The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the provisional seat allotment result for NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 and revised the counselling schedule. According to the updated notice released on August 20 on mcc.nic.in, candidates must now report to their allotted colleges between August 22 and August 31, 2026. The revised bulletin also corrects the earlier reporting dates, giving students a clear and confirmed timeline for the admission process.

What This Means for Students
If your name appears in the provisional list, MCC has tentatively matched you to a seat based on your NEET UG rank, category and the choices you filled — but this is not the final word. A provisional result is typically followed by a short window where MCC processes any corrections before confirming allotments, so candidates should treat this release as a status check rather than a confirmed admission.
Because MCC revised the bulletin on August 20, some of the dates circulated earlier this week no longer apply. Candidates relying on last week’s schedule should discard those dates and go by the fresh bulletin now live on the official site.
Steps to Check the NEET UG Counselling Result
- Go to the official MCC website, mcc.nic.in.
- Click on the UG Medical Counselling section and look for the Round 1 result or seat allotment link.
- Log in using your NEET roll number and application details.
- Download and save the allotment letter, since you will need to carry a printed copy while reporting to the college.
Reporting and Document Verification
Candidates confirmed in the allotment must report to their allotted institute between August 22 and August 31, 2026, to complete document verification and admission formalities. MCC has directed that Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays be treated as working days for this counselling cycle, so the deadline will not shift for weekends.
Institutes will carry out data verification of joined candidates on September 1, 2026. Candidates opting to “float” their seat while hoping for an upgrade in a later round can complete the required formalities online, without physically reporting or paying admission fees again, as long as they meet MCC’s deadlines.
Eligibility and Categories Covered
Round 1 counselling through MCC applies to the 15% All India Quota seats, seats in central universities such as AMU, BHU, and Delhi University, ESIC and AFMC seats, and deemed university seats for MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH courses. State quota seats run on a separate timeline set by each state’s counselling authority — Round 1 state counselling has been extended to August 27, 2026, but candidates must confirm their own state’s dates rather than assume MCC’s calendar applies.
