC conducts up to four rounds of counselling, and seats vacated by candidates who do not report or withdraw become available in later rounds. Your chances typically improve in rounds 2, 3, and 4. Additionally, you may be eligible for a state-quota seat through your state's separate counselling process.
How is the seat allotment determined?
Seat allotment is based on your NEET PG rank, category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS), applicable reservations (PWD, state domicile, etc.), the availability of seats in your chosen colleges and specialities, and the order of your preferences during counselling registration. The algorithm processes candidates in merit order and assigns seats based on availability and preference order.
What is the difference between AIQ and state-quota seats?
AIQ (All India Quota) seats are managed by MCC and are available to candidates from any state. State-quota seats are managed by individual state medical authorities and are typically reserved for candidates domiciled in that state or meeting specific state eligibility criteria. MCC conducts AIQ counselling; states conduct their own state-quota counselling with separate merit lists and schedules.
When will the next round of NEET PG counselling be conducted?
MCC typically conducts round 2 counselling a few weeks after round 1 reporting and verification are complete. The exact dates for round 2 will be announced on the MCC website. Keep checking mcc.nic.in for updates on the round 2 schedule, merit list release date, and reporting timeline.
If you received a seat in round 1, prioritize collecting your documents and planning your travel to report by November 2. If you did not get a seat, monitor MCC's website for round 2 announcements and simultaneously check your state's PG counselling portal for state-quota opportunities. Stay calm and organized—multiple rounds and state counselling mean more chances ahead.
