About the MCC Counselling
MCC NEET counselling is the process for allocating MBBS and BDS seats in government and deemed universities across India. It’s conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for candidates who qualify for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The counselling involves several rounds where candidates can fill in their preferred college choices based on their NEET score and seat availability. After each round, seats are allotted based on merit, reservation category, and choices. Candidates can accept the allotted seat, reject it and participate in further rounds, or opt for upgradation if aiming for a higher choice. The entire process takes place online and is crucial for securing a medical seat through the NEET exam.
