What is MCC NEET UG Counselling?
This evergreen information remains useful beyond the current round. MCC conducts centralized NEET UG counselling for eligible medical and dental seats covered under its counselling framework. The process normally includes registration, fee payment, choice filling, choice locking, seat allotment, result publication and reporting to the allotted institution.
Candidate tip: A higher number of filled choices can improve the range of possible allotments, but candidates should include only institutions and courses they are genuinely prepared to join.
