    • ₹5000 (for Deemed Universities)

Once registration is complete, download the confirmation page for future reference.

Step 2: Choice Filling & Locking

  • Log in using your credentials and fill in preferred colleges and courses.
  • Candidates can reorder, add, or remove choices until the locking deadline.
  • Once choices are locked, no further changes are allowed.
  • Failure to lock choices will result in automatic locking on the last date.

Step 3: Seat Allotment Process

  • MCC uses a merit-cum-preference-based algorithm to allocate seats.
  • The seat allotment result is published online in PDF format.
  • Candidates can download the Provisional Allotment Letter from the MCC website.

Step 4: Reporting to the Allotted College

  • Candidates must physically report to the allotted medical college within the given time.
  • Submit the original documents for verification and pay the admission fee.
  • If you do not report on time, your seat will be cancelled.

Step 5: Second Round Counselling

  • Students who did not get a seat in Round 1 or wish to upgrade can participate in Round 2.

  • Round 2 follows the same process — choice filling, locking, seat allotment, and reporting.

Step 6: Mop-Up and Stray Vacancy Rounds
