MCC NEET PG 2026 Round 2: Schedule to Be Rescheduled After New Seat Approvals
Important for Round 2 aspirants: MCC has announced a change to the Round 2 scheduling process after receiving a matrix of newly approved seats from NMC on 3 November 2026.
Do not treat 7 November as a confirmed registration, choice-filling or allotment date. MCC states that the Round 2 counselling schedule *will be rescheduled from 7 November onwards*. The exact updated candidate timetable has not yet been issued in this announcement.
What MCC announced
| Item | Official MCC statement |
|---|---|
| New seat-matrix information received | 3 November 2026, from NMC |
| Institute-level seat-matrix verification | Through 6 November 2026, after applying the reservation roster |
| Round 2 scheduling | To be rescheduled from 7 November 2026 onwards |
| Exact revised candidate deadlines | Not specified in this announcement |
What changed and why it matters
The newly approved seats must first undergo institution-level verification and reservation-roster checks. Accordingly, candidates should not rely on an older Round 2 timetable without checking MCC's replacement schedule. The announcement does not give an approved total of new seats, a reconciled branch-wise/college-wise matrix, or exact revised registration, choice-filling, locking, result and reporting dates. Those figures and milestones must not be guessed.
Impact on seats, branches, quotas and choice filling
This development may change the range of seats ultimately available in Round 2, but only the official *final verified* matrix will establish college, specialty, category, quota and course-wise availability. Do not treat an NMC approval alone as a counselling-available seat until it is present in MCC's operative matrix. Review the final available seats and official eligibility/rules for your counselling route before changing preferences.
Practical strategy: Keep a preference-ordered list of desired MD/MS/DNB institutes and specialties ready; distinguish AIQ, deemed, central/internal and DNB options when relevant; do not use unverified seat counts or predict cutoff movement from this announcement alone.
