MCC Releases Revised NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment Following Technical Error
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially released the revised provisional seat allotment result for the NEET UG 2026 Round 1 counselling process. The update comes in the wake of a technical discrepancy involving the uploading of a Person with Disability (PwD) certificate by a Primary Assessment Centre, which necessitated a recalculation of the initial results published on August 20.
Following this revision, the MCC has confirmed that the final Round 1 seat allotment result is scheduled to be declared today, August 22, 2026.
Addressing the Technical Glitch
The decision to issue a revised provisional list was prompted by a processing error regarding a candidate’s PwD certificate. The MCC acted swiftly to ensure the integrity of the counselling process, which determines placement for thousands of students across the country. Candidates who participated in the choice-filling and locking process are advised to view the updated list to verify their current status.
The Round 1 allocation process encompasses a vast range of seats, including MBBS and BDS programs across All India Quota (AIQ) seats, deemed universities, central institutions, and Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) hospitals. Previously, the initial Round 1 allocation included 29,945 seats, and students are reminded that final seat distribution remains subject to change until the formal, final results are released today.
Next Steps for Candidates
Candidates who have been allotted seats can access their status by visiting the official MCC website. Upon logging in, students can review their assigned college, course, and specific quota.
For those satisfied with their allocation, the next phase involves proceeding with the physical admission process in accordance with the official schedule. Students who are hoping for a better seat have the option to opt for an "upgrade." The MCC has clarified that candidates choosing the upgrade option are not required to complete physical reporting at the currently allotted college solely for the purpose of seeking a higher preference.

- Visit the official MCC counselling website.
- Navigate to the section dedicated to NEET UG 2026 Round 1 seat allotment.
- Use your credentials to log in and verify your allotment details.
- Download and print the provisional result for your records, keeping in mind that this is subject to the final announcement expected later today.
Candidates are strongly encouraged to cross-reference the revised provisional findings with the final allotment list once it becomes available to ensure they have the most accurate information regarding their academic future.
