NEET UG Counseling 2026: MCC Publishes List of NRI Eligible Candidates for Round 1; 732 Candidates Meet Qualifications

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the list of candidates eligible for NRI status in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process, available on their official website, mcc.nic.in. A total of 732 candidates have qualified for category conversion, allowing them to participate in the first round of counselling. Students are advised to familiarize themselves with the MCC's document verification rules, which are crucial for the upcoming reporting process and subsequent admissions into MBBS and BDS programs.

The newly published NRI eligible candidates list is essential for students seeking admission under the supernumerary quota in the MCC NEET counselling. The list was compiled after a thorough verification of applications submitted via email, ensuring that only qualified candidates are included. Students can check their qualifying status by accessing the PDF document available on the MCC portal.

The category conversion list specifically includes candidates who have requested a change in their status from Indian to Non-Resident Indian. Over the past week, the evaluation committee meticulously reviewed thousands of requests, ultimately finalizing the list of 732 approved candidates based on their primary documentation claims. This process underscores the importance of accurate and complete documentation for students seeking to change their residency status.

As the counselling process progresses, the MCC has set important deadlines for candidates. The round 1 choice filling and locking process will conclude today, August 18, 2026, with the results for seat allotment expected to be announced on August 19, 2026. Candidates are encouraged to stay informed about these dates to ensure they do not miss any critical steps in the admission process.
