Data Analysis
Total added seats: 2 MBBS seats.
NRI quota: 1 seat, representing 50% of this addition.
OBC-PwD quota: 1 seat, representing 50% of this addition.
The addition is small nationally but important to the candidates who meet the exact quota and eligibility conditions. It is a change to the counselling choice matrix, not an automatic admission and not a general two-seat increase for every candidate.
Who Should Act
Candidates eligible for the notified NRI seat should check the MCC rules and supporting-document requirements before including HIMSR.
Candidates eligible under the notified OBC-PwD classification should verify their category and PwD documentation before including Stanley Medical College.
Candidates already filling choices should re-open the live matrix, review the new entries and place them according to genuine preference.
Choice-Filling Strategy
Order choices by true preference, not by assumed cutoff. Confirm course, college, quota, category, fee implications and document eligibility before locking. Saving a choice is not the same as locking it; candidates should download or preserve the final locked-choice record where available. Seat availability can change through valid counselling operations, so use the live MCC portal as the operational source.
Important Limitation
This alert reports only the two seats in MCC's 2 November seat-addition notice. It does not claim that these are the only vacancies in the round, and it does not convert regulatory approval or college intake into a counselling vacancy. The live MCC matrix and candidate portal remain controlling.
