What Makes MCC the Most Trusted Counselling Authority in India?
When it comes to NEET UG admissions, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is not just a procedural body — it is the official and most credible authority for the most competitive medical seats in India.
MCC handles:
15% All India Quota (AIQ) in all government medical/dental colleges (except J&K)
100% seats in AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU
All Deemed Universities and ESIC colleges
It ensures:
Fully online and transparent counselling
Merit-based seat allocation through automated software
Zero manual intervention or bias
This makes MCC the most secure, meritocratic, and student-centric platform in Indian medical admissions.

₹1,000 for AIQ General
₹500 for SC/ST/OBC
₹10,000 refundable (AIQ)
₹2,00,000 refundable (Deemed universities)
Pro Tip: If you participate in Round 1 and don’t take a seat, you’re eligible for a full refund.
2. Choice Filling and Locking
Prioritize your dream colleges but fill at least 100+ choices
Lock your choices before the deadline
Use mock allotments and previous cut-offs for reference
3. Seat Allotment & Result Declaration
Results are published online
A provisional list is released, followed by the final result
Seat acceptance requires document verification and fee payment
4. Reporting to Allotted Institute
Carry original documents: NEET scorecard, admit card, 10th/12th marksheets, ID proof, photos
Physical presence is compulsory; absence leads to seat cancellation
5. Upgrade or Exit
After Round 1, you may exit with a full refund
From Round 2 onward, if allotted a seat, you cannot exit without losing your deposit
Hidden Rules Students Often Miss
Round 2 Lock-In Rule:
If you’re allotted a seat in Round 2 and accept it, you cannot leave or upgrade later.
Mobile Interface Issues:
Many errors occur when students fill choices from mobile phones. Always use desktop mode or a laptop for safer access.
Stray Round Scams:
Many fake agents emerge during the stray vacancy round. MCC does not allow manual admission or payment — all processes remain online only via the MCC portal.
