Overview
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced the NEET UG Counselling 2026 process for admission to undergraduate medical courses through Round 1 seat allotment. Qualified candidates will be able to register online, pay the counselling fee, fill choices and lock their preferred institutions at mcc.nic.in. This is an admission counselling process, not a recruitment drive; therefore, there are no posts, and the total number of available seats will be specified in the official seat matrix.
