Counselling process and next steps

After downloading the scorecard, candidates must register on the MCC portal by providing their NEET PG roll number, date of birth and security pin. During registration they can opt for All India Quota (AIQ) seats or State Quota seats based on their domicile. The counselling involves choice filling, seat allotment rounds, and reporting to the allotted college with original documents. Candidates who qualify for AIQ seats will also need to participate in the mop‑up round if seats remain vacant after the regular rounds. The MCC releases a detailed schedule, including dates for choice locking, mock allotment and final allotment, which is published on its website mcc.nic.in.

Any changes to the answer key or response sheet release will be posted as official notices, and candidates are advised not to rely on unverified posts on social media platforms.
