MCC has activated the PwD (Person with Disability) portal for Round 2 counselling medical assessment. Learn what this means for NEET-UG aspirants with disabilities seeking MBBS/BDS seats.

MedAdmit News Desk 4 Nov 2026 4 min read

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has opened its dedicated portal for candidates with disabilities (PwD) as part of Round 2 of NEET-UG counselling for 2026. This portal allows aspirants registered under the PwD category to complete their medical assessment — a mandatory step before seat allotment. If you have registered with a disability certificate and are participating in Round 2 counselling, understanding how and when to use this portal is essential to secure your MBBS or BDS seat.

Candidates with disabilities must use the MCC PwD portal during Round 2 to complete their medical assessment; failure to do so may affect seat allotment and admission.

What is the PwD Portal and Why Does It Matter?

The PwD portal is a dedicated online system managed by MCC specifically for candidates who have registered under the Person with Disability category during NEET-UG counselling. This portal streamlines the medical assessment process — a verification step that confirms the candidate's disability status and eligibility for reserved seats.

Medical assessment is not optional. It is a mandatory requirement for all PwD candidates before the final allotment of MBBS or BDS seats. Without completing this assessment, your candidature may be flagged, and you could lose your seat offer or face delays in admission.

How Does the Medical Assessment Process Work?

Once the portal is activated, eligible candidates receive a notification with login credentials and instructions. You will need to log in, upload required documents (typically your disability certificate, medical reports, and identity proof), and schedule an appointment for in-person or online medical verification, depending on MCC guidelines.

The assessment is conducted by a panel of medical professionals who verify that your disability meets the criteria for reserved-seat eligibility under the NEET-UG framework. This is a standard procedure and not a barrier — it simply ensures that reserved seats reach candidates who genuinely qualify.

Round 2 counselling follows a strict schedule. The activation of the PwD portal signals that MCC is ready to process medical assessments for this phase. Candidates must watch for official announcements from MCC regarding the exact dates by which assessments must be completed.

Missing the deadline can result in your candidature being cancelled for that round. It is advisable to complete your medical assessment as soon as the portal opens, rather than waiting until the last day, to avoid technical glitches or overwhelming server traffic.

Who Should Use This Portal?

This portal is exclusively for candidates who registered as PwD during the initial NEET-UG counselling registration and have been shortlisted for Round 2. If you did not register with a disability certificate or were not shortlisted, you will not have access to this portal.

Candidates with disabilities who are participating in the general (non-reserved) category do not need to use this portal. The portal is only for those claiming reserved-seat benefits under the PwD quota.

What Documents Will You Need?

Prepare your disability certificate issued by a competent authority (typically a government medical board), your NEET admit card, and a valid photo ID. Some states may also require recent medical reports or additional documentation depending on the nature of disability.

Check the MCC website or your counselling portal for the exact list of required documents before logging in. Having these ready will speed up the process and reduce the chance of rejection or delays.

What Happens After Medical Assessment?

Once your medical assessment is approved, you move into the seat-allotment phase of Round 2. Your name will be considered for MBBS or BDS seats reserved for PwD candidates, based on your NEET rank, category, and state eligibility.

If your assessment is rejected or flagged, MCC will notify you with the reason. You may have an opportunity to appeal or provide additional documentation. It is critical to respond promptly to any communication from MCC to avoid losing your seat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do not delay your medical assessment. Waiting until the last day increases the risk of missing the deadline or encountering technical issues. Do not submit incomplete or unclear documents — ensure all certificates and reports are legible and valid.

Do not ignore notifications from MCC. Check your registered email and phone number regularly for updates. If you receive a request for additional information, respond within the given timeframe. Ignoring MCC communications can result in automatic cancellation of your candidature.

How to Access the Portal

Visit the official MCC website (mcc.nic.in) and look for the link to the PwD portal. Log in using your NEET registration number and password. If you have forgotten your credentials, use the 'Forgot Password' option to reset them.

If you face technical issues accessing the portal, contact MCC's helpline or email support immediately. Do not assume the portal is down — it may be a browser or device issue. Try a different browser or device before concluding there is a problem.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PwD portal mandatory for all NEET-UG candidates?

No. The PwD portal is only for candidates who registered under the Person with Disability category during NEET-UG counselling and have been shortlisted for Round 2. General-category candidates do not use this portal.

What happens if I do not complete my medical assessment in Round 2?

If you do not complete your medical assessment by the deadline, your candidature for Round 2 may be cancelled, and you could lose your seat offer. You may be able to participate in subsequent rounds, but it is best to complete the assessment on time.

Can I appeal if my medical assessment is rejected?

Yes, typically MCC allows candidates to appeal or provide additional documentation if their assessment is rejected. However, you must respond within the timeframe specified in the rejection notice. Check the MCC website or your portal for the appeal process.

What documents do I need for the medical assessment?

You will need your disability certificate issued by a competent authority, NEET admit card, and a valid photo ID. Some states may require additional medical reports. Check the MCC website for the complete list before submitting.

How long does the medical assessment process take?

The timeline varies depending on the number of candidates and the assessment method (in-person or online). Typically, assessments are completed within 1–2 weeks of submission, but it is best to check MCC's official timeline for Round 2.

Can I change my disability category after registering?

No. Your disability category is locked once you register during counselling. If there is an error, contact MCC immediately with supporting documents to request a correction before the medical assessment deadline.

What if I registered as PwD but was not shortlisted for Round 2?

If you were not shortlisted for Round 2, you will not have access to the PwD portal for this round. You may be eligible for subsequent rounds depending on your rank and the number of available seats. Monitor MCC announcements for Round 3 or further rounds.

Is the medical assessment the same for all types of disabilities?

The assessment process is similar for all candidates, but the medical criteria and verification may vary depending on the type of disability (physical, visual, hearing, etc.). The assessment panel will evaluate your specific disability against the eligibility criteria.

If you are a PwD candidate in Round 2 counselling, log into the MCC portal as soon as the PwD portal is activated, gather your required documents, and complete your medical assessment without delay. Missing this step could jeopardize your MBBS or BDS seat. Stay alert to MCC notifications and respond promptly to any requests for additional information.
