The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is set to release Round 1 seat allotment results for NEET-PG 2026 on October 24, 2026. This is a critical milestone for MBBS doctors who have applied for MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across India's All India Quota (AIQ) and state-quota institutions. Alongside the national MCC process, individual states including Assam, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh are running their own counselling schedules with different timelines. Understanding these dates, the reporting process, and required documentation is essential to secure your postgraduate seat without missing deadlines.
MCC Round 1 seat allotment results release October 24 on mcc.nic.in; successful candidates must report to colleges between October 26 and November 2, with state counselling timelines varying significantly.

Critical Reporting Timeline: October 26 to November 2, 2026
If you receive a seat allotment in Round 1, you must report to your allotted college between October 26 and November 2, 2026. This is a strict deadline; failure to report within this window may result in forfeiture of your seat. During this period, you will submit original documents, undergo verification, and complete admission formalities.
Data verification for all candidates is scheduled for November 3, 2026. This means your documents must be verified and accepted before this date. Plan your travel and document collection accordingly, especially if your allotted college is in a different state.
Essential Documents Required for NEET-PG Reporting and Verification
When you report to your allotted college, you must carry original copies of all required documents. The MCC mandates submission of the following: your NEET-PG admit card, NEET-PG result scorecard, MBBS or BDS mark sheets from all professional examinations, your MBBS or BDS degree certificate, internship completion certificate, and your Medical Council of India (MCI) registration certificate.

Additionally, bring proof of date of birth (birth certificate or passport), a valid government-issued ID (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport), your caste certificate (if applicable), and a disability certificate (if you have availed of disability-based reservations). Organize these documents in the order specified by your college to expedite the verification process. Missing or incomplete documentation can delay your admission and may jeopardize your seat.

How MCC Seat Allotment Works: AIQ vs. State Quota
The MCC conducts counselling for 50% of All India Quota (AIQ) seats across government medical colleges and deemed universities. These seats are filled based on national merit and your preferences, regardless of your state of domicile. The remaining 50% of state-quota seats are managed by individual state authorities, which conduct their own separate counselling processes with their own timelines and eligibility criteria.
This dual system means that if you are allotted an AIQ seat through MCC, you will report to that college. However, if you are also eligible for state-quota counselling in your home state, you may participate in that process separately. Some candidates receive allotments in both processes; in such cases, you must choose one and forfeit the other.
State-Specific Counselling Schedules: Assam, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh
While MCC conducts national-level counselling, several states run their own parallel processes. Assam's NEET-PG counselling Round 1 runs from October 21 to 25, with choice filling from October 26 to 28. The provisional allotment list is released on November 1, with the final result on November 2. Candidates allotted seats in Assam must report between November 9 and 10.
Madhya Pradesh has published its merit list on October 23, with over 4,000 eligible seats for MD and MS admission. Choice filling and locking occur from October 24 to 27, and the seat allotment result is declared on October 29. College reporting and document verification run from October 30 to November 10. Uttar Pradesh's timeline differs: online registration and choice filling close on October 30, with seat allotment results announced on November 2.
If you are domiciled in or eligible for counselling in these states, check your state's official counselling portal (dme.assam.gov.in for Assam, dme.mponline.gov.in for MP) for state-specific updates. State counselling may offer different seat availability and fee structures compared to AIQ seats.

What Happens After Round 1: Subsequent Rounds and Stray Vacancy
Round 1 is the first of four counselling rounds conducted by the MCC for AIQ seats. If you do not receive an allotment in Round 1, or if you are waitlisted, you will have opportunities in Rounds 2 and 3. Additionally, a stray vacancy round is held to fill any seats that remain vacant after the main rounds. Each round follows a similar process: choice filling, allotment, and reporting.
If you are allotted a seat in Round 1 but wish to explore better options in subsequent rounds, you may resign from your current seat. However, resignation must be done within the specified window (typically during the online resignation period), and you will re-enter the merit pool for the next round. Plan this strategy carefully, as there is no guarantee of a better allotment in later rounds.
Practical Steps to Take Before October 24
Before the Round 1 results are announced, ensure that your NEET-PG admit card and result scorecard are accessible and that you have verified your rank and category. Double-check that you have submitted your college and course preferences correctly by the October 23 noon deadline. If you have not yet filled preferences, do so immediately.
Prepare all required documents in advance: obtain certified copies of your degree certificate, mark sheets, and internship completion certificate from your medical college. If you have not yet registered with the MCI, complete that process urgently, as the registration certificate is mandatory for reporting. Arrange travel and accommodation near your likely allotted college, especially if it is in a different state. Keep your phone and email active on October 24 to receive any official notifications from the MCC or your state counselling authority.
Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
One frequent mistake is missing the reporting deadline. Many candidates delay travel or document collection and arrive after November 2, only to find their seat cancelled. Mark the reporting dates on your calendar and plan to arrive at least one day early. Another pitfall is incomplete documentation: missing even one certificate can delay verification and put your admission at risk.
Some candidates are unaware that state counselling operates independently of MCC counselling. If you are eligible for both, you must actively participate in both processes and make a conscious choice between allotments. Failing to report to either process may result in losing both seats. Finally, do not assume that a waitlist position will convert to an allotment; prepare contingency plans and consider your options in subsequent rounds carefully.
