MCC's UG counselling page, last updated on 16 October, then showed choice filling and locking closing at 12:30 PM on 17 October 2026.

If you were allotted a seat, check the result on mcc.nic.in and report to the allotted college between 19 and 26 October 2026 with your original documents. The stray round used only the seats on MCC's clear vacancy list for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing (official PDF).
