Candidates allotted seats in NEET UG 2026 Round 1 must complete college reporting by August 22. The initial registration window ran from August 4 to August 17. Candidates must fulfill verification and institute joining requirements before the official server time deadline.
Failing to report risks seat cancellation. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) manages All India Quota (AIQ) seats centrally. Meanwhile, Round 2 counselling will take place between August 24 and September 2. Aspirants must act quickly to secure their admissions.

Reporting requires original documents alongside clear photocopies for institute verification. Candidates need their NEET UG scorecard, admit card, and allotment letter. Class 10 and 12 marksheets, valid photo identification, and photos are mandatory. Name and birth details must match across all documents.
Reserved category aspirants need valid certificates for the current financial year. Medical fitness reports, migration certificates, and transfer documents are also mandatory. Candidates must obtain official institute acknowledgements after fee formalities to confirm admission.
Candidates must understand resignation and seat upgrade guidelines before freezing their options. Free exit rules allow candidates to forfeit seats without losing security deposits. However, candidates seeking upgrades in Round 2 must indicate willingness on the portal.
The MCC handles admissions for central universities and autonomous institutes. State counselling authorities conduct separate admission rounds for state quota seats. Candidates should avoid double bookings between AIQ and state portals. Simultaneous seat holding across systems creates regulatory complications and potential penalties.
Beware of admission scams and fake agents promising seat guarantees. Candidates must perform all transactions solely through official counselling portals. Never share personal passwords or one-time passwords with third parties. Official notifications remain the only authentic source for guidelines.
Round 2 preparation requires careful strategy before choice filling begins on August 24. Unallotted aspirants should update preference lists based on available matrix data. Completing Round 1 reporting by August 22 ensures smooth progression in medical admissions.
