If you registered for NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 and made an error – or simply changed your mind about your choices – time is running out to fix it. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is set to close the reset registration facility for Round 1 shortly, according to a report by Education Times published on August 10, 2026.
Candidates who have already completed their Round 1 registration but wish to modify their details or start afresh must act immediately. Once this window shuts, no further changes will be permitted for Round 1.
What Is the Reset Registration Facility?
The reset registration option allows candidates to wipe their existing Round 1 registration data and re-register from scratch. This is particularly useful for students who may have:
- Entered incorrect personal or academic details
- Uploaded wrong documents
- Made errors while filling choice preferences
- Paid fees but want to revise their entire application
MCC typically offers this window for a limited period during the registration phase of each counselling round. It is not a routine feature available throughout the process, which makes it critical for affected candidates to use it before the deadline.
Why This Deadline Matters
NEET UG Counselling for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats – which includes seats in government medical and dental colleges, deemed universities, central universities, and ESIC and AFMS institutions – is conducted by MCC. The seat allotment process follows a strict schedule, and any registration errors left uncorrected can seriously affect a candidate’s chances of securing a seat in their preferred college or course.
Missing the reset window means you are locked into whatever data you submitted, even if it contains mistakes. In past counselling cycles, students who overlooked such deadlines faced either rejection during document verification or loss of allotted seats.
What Candidates Should Do Right Now
Students who registered for NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 should log in to the MCC official portal at mcc.nic.in immediately and verify the following:
- Personal details match the NEET UG 2026 admit card and marksheet
- Category and sub-category selections are accurate
- All uploaded documents are legible and valid
- Fee payment status is confirmed
If anything looks incorrect, use the reset facility before it closes. After resetting, complete the re-registration carefully and ensure payment is successful to avoid any lapse in your candidature.
Keep an Eye on the Official Schedule
MCC has not always announced exact closing times well in advance, and the portal has historically experienced high traffic near deadlines. Candidates are strongly advised to not wait until the last hour. Check the official MCC website regularly for updated notices and the precise date and time when the reset window will be disabled.
Parents and students should also note that Round 1 seat allotment results, reporting dates, and Round 2 timelines will follow in sequence – so getting Round 1 registration right is the first and most important step in the entire AIQ counselling process.
Important: Always rely on official MCC communications at mcc.nic.in for deadline confirmations. Third-party sources, including coaching centres and social media, may carry inaccurate dates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I miss the NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 reset deadline?
If you miss the reset window, your original registration data will be treated as final. You will not be able to correct errors before Round 1 seat allotment. This could affect document verification and seat confirmation.
Does using the reset facility cost extra fees?
Typically, resetting your registration does not attract an additional registration fee if the original payment was already made. However, you must confirm this on the MCC official portal, as policies can vary by counselling year.
Where can I check the exact closing date for the reset registration facility?
The authoritative source is the MCC official website at mcc.nic.in. Check the NEET UG 2026 counselling schedule published there for precise dates and times.
