What the Provisional Result Covers
MCC’s official notice, dated August 20, states that the Round 1 provisional result is now available and that candidates should report any discrepancy to the committee through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System on the login portal. The notice specifies that this result is indicative in nature and subject to change, and that it cannot be challenged before a court of law.
Candidates have also been advised to approach their allotted college or institute only after the final result is declared, not on the basis of the provisional list. This round follows the choice filling and locking window, which MCC conducted between August 6 and 18 after revising the original schedule.
Seats Allotted and Categories Covered
The round 1 allotment includes MBBS and BDS seats under the 15% All India Quota in government medical colleges, along with 100% seats at AIIMS, JIPMER, Banaras Hindu University, Aligarh Muslim University, other central universities, and Employees’ State Insurance Corporation institutions. It also covers Delhi University and IP University quota seats and Jamia Millia Islamia’s open dentistry seats. The seat matrix for this round, listing category-wise seats at each participating institute, was published by MCC on August 7.
Reporting Schedule and Required Documents
Candidates allotted a seat must report to the respective institute between August 22 and 31, 2026, the last date for joining Round 1 as per MCC’s revised schedule. Before reporting, candidates need to download and print their provisional allotment letter from the counselling portal.
Documents required at the time of reporting include the NEET UG admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 certificates, category certificate where applicable, and a valid photo identity proof, along with photocopies of each. Candidates allotted seats under the PwBD category are required to complete disability assessment at the designated centre during reporting.
Freeze and Float Options
Allotted candidates must also exercise the Freeze or Float option on the portal. Freeze means the candidate accepts the Round 1 seat and will not seek an upgrade in later rounds, while Float means the candidate wants to be considered for a better seat in Round 2, after which the current seat may be released.
