Eligible candidates must register on the web-based portal at https://manipurmc.mn.gov.in. The DME does not allot seats manually; all registration must be completed online during the specified window. Only one NEET UG Counselling application per candidate is permitted; multiple applications result in debarment.
Candidates can select from three seat types (Government, Management, NRI) with multiple choices allowed subject to fee payment. Once final submission is completed, seat type selections are permanently locked and cannot be altered. Choice filling is mandatory for every counselling round.
Freeze vs. Float Candidates
After seat allotment, candidates must decide:
- Freeze Candidate: Does not wish to upgrade their allotted seat and will retain it. Must physically report at the allotted college during August 25–28, 2026, with original documents. If withdrawing, must submit physical resignation during the prescribed time period.
- Float Candidate: Wishes to upgrade their seat in subsequent rounds. Does not need to physically report at the allotted college and can submit an online seat surrender request through the portal. Will receive a Provisional Admission Letter after successful verification.
Note: Candidates allotted seats at Regional Dental College (RDC), Guwahati, must mandatorily report physically for document verification, irrespective of Freeze/Float status. Once a seat is surrendered/resigned, candidates have no further claim on it.
