The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has activated the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) portal for Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling. All candidates applying under the PwD category must now complete their mandatory medical assessment at designated Primary Medical Assessment Boards or appeal to the Appellate Medical Assessment Board within strict deadlines. This is a critical step in the counselling process — without a completed medical assessment, your seat allotment cannot proceed. The notice sets out exact reporting times and completion deadlines that you must follow precisely.
PwD candidates must report for medical assessment by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 (completion by 6 PM on 06/09/2026) or appeal by 12 PM on 08/09/2026, or risk losing their counselling slot.
What is this notice about?
This is an official announcement from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the body that conducts NEET UG counselling across India. It informs all candidates who have applied under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category that the PwD portal for Round 2 of UG Counselling 2026 is now live and active.
The notice announces the schedule and process for mandatory medical assessment — a fitness check that all PwD candidates must complete before they can be allotted a seat. The assessment is conducted by two boards: the Primary Medical Assessment Board (for first-time assessments) and the Appellate Medical Assessment Board (for candidates who wish to appeal or seek a second opinion). Without this assessment, your counselling cannot proceed.
Who must complete this medical assessment?
All candidates who have applied for NEET UG 2026 counselling under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category must complete this medical assessment. This includes candidates with any recognized disability — physical, sensory, or otherwise — who have claimed the PwD quota or category during their NEET application or counselling registration.
If you have registered under the PwD category in the MCC portal, you are required to undergo this assessment. It is not optional. Failure to complete it within the prescribed deadlines will result in your candidature being cancelled or your seat being forfeited.
Important dates and deadlines
The notice sets out two separate assessment windows. The first is for the Primary Medical Assessment Board, and the second is for the Appellate Medical Assessment Board. Both have strict reporting and completion deadlines that you must adhere to.
Missing either deadline will mean you cannot proceed in that round of counselling. There is no extension or grace period mentioned in the notice. Plan your travel and reporting time carefully.

