NEET UG Counselling: To help medical colleges fill seats, MCC opens a site

A letter inviting medical colleges to enter their seats at the official portal, mcc.nic.in, was sent by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on July 16. This comes while students await the NEET UG Supreme Court ruling and a definite date for counselling of the 2024 academic session.

For UG counselling 2024, the committee will take seat details from participating institutions through July 20 on the intramcc portal.

“Institutes participating in UG Counselling 2024 are hereby informed that intramcc portal for contribution of UG seats is open now. Hence, Institutes are requested to start entering their seats on the portal at the earliest so that the process of seats contribution can be completed timely,” read the official notice.

The notification further states that the user ID and passport required by the institution to access the site are the same as they were in prior years. Additionally, if users want to create a new password or have forgotten their old one, they can use the "Forgot Password" feature.

The MCC can be contacted by the institution at 011-69227413, 69227416, 69227419, and 69227423 between 10 am and 6 pm, if it has any technical questions.

Further, the centre has announced that counselling for NEET UG 2024 would start in the third week of July and last for four rounds. However, during or after counselling, if students are discovered to be engaging in any unethical behaviour, their enrolment will be terminated.

In addition to seats set aside for the kids of Insured Persons (IP quota) at ESIC medical colleges and Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune, the NEET UG counselling will feature 15 percent of all India quota seats at various central universities, government colleges, and deemed universities.

Meanwhile, a bench led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud would hear all NEET UG 2024-related petitions before the Supreme Court on July 18.
