Who Can Participate in MCC UG Counselling 2025?

All candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2025 are eligible to participate in the MCC counselling process, provided they meet the minimum academic and eligibility requirements:

• Must have passed Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English individually in 10+2 with at least 50% aggregate (40% for reserved categories)
• Must be included in the NEET UG 2025 merit list published by NTA

It’s important to note that eligibility criteria for specific institutions—like AIIMS, JIPMER, and AMU—may vary and should be reviewed individually through their respective official websites.

Step-by-Step Counselling Process

1. Registration:
Candidates must register on www.mcc.nic.in using the same email ID and mobile number used during NEET registration. An OTP verification system is in place, and only one registration per candidate is permitted.

2. Fee Payment:
Payment includes a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit. This must be done online through credit/debit card or net banking.

3. Choice Filling and Locking:
Candidates can select and prioritise colleges and courses based on their preference. Choices must be locked within the given deadline. Failure to do so will result in the system automatically locking the entered choices.

4. Seat Allotment:
Based on merit, category, and preferences, MCC will publish the results on its official website.

5. Reporting and Document Verification:
Candidates allotted a seat must report physically to the respective institution with original documents to confirm their admission.

Important Guidelines

• Only one registration per candidate is allowed; multiple registrations will lead to cancellation.
• Once a candidate joins in Round 3, they cannot resign or upgrade.
• Fee structure, bond rules, and rural service obligations vary by institution. MCC does not take responsibility for this data; candidates must verify independently with colleges.
• Candidates are not contacted individually by MCC. All updates, results, and notices are posted on the official website.
• If a candidate fails to join an allotted college in Round 2 or later, the security deposit will be forfeited.

Documents Required at Reporting

Candidates should carry the following documents in original and multiple photocopies at the time of reporting:

• NEET UG 2025 Admit Card and Scorecard
• Allotment Letter issued by MCC
• Class 10 and 12 Mark Sheets and Passing Certificates
• Valid Photo ID (Aadhar, Passport, etc.)
• Category certificate (if applicable)
• PwD certificate (if applicable)
• Passport-sized photographs (same as uploaded in NEET application)

Refund of Security Deposit

Refunds are processed only to the same bank account used during registration. Candidates must ensure they enter correct bank details during the process.

Refunds will not be issued if:

• The candidate fails to join the allotted college
• Admission is cancelled due to document discrepancies
• False information is provided during registration

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Missing the registration or choice-locking deadline
• Providing incorrect details in the application (these cannot be edited later)
• Not researching college fee structures and service obligations before locking in choices
• Depending on agents or third parties for registration

Expert Tips from Radical Education

• Research Each College in Advance– Before you lock your preferences, check the college’s fee structure, bond conditions, hostel availability, and location. Many students make the mistake of ignoring these practical factors.
• Understand Round 3 Restrictions– Once you accept a seat in Round 3, you cannot participate in any further rounds. Make sure you’re fully committed before joining.
• Use Data from Previous Years– Review the opening and closing ranks of past years to gauge where you might realistically get admission.
• Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute– Complete your registration and choice filling early. The website may experience heavy traffic near deadlines.
• Have a Backup Plan– Always include a mix of high-reach, mid-reach, and safe colleges in your choices. This ensures you don’t miss out due to overconfidence.
