MCC PG Counselling Round 2: Choice Filling Halted – New Update for Students

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released an important notice for students who are participating in PG Counselling Round 2 for NEET PG 2026. Many students were in the process of choosing their colleges when MCC suddenly paused the choice filling. This temporary halt created confusion among candidates and parents. To help you understand everything clearly, here is a simple explanation of the latest update.

What Did MCC Announce?

According to the official notice shown in the image, MCC has paused the choice filling process from 02:00 PM to 06:00 PM on 10 December 2026. The reason for this break is that MCC is adding or removing seats based on the latest information received from medical colleges.

Sometimes, students resign from the seats they earlier accepted. When this happens, these seats become vacant and are added back into the counselling system so that other students can get a chance. MCC is updating these seat changes for Round 2.

This means:
More choices may become available after the update
New seats may be added due to resignations
Some seats may be removed based on college information

When Will the Choice Filling Restart?

MCC clearly mentioned that the choice filling will restart after 06:00 PM on the same day. Students will then be able to continue filling choices until 11:55 PM on 12 December 2026.

So don’t panic. You will still have enough time to select your college and specialization.

When Will Choice Locking Start?

MCC also mentioned that the choice locking will start at 04:00 PM on 12 December 2026 and will be available until 11:55 PM the same day.

Choice Locking is important because once you lock your choices, they cannot be edited later. This step decides which college and course you may get in Round 2.

 What Is MCC and Why Is It Important?

MCC stands for Medical Counselling Committee. It works under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. MCC is responsible for conducting online counselling for:

• AIQ (All India Quota) 50% seats

• Central and Deemed Universities

• AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC seats

• DNB seats in some hospitals

Without MCC counselling, students cannot take admission into many top medical colleges in India.

 Why Did MCC Pause Choice Filling?

The halt was not a technical error. It was done for the benefit of students. MCC wants to:

✔ Add seats that became vacant
✔ Remove seats reported incorrectly
✔ Make the seat matrix fair for everyone

If these updates were not made, students could have lost the chance to choose newly available seats.

 How Should Students Respond to This Update?

Here are simple steps students should follow:

✔ Keep checking the official MCC website
✔ Avoid rushing during choice filling
✔ Wait until the updated seat list is visible
✔ Research colleges before locking choices
✔ Don’t lock choices without thinking
