NEET UG Counselling 2026 LIVE: MCC Round 2 Registration Begins

Candidates who were allotted seats in round 2 but did not join the allotted college remain eligible for further rounds of the admission process. However, those who did not register for round 1 will have to submit a fresh application and complete choice filling to participate in NEET UG Counselling 2026 round 2.

Candidates allotted a seat in round 2 will also have the option to indicate willingness to upgrade from round 2 to round 3, provided they report to the allotted college physically first.

Here is the complete NEET UG 2026 counselling date schedule for round 2, covering both MBBS and BDS admission:

These NEET UG counselling 2026 dates MBBS milestones give candidates a clear, week-long window to complete registration, finalise their preferences, and prepare for the round 2 result. Since BDS admissions follow the same NEET UG counselling 2026 dates MBBS schedule, candidates applying for either course should track this single timeline closely.

Alongside round 2 registration, MCC has also notified deadlines for medical assessment of candidates applying under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category. The Primary Medical Assessment Board will conduct assessments for candidates who report by September 5, 10:30 am. The Primary Medical Assessment itself must be completed by September 6, while the appellate medical assessment board will assess candidates who report by September 8.

Alongside the MCC round 2 process, several states have also announced their own counselling updates. In Uttar Pradesh, the Directorate of Medical Education and Training has opened choice filling, with candidates locking preferences on dgme.up.gov.in by September 5, and the round 2 result expected on September 7. 

In Andhra Pradesh, NTRUHS has declared the final round 1 seat allotment result for MBBS competent authority quota seats, with college reporting due by September 7. In Gujarat, the ACPUGMEC has begun round 2 registration, requiring candidates to purchase an online PIN and complete document verification on medadmgujarat.org.

With MCC NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2 now underway, candidates who missed out in round 1, or who wish to try for a better seat, have a fresh opportunity through this cycle. Since choice filling and locking run right up to September 9, just a day before allotment processing begins, candidates are advised to avoid last-minute changes to their preferences and instead finalise their college and course choices well in advance.

Given that college reporting stretches over a week, from September 12 to 18, candidates allotted a seat should also use this time to prepare their documents and travel plans rather than waiting until the final days. 

Keeping track of every NEET UG 2026 counselling date as the process moves forward will help candidates avoid missing a step in this multi-stage cycle.
