- Physical reporting and document verification are mandatory for joining between October 1 and 9, 2026.
- Institutes will share joined candidates’ data with MCC by October 10.
Documents typically required for reporting (originals + photocopies; confirm with the allotted institute):
- Provisional allotment letter (downloaded from MCC portal)
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard/rank letter
- Class 10 certificate & marksheet (for date of birth)
- Class 12 certificate & marksheet
- Valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport, etc.)
- Passport-size photographs (same as NEET application)

What Happens Next?
Candidates not allotted a seat (or those who do not join) may become eligible for the Stray Vacancy Round (registration expected around mid-October; exact dates to be confirmed by MCC). State counselling schedules run on parallel timelines in many states.
Candidates are advised to stay updated only via mcc.nic.in and official notices. Prepare documents in advance and plan travel/reporting logistics promptly if allotted a seat.
