MCC Introduces Online Reforms for NEET UG 2026 Counselling Process
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has introduced key reforms for NEET UG 2026 counselling to enhance transparency and ease for candidates. Notably, candidates opting for seat upgrades in subsequent rounds will no longer need to physically report to allotted colleges, retaining their seats digitally. An online seat resignation facility has been added, allowing candidates to withdraw without visiting colleges. Additionally, NRI quota applicants can now upload required documents online. These changes aim to reduce travel, paperwork, and logistical challenges, streamlining the admission process nationwide.
