MCC Opens Round 1 Seat Resignation and Withdrawal Window for NEET UG 2026

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially activated the resignation and seat withdrawal facility for candidates participating in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. This update applies to students who were allotted seats during the first round and have already completed the joining formalities at their respective institutions.

The facility is available for both candidates who opted for the 'Freeze' option and those who selected the 'Float' option. Students who have reconsidered their initial seat acceptance now have a formal window to withdraw from their allotted medical or dental college seats in accordance with the committee's established guidelines.

Important Deadlines and Reporting Requirements

According to the latest notification issued by the MCC, the deadline for submitting a resignation or withdrawal request is set for 1 PM on September 2, 2026. It is imperative that candidates adhere strictly to this timeline, as the committee has not indicated any extensions for this process.

Candidates who intend to resign from their Round 1 seat are required to follow the official resignation procedure mandated by the MCC. This process necessitates that students physically report to their allotted institute to complete the necessary documentation and formalities. The committee has provided specific notices for both 'Freeze' and 'Float' candidates, which outline the required steps for a successful withdrawal.

Guidelines for Seat Withdrawal

The MCC has emphasized that the resignation facility is specifically designed for those who have already joined their allotted colleges. Students are advised to review the official MCC NEET UG 2026 notices regarding security deposit rules and admission instructions before proceeding with their resignation. Failure to follow the prescribed steps during the physical reporting process may lead to complications regarding seat cancellation or the forfeiture of security deposits.

As the counselling process moves forward, candidates are encouraged to monitor the official MCC portal for any further updates or changes to the schedule. All students planning to withdraw must ensure they complete the process at their respective institutions well before the September 2, 2026, deadline to avoid any administrative issues.
