Who Should Check This Schedule?

Candidates participating in MCC’s NEET UG 2026 counselling should verify whether they are eligible to participate in the relevant special stray or subsequent BDS/B.Sc. Nursing round. Do not assume that registration in an earlier round automatically guarantees eligibility for every later round. Read the official counselling rules, seat status and instructions before taking any action.
