Updated coverage — 22 October 2026: NEET UG 2026 Stray Round: Final Allotment Result Now Listed by MCC. Read the newer coverage alongside the original report below.
Checked: 17 October 2026 | Source: live MCC UG page and revised schedule notice dated 14 October.
NEET UG applicants should check the newest MCC instructions before acting on a saved schedule. The live UG page carries a later choice-filling message than the dates printed in the revised stray-round notice.
The latest choice deadline
The MCC UG counselling page states that choice filling and choice locking are available until 12:30 PM on October 17, 2026. This message concerns choices; it should not be read as a fresh extension of registration or payment.
If you are reading this after 12:30 PM, the listed choice deadline has passed unless MCC publishes another change. Check your saved choices and application status rather than assuming the portal remains open.
Result and reporting dates in the revised schedule
MCC's revised schedule notice lists seat processing for October 17–18, result declaration for October 19 and reporting from October 19–26. Treat these as the published schedule and watch for subsequent amendments; this report does not claim the result has already been released.
What applicants can do now
- Keep your final choice record and application confirmation accessible.
- Review the fees, location and reporting requirements of colleges you have selected.
- Prepare originals and copies without sending sensitive documents to unverified contacts.
- Check the official result and allotment letter when released; a vacancy list or predicted allotment is not an admission offer.
Families can use our MBBS admission reporting document checklist to organise the practical work while waiting. Eligibility remains specific to the counselling route and round; review our stray-vacancy eligibility checklist alongside the actual official rules.
Frequently asked questions
Does the October 17 message reopen registration?
The message specifies choice filling and locking. It does not announce a new registration or payment window.
Is the result already out?
The cited notice schedules it for October 19. Verify the official release separately when the date arrives.
Can I use an AIQ deadline for state counselling?
No. State authorities publish their own schedules and participation conditions.
