The short version: MCC published the Round 1 final allotment result on 24 October 2026. If you were allotted a seat, the reporting window runs 26 October to 2 November, and MCC verifies joined-candidate data on 3 November. Round 2 is tentatively scheduled to begin on 6 November. Everything below is meant to help you use the next eight days well -- not to tell you what to do with your seat, because that is your call.
The dates that matter
The Round 1 final result is confirmed by MCC's own listing (we track it on our dashboard: Final Allotment Result for PG Counselling Round 1 dated 24.10.2026). The reporting window and the Round 2 schedule below are as reported by Careers360 and Physics Wallah from MCC's published schedule. MCC calls the Round 2 dates tentative, so confirm them on mcc.nic.in before you plan travel.
| Date (2026) | What happens |
|---|---|
| 23 Oct | Round 1 provisional result |
| 24 Oct | Round 1 final allotment result |
| 26 Oct – 2 Nov | Reporting / joining at your allotted college |
| 3 Nov | Joined-candidate data verified by MCC |
| 6 – 7 Nov | Round 2 seat matrix verification (tentative) |
| 6 – 11 Nov | Round 2 registration and payment (payment closes 3 PM on 11 Nov) |
| 7 – 12 Nov | Round 2 choice filling |
| 14 Nov | Round 2 result |
| 16 – 23 Nov | Round 2 reporting / joining |
| 24 Nov | Round 2 joined-candidate data verified |
Your document checklist (start collecting today)
Reporting day is not the day to discover a missing certificate. The list below is what the major counselling explainers agree on; your allotted institute's own list always prevails, so treat this as a starting point and check your allotment letter.
- NEET-PG admit card and result scorecard
- The Round 1 seat allotment letter (download it and keep a printout)
- MBBS (or BDS) degree or provisional certificate, plus mark sheets of all professional exams
- Internship completion certificate
- NMC or State Medical Council registration certificate
- Date-of-birth proof and a valid photo ID, plus passport-size photographs
- Category, EWS or disability certificate, if you are using that reservation
- Anything seat-specific: domicile, NRI or sponsorship papers, service-bond or fee documents, fitness certificate
Carry originals and photocopies. If a certificate is missing, ask your university or council now -- those offices are not fast.
"Should I wait for Round 2?" What real 2025 data shows
This is the question flooding every aspirant group chat this week. We can't answer it for you -- it depends on your rank, your seat, your fees and your priorities -- but we can show you what actually happened last year, using real MCC allotment data. (2026 Round 1 figures will be added to the Predictor once the official PDF has been extracted and validated, because we don't publish a number we haven't checked.)
Across the country, the cutoff goes much deeper by Round 3
Here is the Open-category closing rank -- the rank of the last candidate allotted a seat in that specialty, anywhere in the country -- in 2025's Round 1 versus Round 3. PwD-reserved allotments and Armed Forces service-bond seats are excluded, the same way as everywhere on this site.
| Specialty (MD/MS) | Round 1 closing rank | Round 3 closing rank | Stretch |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Medicine | 1,28,130 | 2,28,379 | 1.78× |
| Psychiatry | 1,20,248 | 2,12,372 | 1.77× |
| Radio-Diagnosis | 1,32,779 | 2,24,521 | 1.69× |
| General Surgery | 1,30,245 | 2,20,647 | 1.69× |
| Orthopaedics | 1,38,558 | 2,29,242 | 1.65× |
| Paediatrics | 1,36,814 | 2,21,936 | 1.62× |
| Anaesthesiology | 1,30,363 | 2,09,666 | 1.61× |
| Obstetrics & Gynaecology | 1,35,021 | 2,16,112 | 1.60× |
| Dermatology & Venereology | 1,34,482 | 2,09,076 | 1.55× |
How to read this honestly: a closing rank of 2,28,379 does not mean a candidate at that rank got into a top government college. These numbers cover every seat in the specialty -- including deemed and private colleges -- so they measure how deep each round reaches, not how deep any one college goes. That is exactly why the next table matters more.
At top government colleges, the picture is very different
General Medicine, Open category, 2025 -- a few well-known colleges, Round 1 versus Round 3:
| College | Round 1 (seats, rank range) | Round 3 (seats, rank range) |
|---|---|---|
| Maulana Azad Medical College | 9 seats, 34–141 | No Open allotment recorded |
| University College of Medical Sciences | 4 seats, 164–579 | 1 seat, rank 319 |
| Madras Medical College | 7 seats, 9–291 | 2 seats, 726–799 |
| Stanley Medical College | 6 seats, 168–602 | 5 seats, 834–1,083 |
Three things stand out, and none of them is a promise:
- Top-college seats mostly go in Round 1. Maulana Azad had no Open-category General Medicine allotment recorded in Round 3 at all.
- Some seats do reopen, and the ranks can move a lot. Madras Medical College's Round 1 General Medicine allotments ended at rank 291; its Round 3 allotments reached rank 799. For a few candidates, waiting changed the outcome.
- The reopened seats are few. Round 3 had one seat at UCMS and two at Madras Medical College. Planning around two or three possible seats is a gamble, whatever your rank.
Treat this as a pattern from one year, in one category, with small seat counts at the college level. Seat matrices, applicant numbers and cutoffs change every cycle, so 2025 describes a shape, not a forecast.
Three questions to answer before 26 October
- Would I be glad to hold this seat? Check the college, the specialty, the fee, any service bond and the stipend -- not just the rank attached to it.
- What do my allotment letter and MCC's Information Bulletin say? Rules on upgrading, exiting a seat, security deposits and what happens if you don't report differ by quota and seat type, and they are the only authority that counts. Read them before you decide, not after.
- Are my documents ready for the whole window? Eight days sounds long until a certificate needs a signature in another city.
Before you pay anyone, read this
Every counselling season brings calls and messages promising to "upgrade your seat" or "guarantee a better college" for a fee. MCC does not do this. Our scam-alert guide has the 5-second checklist, and our post on what your rank actually means explains how to read your position honestly. If you are also sitting INI-CET, see our INI-CET explainer.
Know a batchmate who hasn't seen these dates? Forward this page to your group -- the reporting window is only eight days long.
