MCC Warns NEET UG 2026 Candidates Against Fake Cutoff Reduction Notice on Social Media; Check Now

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued an urgent public advisory. It targets candidates of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2026. The committee has warned students against a fake notice on social media. The fake notice claims a reduction in NEET UG 2026 qualifying cutoff. MCC has stated that no such reduction has been announced officially. Candidates must rely only on the official MCC portal at mcc.nic.in.

The advisory was released on October 13, 2026. It comes amid heavy chatter around NEET UG 2026 counselling. MCC conducts the all-India quota counselling for medical seats. The committee handles seats at AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU, and other central institutions. It also runs the deemed and central university quota rounds.

What Does the Fake Notice Claim?

The forged document is circulating widely on WhatsApp and Telegram groups. It is also being shared on Facebook, Instagram, and X platforms. The notice falsely states that MCC has lowered the qualifying percentile. It suggests more candidates will now become eligible for medical counselling.

MCC has flatly denied issuing any such document. The committee has called the circulating notice false and misleading. Officials have confirmed that cutoff percentiles remain unchanged. The qualifying criteria follow the NEET UG 2026 Information Bulletin by NTA.

Key Facts of the MCC Advisory

How to Verify an Authentic MCC Notice?

Students should check only the official MCC website for updates. Authentic notices appear under the News and Events section. MCC also releases alerts through official press briefings and NIC servers. Candidates should match the signature and letterhead on every notice.

Any document shared first on WhatsApp or Telegram is suspect. Official bodies never route critical updates through private social channels. A real MCC file carries a document ID and a date stamp. The URL always ends with the nic.in domain.

How to Report a Fake Notice?

MCC has urged candidates to flag such content immediately. Students can report fake notices on the National Cyber Crime Portal. The portal is accessible at cybercrime.gov.in. Candidates may also file an FIR at the nearest police station. Sharing fake MCC notices can attract legal action under the IT Act.

Past MCC Warnings Against Fake Documents

This is not the first advisory of its kind from MCC. The committee has repeatedly flagged fake documents in earlier counselling cycles. In previous years, forged seat allotment letters were circulated widely. Scammers also sold fake MBBS admission offers to desperate candidates. MCC has consistently urged families to trust only verified channels.
