Overview
- MCC issued a notice extending the Round 1 web‑options deadline to 11:59 PM on Aug 18, giving candidates more time to submit and lock their preferences.
- The choice‑locking facility was activated on Aug 17 but outlets reported different start times — 10:00 AM, 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM — reflecting live schedule revisions on the portal.
- MCC will process Round 1 seat allotments on Aug 18 and publish results on Aug 19, and candidates allotted seats must report to institutes between Aug 20 and Aug 25 with institutes verifying joined candidates’ data on Aug 26.
- Round 1 covers 15% All India Quota and 100% of seats at deemed and central universities, AIIMS, JIPMER, AFMC and related central institutes and uses the NMC seat matrix of roughly 1.36 lakh MBBS seats across 823 colleges in allocation calculations.
- Candidates should use the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in), follow the on‑screen OTP/password steps to lock choices, and contact the 24×7 helpline at 7824848020 or mcc2026@gov.in for technical help because locked preferences are final for Round 1 allotment.
