As a result, the seats of the Institute will not be visible at the time of Choice Filling.

All Institutes are required to verify Tentative Seat Matrix w.r.t their number of seats, as per schedule which will be uploaded on MCC (www.mcc.nic.in) & intramcc (www.intramcc.nic.in) website. Any discrepancy found may be immediately informed to MCC.

3. All the admissions have to be entered on intramcc portal and the Admission Letters have to be generated through portal at the time of Reporting. Any admission which is not taken through the portal will be treated as 'Null & Void'. As a result, the seat will be shown as vacant in the portal and will be reverted for allotment in next round by the software.
