MCC Releases NEET PG 2026 Round 1 NRI Eligible Candidate List

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, has officially released the list of candidates eligible under the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) category for the first round of NEET PG 2026 counselling. This update is specifically intended for applicants who previously requested a category conversion, allowing them to verify their status ahead of the upcoming seat allocation process.

The list, which is now available on the official MCC website at mcc.nic.in, provides transparency for MBBS graduates whose nationality status has been provisionally converted to NRI for the 2026–27 academic session. Candidates can access the document directly without needing to log into their personal portals, enabling them to confirm that their registration details and roll numbers are correctly reflected before the final seat processing begins.

Details on NRI Eligibility and Seat Allotment

Following the conclusion of the choice-filling and choice-locking phase for the first round of counselling, the MCC has finalized the list of those who successfully passed the document scrutiny process. These candidates are now eligible to compete for NRI quota seats available across various Deemed Medical Institutions and Central Universities throughout the country. It is important to note that while the list confirms eligibility for the current round, all selected students will be required to present their original certificates during the physical reporting stage to finalize their admission.

The next major milestone in the counselling timeline is the announcement of the Round 1 seat allotment results, which is scheduled for October 24, 2026. The committee will process seat allocations based on the merit ranks achieved in the NEET PG examination and the specific preferences locked by the candidates during the earlier phase. Once the results are published in PDF format, students will need to use their secure login credentials to download their individual seat allotment letters to proceed with the next steps of the admission process.
