Seventy-five postgraduate medical candidates could lose the seats they won in Round 1 of NEET PG 2026 counselling. Their colleges never finished reporting the admissions on the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) portal, so MCC has given the institutes one last day to fix it: today, November 13.
MCC issued a notice on Thursday, November 12, after the institutes failed to complete admission reporting despite repeated emails and phone calls. As a one-time measure, the reporting portal will be open today from 9.30 am to 11 pm. Institutes that have not reported their candidates have been told to complete the admission process inside that window, and candidates have been asked to check that their online admission letters have been generated.
What happens if the reporting is not done today
The warning in the notice is blunt. Any admission not submitted on the portal by the college will be treated as “Null & Void”. The candidate will be marked “Not Reported”, and the seat will automatically become available for allotment in the next counselling round. MCC has also said that any adverse consequence of non-compliance will be the sole responsibility of the institute or the candidate.
That matters because these are not unfilled seats. These are candidates who were allotted seats in Round 1, but the paperwork never reached the MCC system. If the portal closes tonight with their admissions still unreported, they lose a seat they had already won.
How 75 admissions got stuck
A senior health ministry official told The Times of India that the problem came from two sides at once. Some candidates uploaded unclear or illegible certificates. The colleges sent those documents back for correction, but the revised versions were never uploaded. Other institutes simply did not finish verification or sort out discrepancies in time.
Smaller DNB institutes were hit hardest. Many of them have no dedicated administrative staff for counselling work, so doctors who spend their day on patient care were also handling document verification, or the job was left to clerical and data-entry staff. Around 72 institutes out of 1,600 to 1,700 were affected in all.
The list includes Grant Medical College, Mumbai; ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Ahmedabad; Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad, part of Santosh Deemed to be University; Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry; Shroff Eye Centre, Delhi; Medanta Super Speciality Hospital, Indore; and Ranchi Institute of Neuro-Psychiatry and Allied Sciences.
What candidates should do today
Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 should check the list of 75 names under the PG Medical notices on the official MCC counselling portal. If your roll number is on it, contact your allotted college nodal officer immediately and make sure the college updates your online admission confirmation on the portal today. Do not assume the college has already done it.
The same document errors caused much of this mess, so candidates reporting to a college in a later round should carry clean, legible copies of every certificate. Our admission documents checklist lists the papers counselling portals commonly ask for.
Round 2 goes ahead as planned
The official quoted in the report said the pending cases are expected to be resolved by tomorrow, which would let the affected candidates keep their seats and Round 2 counselling proceed on schedule. Round 2 registration is already open and runs till 3 pm on November 14, with fee payment open till 6 pm the same day. Choice filling runs till 11.55 pm on November 15, choice locking opens at 4 pm on November 14, and the final allotment result comes out on November 17. Candidates allotted a seat in Round 2 must report to their colleges between November 18 and 24.
