Overview
- The Medical Counselling Committee published the Round‑1 seat matrix and opened registration and choice filling for NEET UG counselling, listing a total of 31,728 seats across MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing.
- MCC activated a reset/unlock facility so candidates could unlock and correct registration details, with that correction window scheduled to close at 11:00 AM on August 12, 2026.
- The UG registration link will be deactivated at 3:00 PM on August 12 and the payment facility will remain open until 6:00 PM, while choice filling stays active through August 13 ahead of seat allotment processing from August 13–16.
- Reports conflict on the exact start time for the choice‑locking window, so MCC has urged candidates to confirm deadlines and use the official helpdesk numbers and email addresses posted on mcc.nic.in.
- Separately, MCC released the NEET‑MDS information bulletin that introduces a Freeze/Float reporting mechanism, sets registration fees and refundable security deposits (including higher deposits for deemed universities), and lists designated helpline contacts.
