MCC Revises NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Choice Filling Schedule and Releases Seat Matrix
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has revised the NEET UG 2026 Round 1 choice filling schedule, postponing the start from August 6 to August 8, following updated guidelines from the National Medical Commission (NMC) concerning Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD). However, the MCC briefly removed the postponement notice, causing some uncertainty. The MCC has also activated a reset option for registration corrections until August 12 and released the Round 1 seat matrix covering MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing seats. Candidates are advised to monitor the official MCC website for updates and complete choice filling by the announced deadlines.
