What is MCC Counselling?
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), functioning under the Directorate General of Health Services, conducts centralised counselling for specific categories of NEET-UG seats — most notably the All India Quota (AIQ), Deemed Universities, Central Universities, ESIC and AFMC seats.
Unlike state counselling, which is domicile-based, MCC counselling is open to eligible NEET-UG candidates from anywhere in India, competing purely on rank, category and choices filled.
At Prarambh Global Solutions PVT Ltd, we guide you through MCC registration, document verification, choice filling and reporting — so every round is handled correctly and on time.

MCC handles a specific set of MBBS/BDS and PG seat categories — not the entire national intake.
15% of government college seats in every state, open to eligible candidates nationwide, regardless of domicile.
100% of MBBS/BDS seats in deemed-to-be universities across India are counselled centrally through MCC.
Seats in central universities, ESIC medical colleges and AFMC are also allotted through the MCC counselling process.

MCC Counselling Rounds
MCC conducts counselling across sequential rounds — understanding each helps you plan better.
Round 1
The first and largest round, based on your initial choice list and NEET-UG rank.
Round 2
Open to fresh and existing candidates for seats vacated or unfilled after Round 1.
Mop-Up Round
A further round for remaining vacant seats, generally with tighter timelines and rules.
Stray Vacancy Round
The final round for any seats still vacant, typically for AIQ deemed/central university seats.
MCC Counselling vs State Counselling
Both run in parallel but are entirely separate processes with their own rules.
| Factor | MCC Counselling | State Counselling |
|---|---|---|
| Conducted By | Medical Counselling Committee (Central) | Respective state counselling authority |
| Seats Covered | AIQ, deemed, central, ESIC/AFMC | State quota, state private/deemed colleges |
| Domicile Needed | No, open to all-India candidates | Yes, generally required for state quota |
| Registration Portal | Official MCC counselling website | State's own counselling portal |
| Can You Do Both? | Yes, if eligible, alongside state counselling | Yes, alongside MCC counselling if eligible |
Note: Most eligible candidates can register for both MCC and their home state's counselling simultaneously, and track both rounds. Always confirm current-year specific rules, as timelines and processes can be revised each cycle.
