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.
