NEET 2026 Counselling: Key Steps for MCC and State Quota Admissions
NEET counselling for 2026 involves two parallel processes: the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) handling the All India Quota (15%) and individual state authorities managing the State Quota (85%). Candidates are advised to register for both simultaneously and carefully prioritize their college and course preferences. The counselling includes multiple rounds with options to accept, upgrade, or change seats. Timely registration, choice locking, and document verification are crucial to secure admission. The National Testing Agency plans to release results by July 20, with counselling expected to start shortly after.
