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 a mandatory medical assessment conducted by either the Primary Medical Assessment Board or the Appellate Medical Assessment Board, depending on when they report. This assessment is a critical step in the counselling process — without it, your medical assessment details will not be generated on the MCC portal, and your seat allotment may be at risk. The notice sets strict reporting deadlines and completion timelines that you must follow precisely.
PwD candidates must report for medical assessment by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 (Primary Board) or by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 (Appellate Board), with all assessments completed by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026 for the Primary Board.
What is this notice about?
This is an official announcement from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the body that conducts all-India counselling for NEET UG MBBS and BDS seats. The notice informs all candidates who have applied under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category that they must now undergo a mandatory medical assessment as part of Round 2 of counselling.
The medical assessment is a formal evaluation by a government-appointed medical board to verify that your disability claim is genuine and to assess the nature and extent of your disability. This assessment is required for all PwD candidates before they can be allotted a seat. Without completing this assessment and having your details generated on the MCC portal, your candidature in the PwD category may not proceed.
Who must complete this medical assessment?
Every candidate who has applied under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category in Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling must complete this medical assessment. This includes candidates with any recognized disability — physical, sensory, or mental — who have submitted a valid disability certificate and chosen the PwD category during counselling registration.
If you applied under the PwD category, you are required to report for assessment. There is no exemption. Even if you have a valid disability certificate from a government hospital, you must still undergo this assessment as part of the counselling process.
Important dates and reporting deadlines
The notice specifies two separate assessment boards with different reporting deadlines. You must choose one and report within the stipulated time — missing your deadline means you will not be assessed in this round.
The Primary Medical Assessment Board will assess candidates who report by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 (5 September 2026). All assessments by this board must be completed by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026 (6 September 2026). If you miss the 10:30 AM deadline on 05/09/2026, you cannot report to the Primary Board.
The Appellate Medical Assessment Board will assess candidates who report by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 (8 September 2026). This is a second opportunity for candidates who could not report to the Primary Board. However, the notice does not specify a completion deadline for the Appellate Board, so you should assume it will also be strict.
- Primary Board reporting deadline: 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026
- Primary Board assessment completion: 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026
- Appellate Board reporting deadline: 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026
- Notice posted: 02/09/2026
| Assessment Board | Report by (Date & Time) | Assessment Completion by |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Medical Assessment Board | 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 | 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026 |
| Appellate Medical Assessment Board | 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 | Not specified in notice |
Where do you report for assessment?
The notice mentions 'Primary Medical Assessment Centre' but does not specify the exact location or list of centres in this document. The notice advises you to 'visit the Primary Medical Assessment Centre within the stipulated time as per the revised schedule of Round-2.'
You must check the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) for the complete list of assessment centres, their addresses, and which centre you have been assigned to. The centre location may depend on your state or region. Do not assume — verify the exact centre address before you travel.
- Check MCC website for the list of Primary Medical Assessment Centres
- Confirm your assigned centre before the reporting date
- Arrive well before the deadline to account for travel time
What happens during the medical assessment?
The Primary Medical Assessment Board will conduct a formal medical examination to verify your disability. The board will review your disability certificate, examine you, and assess the nature, extent, and permanence of your disability. Based on this assessment, the board will generate your assessment details and upload them to the MCC portal.
The Appellate Medical Assessment Board is for candidates who wish to appeal or re-assess their disability status. If you are not satisfied with the Primary Board's assessment, or if you could not report to the Primary Board, you can report to the Appellate Board by the deadline.
In both cases, the assessment details must be generated online on the MCC portal. This is critical — without these details on the portal, your seat allotment process cannot proceed. You will receive a confirmation or reference number after your assessment is complete.
- Bring your original disability certificate and a photocopy
- Bring your NEET admit card and a valid photo ID
- Arrive 15–30 minutes before your reporting time
- Assessment details will be generated online on MCC portal after completion
Critical trap: Missing the reporting deadline
⚠️ **This is the most common reason PwD candidates lose their seats.** The reporting deadlines are strict and non-negotiable. If you report even one minute after 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 to the Primary Board, you will not be assessed by that board. You will then have to report to the Appellate Board by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 or lose your PwD category eligibility entirely.
The notice explicitly states: 'Candidates are advised to visit the Primary Medical Assessment Centre within the stipulated time as per the revised schedule of Round-2.' This means you must plan to arrive at the centre well before the deadline. Do not rely on the exact deadline time — arrive at least 30 minutes early.
