What the revised round 1 schedule looks like
According to the Times of India report dated August 13, 2026, the MCC has pushed back multiple milestones in round 1. The exact revised dates were not detailed in the available snippet — candidates should check mcc.nic.in directly for the official updated schedule.
The revision affects three key stages of the process:
- Registration: New window dates to be confirmed on the MCC portal
- Choice filling: Revised deadline follows the updated registration close date
- Seat allotment: Result date shifted in line with the new timeline
What candidates should do right now
Do not rely on old dates. The MCC has not issued a general extension — only a schedule revision — so missing the new deadlines will still disqualify a candidate from round 1 allotment.
- Log in to mcc.nic.in and note the revised dates
- Keep documents ready: NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 certificates, ID proof, category certificate if applicable
- Complete registration before attempting choice filling — the portal does not allow skipping steps
Why the schedule was revised
The MCC has not publicly stated a reason for the revision in the available information. Schedule changes at this stage are not unusual — the committee has revised round timelines in previous years to align with court orders or administrative requirements.
FAQ
Q: Will this delay affect round 2 and mop-up round dates?
A: Possibly. A shift in round 1 seat allotment typically pushes subsequent rounds. The MCC is expected to release a full revised schedule on its portal — monitor mcc.nic.in for updates.
