What the counselling covers

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts NEET PG counselling for admission to 50% All India Quota (AIQ) postgraduate medical seats. The same schedule also covers 100% of seats in deemed and central universities and the AFMS.

• Registration fee payment: until October 21, 2026 (3 PM)

• Round 1 seat allotment result: October 24, 2026

How to register

Candidates should go to the MCC website, click on PG Medical Counselling, and open the new registration link for PG Counselling 2026 in the Candidate Activity Board section. They then sign in with their NEET PG roll number and password, fill in the counselling form, complete choice filling and pay the registration fee. 

Important points for candidates

• Registration is fully online.
• Fresh registration is required for each round of counselling. 
• Complete the fee payment before the 3 PM deadline, as registration is not complete without it.
• Do not leave registration to the final hours, because the portal may slow down near the deadline.
• Follow only the official MCC website for notices, schedule changes and result announcements.

After registration closes, candidates will move to choice filling and locking, followed by seat allotment and reporting to the allotted college. Candidates should keep checking mcc.nic.in for any revision to the schedule.