If you miss both deadlines (Primary and Appellate), you will not be assessed, your assessment details will not be generated on the MCC portal, and you may lose your PwD category seat allotment. There is no third chance or extension mentioned in this notice.
- Primary Board: Report by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026 — no exceptions
- Appellate Board: Report by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026 — no exceptions
- Arrive 30 minutes early to avoid missing the deadline
- Missing both deadlines = loss of PwD category eligibility
What documents do you need to bring?
The notice does not explicitly list the documents required for the assessment. However, based on standard MCC procedures for PwD assessment, you will need your disability certificate and proof of identity. Check the MCC website or contact the assessment centre directly to confirm the exact list of documents required.
At minimum, bring: (1) Original disability certificate issued by a government hospital or authorized medical board, (2) Photocopy of the disability certificate, (3) NEET UG 2026 admit card, (4) Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence), and (5) Any other documents mentioned on the MCC website for your state or region.
- Original disability certificate (government-issued)
- Photocopy of disability certificate
- NEET UG 2026 admit card
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence)
- Check MCC website for state-specific requirements
How to access the PwD portal and check updates
The notice states that 'the PwD portal for Round-2 of UG Counselling 2026 is now active.' This means you can now log in to the MCC portal using your NEET registration number and password to access PwD-specific information and updates.
The notice advises: 'Candidates are also advised to regularly visit the MCC website for further updates and announcements.' This is important because the MCC may post additional instructions, centre locations, or schedule changes on its website. Check the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) daily from now until your assessment is complete.
You can also contact the MCC office at adgme@nic.in if you have questions or need clarification on the assessment process.
- Log in to MCC portal with your NEET registration number and password
- Visit mcc.nic.in daily for updates and centre locations
- Contact adgme@nic.in for queries
- Check your email and the portal for any schedule changes or additional notices
What happens after your assessment is complete?
Once your medical assessment is completed by the board, your assessment details will be generated and uploaded to the MCC portal. You will receive a confirmation or reference number. This is proof that you have completed the mandatory assessment.
After all PwD candidates have been assessed, the MCC will proceed with the seat allotment process for Round 2. Your assessment details will be used to verify your PwD category eligibility before your seat is allotted. Without this assessment, you cannot be allotted a seat under the PwD category.
Keep your assessment confirmation number safe. You may need it for future reference or if there are any disputes regarding your allotment.
- Assessment details will be generated online on MCC portal
- You will receive a confirmation or reference number
- Save this number for your records
- Proceed to seat allotment after assessment is complete
What if you cannot report on the scheduled date?
The notice does not mention any provision for postponement, rescheduling, or exemption from the assessment. The deadlines are fixed: Primary Board by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026, and Appellate Board by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026.
If you have a genuine emergency (serious illness, accident, or death in the family) that prevents you from reporting, you must contact the MCC office immediately at adgme@nic.in with supporting documents. However, the notice does not guarantee that an extension will be granted. It is safer to assume that you must report within the deadline.
If you cannot report to the Primary Board, you have one more chance: the Appellate Board on 08/09/2026. Plan to report to one of these boards no matter what.
- No postponement or exemption mentioned in the notice
- Contact MCC at adgme@nic.in immediately if you have a genuine emergency
- You have two chances: Primary Board (05/09) and Appellate Board (08/09)
- Do not miss both deadlines
Key differences between Primary and Appellate Boards
The Primary Medical Assessment Board is the first and main assessment board. If you are able to report by 10:30 AM on 05/09/2026, you should report to this board. Your assessment will be completed by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026.
The Appellate Medical Assessment Board is a second opportunity for candidates who either (1) could not report to the Primary Board, or (2) wish to appeal or re-assess their disability status after the Primary Board's decision. The deadline to report to the Appellate Board is 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026.
Both boards will generate your assessment details on the MCC portal. The key difference is timing: the Primary Board has a fixed completion deadline (6:00 PM on 06/09/2026), while the Appellate Board's completion deadline is not specified in this notice. Report to the Primary Board if possible to avoid any delays.
- Primary Board: First assessment, completion by 6:00 PM on 06/09/2026
- Appellate Board: Second chance or appeal, report by 12:00 Noon on 08/09/2026
- Both generate assessment details on MCC portal
- Report to Primary Board if you can meet the deadline
