Current Status
MCC has extended Round 2 reporting and resignation deadlines multiple times, pushing Round 2 joining to December 30, 2025, which delays Round 3 registration into early January 2026. Originally set for December 26, Round 3 now awaits revised dates on mcc.nic.in, covering AIQ, deemed universities, and ESIC seats. Counselling covers 50% AIQ seats plus central/deemed quotas, with potential extra rounds if vacancies persist.
Revised Round 3 Timeline
Expect these tentative dates based on MCC’s latest adjustments:
| Stage | Key Dates (Tentative) |
|---|---|
| Registration & Fee Payment | Jan 3–6, 2026 |
| Choice Filling & Locking | Jan 3–11, 2026 |
| Seat Allotment Result | Jan 12, 2026 |
| Reporting/Joining | Jan 12–17, 2026 |
Deadlines follow server time; new registrants from prior exits must re-register, while fresh candidates skip prior rounds.
Eligibility & Process
Candidates without seats from Rounds 1-2 or those who resigned qualify for Round 3; prior registrants reuse profiles. Steps include online profile creation, document upload, fee payment (non-refundable), choice filling, and seat acceptance (freeze/upgrade options). Check MCC portal daily for live updates, as stray vacancy rounds may follow by late January.
Key Advice
Monitor mcc.nic.in for exact notifications amid delays; prepare documents like NEET PG scorecard, ID proofs, and certificates early. Recent extensions signal high vacancy risks in Round 3, boosting chances for upgrades.