How to access the PwD portal and find your assessment centre
The PwD portal is now active on the MCC website. You must log in using your NEET registration credentials (your application number and password) to access the portal. Once logged in, you will be able to see your assigned assessment centre, your reporting time slot, and other instructions specific to your case.
The notice does not provide the exact URL or step-by-step login instructions in this document, but it directs you to visit the MCC website regularly for updates. Go to the official MCC website (mcc.nic.in or the portal link provided in your counselling registration email) and look for the PwD portal link for Round 2. If you have forgotten your login credentials, use the 'Forgot Password' option on the portal.
- Log in to the MCC PwD portal using your NEET application number and password
- Check your assigned Primary Medical Assessment Centre location
- Note your exact reporting time slot (must be before 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026)
- Download and print any required documents or admit card if provided
- Bookmark the MCC website for regular updates and announcements
What happens at the Primary Medical Assessment Board?
The Primary Medical Assessment Board is where your medical fitness for your claimed disability category is formally verified. A panel of medical professionals will examine you, review your disability certificate and medical records, and determine whether your disability is genuine and whether it falls within the recognized categories for the PwD quota.
This is not a treatment appointment — it is an assessment to confirm that you meet the criteria for PwD category counselling. The assessment must be completed by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026. Once the assessment is done, the board will generate your assessment details online on the MCC portal. You must check the portal to confirm that your assessment has been recorded.
- Bring your original disability certificate issued by the competent authority
- Bring any relevant medical reports or test results that support your disability claim
- Bring a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence)
- Arrive well before 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 to allow time for registration and queuing
- Check the MCC portal after 06/09/2026 to confirm your assessment details have been generated
What is the Appellate Medical Assessment Board and when should you use it?
The Appellate Medical Assessment Board is a second-level assessment body. If you disagree with the outcome of your Primary Medical Assessment, or if you believe your disability was not properly evaluated, you can appeal to this board. You must report to the Appellate Board by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026.
This is your chance to present your case again or provide additional medical evidence. However, the notice does not specify the exact process for filing an appeal, the documents you need to submit, or the grounds on which an appeal will be accepted. You must check the MCC website or contact MCC directly (email: adgme@nic.in) for detailed appeal procedures before the deadline.
- Use this option only if you wish to challenge or appeal your Primary Assessment outcome
- Report by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 — this is a hard deadline
- Bring your original disability certificate and any additional medical evidence
- Check the MCC website for the exact appeal filing procedure and required documents
- Contact MCC at adgme@nic.in if you are unsure whether you are eligible to appeal
Critical trap: Assessment details must be generated online on the MCC portal
The notice emphasizes that 'assessment details are generated online on MCC portal.' This means that simply attending the assessment is not enough — the assessment board must formally record and upload your assessment outcome to the MCC portal. If this does not happen, your assessment will not be recognized by the counselling system, and you will not be able to proceed to seat allotment.
After your assessment is completed, log back into the MCC portal within 24 hours and check that your assessment status has been updated. If it still shows 'pending' or 'not assessed' after the completion deadline, contact the assessment centre or MCC immediately. Do not assume your assessment was recorded just because you attended.
- ⚠️ Attending the assessment centre is not enough — the board must upload your details to the MCC portal
- ⚠️ Check the portal 24 hours after your assessment to confirm your status has been updated
- ⚠️ If your status is still 'pending' after the deadline, contact MCC or the assessment centre immediately
- ⚠️ Without online confirmation, you will not be eligible for seat allotment in this round
What documents do you need to bring?
The notice does not provide a detailed list of documents required for the medical assessment. However, based on standard PwD assessment procedures, you should bring the following. Always check the MCC website or your assessment centre's instructions for the complete list, as requirements may vary.
Your disability certificate is the most critical document. It must be issued by a competent authority (usually a government medical board or civil surgeon) and must clearly state your disability type and percentage. Without this, your assessment cannot proceed.
- Original disability certificate issued by a competent authority (government medical board or civil surgeon)
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, or PAN card)
- NEET admit card or registration confirmation from MCC
- Any relevant medical reports, test results, or specialist letters that support your disability claim
- A copy of your NEET application form (if available)
- Contact details and emergency contact number
What if you miss the reporting deadline?
The notice does not explicitly state what happens if you miss the reporting deadline. However, in standard counselling procedures, if you do not report by the specified time, you are marked as 'absent' and your candidature for that assessment window is closed. You would then have no opportunity to complete the assessment in that round.
If you miss the Primary Assessment deadline (10:30 AM on 05/09/2026), your only option is to report to the Appellate Board by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026. If you miss both deadlines, you will not be able to proceed in Round 2 and may lose your seat. There is no mention of any extension or make-up assessment in this notice.
- ⚠️ Missing the reporting deadline means you are marked absent and cannot proceed in that window
- ⚠️ If you miss Primary Assessment (10:30 AM on 05/09/2026), you can only appeal to the Appellate Board by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026
- ⚠️ If you miss both deadlines, you will not be assessed and will lose your counselling slot
- ⚠️ No extension or make-up assessment is mentioned in the notice

What happens after your medical assessment is complete?
The notice does not detail what happens after the assessment is complete. However, in standard NEET UG counselling, once your medical assessment is recorded on the MCC portal, you become eligible for seat allotment in the next phase of Round 2. The MCC will then prepare a merit list and allot seats based on your rank, category, and preferences.
The exact date of seat allotment and the next steps will be announced separately by the MCC. Keep checking the MCC website and your registered email for the allotment result and further instructions.

What happens if I miss both the Primary Assessment deadline and the Appellate Board deadline?
If you miss both deadlines, you will not be assessed and will not be eligible for seat allotment in Round 2. Your counselling slot will be forfeited. The notice does not mention any extension or make-up assessment, so it is critical that you meet at least one of the deadlines.

What if I have a genuine emergency and cannot report on the scheduled date?
The notice does not mention any provision for emergencies or rescheduling. The deadlines are strict. If you have a serious emergency, contact the MCC immediately at adgme@nic.in with supporting documents and request an exception. However, there is no guarantee that an extension will be granted, so do not rely on this.
When will the seat allotment result be announced after the assessment is complete?
The notice does not specify the date of seat allotment. It only states that the assessment must be completed by the given deadlines and that assessment details must be generated online on the MCC portal. The allotment schedule will be announced separately by the MCC. Check the MCC website regularly for the allotment result announcement.
