Major Changes in MCC NEET UG Counselling 2026
The latest MCC NEET UG Counselling 2026 Information Bulletin introduces many reforms. The following are the major changes:
One-Time Physical Reporting
Candidates who opt for seat upgradation will not have to visit every upgraded institute for admission formalities. They will complete online formalities and physically report only once at the final allotted college.
Freeze and Float Options
MCC has now included Freeze and Float options after every round of seat allotment. This gives candidates greater flexibility to either retain their allotted seat or remain eligible for better options in the upcoming rounds.
Online Seat Resignation
Students can now surrender their allotted seat through the MCC portal within the deadline. This removes the need to visit the allotted institute in person just to resign from a seat.
Online Upload of NRI Documents
Candidates who are applying under the NRI quota in deemed universities can upload the required supporting documents online for verification.
