MCC UG NEET 2026 counselling choice locking window is now open, giving candidates the opportunity to review and lock their preferred colleges and courses before the deadline.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has opened the choice locking window for UG Medical Counselling 2026. The facility went live today, 17 August 2026, at 4:00 PM, giving registered candidates a fixed period to finalize their preference list on the official MCC portal.
What's New
Candidates who have already registered and filled their choices can now go a step further and lock their final order of colleges and courses. This action seals their preference list ahead of the seat allotment process.

Why It's Worth Taking Seriously
Once a candidate locks their choices, that exact sequence becomes the basis for MCC's seat allotment. There's no scope to reorder preferences after locking, which is why the counselling committee always recommends a careful, unhurried review before confirming.
Candidates who miss the locking window altogether won't lose their spot - but their last-saved list gets carried forward automatically, which may not reflect their most up-to-date preferences. That's a gap worth avoiding.
Before You Lock Your Choices
- Sign in to the MCC counselling dashboard
- Go through your saved preference list end to end
- Confirm the order genuinely reflects your priorities
- Lock your choices within the active window
- Keep an eye on the MCC portal for what comes next
