What is MCC NEET UG 2026 Counselling?
MCC NEET UG 2026 Counselling is the centralised, merit-based seat allotment process administered by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). It governs MBBS and BDS admissions across three main categories:

- 100% seats in central universities including AIIMS institutions and JIPMER, and all deemed universities

How to Register at mcc.nic.in: Step-by-Step Process
Follow all 10 steps below without skipping any. An error at registration can affect your entire MCC NEET UG 2026 Counselling process.
- Visit the official MCC portal: Open mcc.nic.in in a desktop or laptop browser. Do not use third-party websites for registration.
- Navigate to UG Medical Counselling: On the MCC homepage, click "UG Medical Counselling" from the counselling options listed.
- Click New Registration: Select the "Register" or "New Candidate Registration" button on the UG Counselling page.
- Enter your NEET UG 2026 credentials: Input your NEET roll number, date of birth, and the on-screen security PIN. The portal validates these against the NTA database automatically.
- Fill in personal and contact information: Enter your full name exactly as it appears on your NEET UG 2026 admit card, father’s name, permanent address, state, mobile number, and email ID.
- Choose your category and sub-category: Select your reservation category (General/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS/PwD) carefully — this determines the seat pools you are eligible for during choice filling.
- Upload scanned documents: Upload each document in the format and file size specified on the portal. Ensure all scans are clear, legible, and within the allowed dimensions.
- Pay the registration fee and security deposit: Complete payment via debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI on the payment gateway. Download and save the payment receipt immediately.
- Review your application thoroughly: On the final preview screen, verify every field — name spelling, date of birth, category, and contact details. Any mismatch will cause issues at the college reporting stage.
- Submit and save your registration slip: Click Submit to finalise your registration. Download and print the registration confirmation slip, which carries your MCC registration number required for all subsequent steps.
After registration, log back into mcc.nic.in during the Choice Filling window to add and lock college preferences. Choice filling is a separate and equally critical step — both must be completed within their respective deadlines.
