The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued Notice No-26 about candidates who did not physically report to their allotted colleges after Round 3. The notice is dated October 11, 2026. MCC has made available a list of such candidates and said they cannot claim their seats now, because the reporting time ended on October 9, 2026.

  • Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 3
• As per the counselling bulletin, these candidates had to join the allotted college physically.
• The candidates on the list did not report physically to the allotted college.
• The reporting time under the schedule ended on October 9, 2026, so these candidates can no longer claim the seats.

Why physical reporting matters

The MCC counselling bulletin requires candidates who are retained under the float option, or who get a fresh seat in a round, to report to the allotted college in person. This applies to candidates who choose to stay with a retained seat, since the seat is kept only if the candidate joins the college. Candidates who miss the physical reporting window lose the right to the seat.

What candidates should do

• Check the list published with the notice on mcc.nic.in to see whether your name appears.
• Read the MCC counselling bulletin for the rules on reporting, float option and seat forfeiture.
• Follow the official website for further notices and counselling updates.
• Keep in touch with your state counselling authority if you are also taking part in state counselling.
