NEET MDS 2026 Counselling Round 1 Final Result Out at mcc.nic.in; Institute Reporting Starts Today

New Delhi, September 3, 2026 — The Medical Counselling Committee has released the NEET MDS 2026 counselling Round 1 final seat allotment result on its official website, mcc.nic.in. Candidates who registered for the first round can now log in with their NEET MDS roll number and password to check their allotted college and course, and download the provisional allotment letter required for admission.

The final list follows the provisional Round 1 result published on September 1, 2026, in which 1,521 candidates were allotted seats. MCC kept a grievance window open until 12:30 PM on September 2, allowing candidates to flag discrepancies in category, quota or choice order before the allotment was locked. Corrections accepted during that window are reflected in the list now live on the portal.

Reporting begins today

Candidates holding a Round 1 allotment must report physically to the allotted institute between September 3 and September 11, 2026. Reporting is not a formality — a candidate who does not join within this window forfeits the seat, and in the case of deemed university and certain quota seats, may also lose the security deposit as per the MCC information bulletin.

MCC has historically directed that Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays be treated as working days during counselling, so candidates should not assume the deadline slides for a weekend. Verification of joined candidates' data by the states is scheduled for September 12 and 13, 2026.

How to download the NEET MDS 2026 Round 1 final allotment letter

1. Open mcc.nic.in.

2. Click on the "MDS Medical Counselling" tab.

3. Select the Round 1 seat allotment result / allotment letter link under Current Events.

4. Log in using your NEET MDS 2026 roll number, password and captcha.

5. The allotted institute, course and quota are displayed on screen.

6. Download the provisional allotment letter and take at least two printed copies for reporting.

Candidates should cross-check name spelling, category, quota and course code on the letter against their application. Any mismatch must be raised with the allotted institute at the time of document verification, not after joining.

Documents to carry for institute reporting

• Provisional allotment letter downloaded from mcc.nic.in

• NEET MDS 2026 admit card and scorecard/rank letter

• BDS degree certificate and mark sheets of all professional years

• Internship completion certificate, or certificate of expected completion as per the cut-off date specified in the bulletin

• Permanent or provisional registration certificate from the Dental Council of India or the relevant State Dental Council

• Class 10 certificate for date of birth proof

• Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, passport or driving licence)

• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) in the prescribed central government format, where applicable

• PwD certificate issued by an MCC-designated disability board, where applicable

• Eight to ten passport-size photographs matching the one on the application

Institutes may ask for additional state-specific or university-specific documents, so candidates should also read the reporting notice on the allotted college's website.

Which seats are covered

MCC conducts NEET MDS counselling for 50 per cent All India Quota seats in government dental colleges, 100 per cent seats in deemed universities, central university seats, and ESIC and AFMS seats. The remaining state quota seats are handled by individual state counselling authorities, whose Round 1 process this year ran from August 21 to September 5, 2026. Candidates in the state stream must follow their own state's schedule and should not treat MCC dates as applicable to them.

Free exit, upgrade and what happens next

Candidates allotted a seat in Round 1 have three broad options. They may join and stay, they may join and opt for an upgrade in Round 2 by choosing not to resign, or — where the bulletin permits — they may exit without joining. Free exit provisions differ by round and by seat type, and are strictest for deemed university seats. Candidates should read the free exit clause in the MCC 2026 information bulletin carefully before deciding, because a wrong assumption here costs both the seat and the deposit.

MCC is expected to announce the NEET MDS 2026 Round 2 counselling schedule, including fresh registration and choice filling dates, shortly after Round 1 reporting closes and vacancy positions are updated. Candidates who were not allotted a seat in Round 1 do not need to register again in most cases, but must fill fresh choices for Round 2. The vacant seat matrix for Round 2 is published only after institutes report joining data.

Eligibility recap

NEET MDS 2026 was conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. The qualifying cut-off is the 50th percentile for general category candidates and the 40th percentile for SC, ST and OBC candidates, with a separate relaxed threshold for PwD candidates as notified. Only candidates who cleared this percentile are eligible to take part in counselling.

Candidates are advised to rely only on mcc.nic.in for allotment data, dates and notices. Unofficial PDFs circulating on messaging apps have in past cycles carried outdated schedules from superseded bulletins.
