NEET MDS 2027 Counselling

NEET  MDS 2027 (COUNSELLING)

The NEET MDS 2027 counselling will be conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and is expected to begin in June 2026, about a month after the result declaration. The process will be held online and typically involves three to four rounds, depending on seat availability and vacancy after each round.

The NEET MDS 2027 counselling process will be conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for the All India Quota (50% seats), while State Counselling Authorities will manage the other 50% state quota seats. The counselling is expected to begin around June 2026, about a month after the result declaration, and will involve approximately three to four rounds. For each round, candidates must register online on the official MCC website (mcc.nic.in), fill and lock their choices of colleges and specialties, and participate based on their NEET MDS rank and category reservation.

The NEET MDS counselling procedure is entirely online except for the final step, where candidates must report to their allotted institutes for document verification and admission. Registration requires candidates to enter details such as NEET MDS roll number, application number, and date of birth. Once registered, candidates complete their profiles, submit preferences, and pay the counselling fee. Each round includes seat allotment based on merit and choices, after which candidates who receive seat allotment must report at the respective institutes with all original documents and fee payment receipts.

The counselling process for AIQ seats is expected to begin on July 2027.

Overview of the Counselling Procedure

The entire process is conducted online via the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in), except for the final admission stage.

  1. Registration: Candidates must register on the MCC website using their NEET MDS 2027 roll number, application number, and date of birth.
  2. Fee Payment: During registration, candidates must pay a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit.
