MCC Updates NEET UG 2026 Counselling with Online Upgrades, Resignation, and NRI Document Submission
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has introduced key reforms for NEET UG and PG 2026 counselling to simplify admissions and enhance transparency. 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 seats without visiting colleges. Additionally, NRI quota applicants can now upload required documents online. These changes aim to reduce travel, paperwork, and logistical challenges for medical aspirants.
