The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has temporarily suspended choice filling for Round 2 of NEET PG Counselling 2026. The suspension runs from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM on 13 November 2026. It was announced in Notice No. 9, dated 13.11.2026, issued by the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Why Choice Filling Was Suspended

The notice refers to Notice No. 7, dated 12.11.2026. That notice allowed time from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM to complete the admission and reporting process of Round 1 candidates of PG Counselling 2026. Some institutes had not yet reported these candidates on the portal.

Because of this, MCC has paused Round 2 choice filling during the same window. This will allow Round 1 candidates who have not yet been reported to have their online admission formalities completed on the portal by their institutes.

Key Points for Candidates

• Suspension window: 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM on 13.11.2026
• Course of action: Choice filling for Round 2 resumes after 2:00 PM on 13.11.2026.
• Editing choices: Candidates can fill or modify their choices again once choice filling resumes.
• Reason: To complete the admission and reporting of Round 1 candidates who have not yet been reported by their institutes on the portal.

MCC has said the step is being taken in view of the larger interest of candidates.

What Candidates Should Do

• Do not try to fill or edit choices during the suspension window. Wait for choice filling to reopen after 2:00 PM.
• Review your Round 2 choices once the window reopens, and lock them within the deadline set in the MCC schedule.
• Round 1 candidates should check with their institute that their admission has been reported on the portal.
• Visit the official MCC website, www.mcc.nic.in, regularly for further updates.
