The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced key reforms in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process to make admissions more transparent and student-friendly. According to an official notification issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, counselling will begin shortly with several software-based improvements. Candidates who are allotted a seat and opt for upgradation in subsequent rounds will no longer be required to physically report to the allotted college for admission formalities. Their admission will remain valid within the counselling system while they participate in further rounds, reports NDTV.

Additionally, the MCC has introduced an online resignation facility, allowing candidates to surrender their allotted seats directly through the counselling portal without visiting the college. Another major change is the introduction of online document submission for NRI quota applicants, enabling candidates seeking NRI reservation to upload the required documents through the MCC portal. The National Testing Agency (NTA) had declared the NEET UG 2026 results on July 16, with nearly 20 lakh candidates appearing for the examination across 5,440 centres in India and abroad. Of these, around 11.21 lakh candidates qualified for admission to undergraduate medical, dental, AYUSH, and allied health science programmes.
