Choice Locking

The next step is to lock the choices entered by them. During the choice locking period, it is necessary to lock the choices to get a print of your submitted choices. Cautioning candidates, MCC stated, “Don’t wait till the last minute to register and lock your choices and to take a printout. Please go through your submitted choices before locking, as once you lock the choices, they cannot be modified or changed even if you have made a mistake. It may result in the allotment of a seat which you never wanted. Please note that the choices once locked cannot be unlocked even from MCC.”

Seat Allotment Result

MCC releases the seat allotment result separately for each round for participating candidates. First, a provisional result is released and candidates are allowed to submit objections if any and then the final result or seat allotment list is released. Based on their seat allotment, candidates can either accept or go for the institute reporting round. Or they could opt for an upgrade of the allotted seats. In the case of the latter, they had to register for further rounds of counselling.

Institute Reporting

In this step, candidates have to visit the institutes where they wish to take their medical admission, based on the allotment. This step involves verification of the hard copy of mandatory documents and payment of admission fees.

Verification by Universities and Processing of Seat Allotment

The universities and colleges verify the registration details of the joined candidates based on data shared by MCC.

Note: The seats that remain unfilled after all the rounds of NEET counselling at AIQ are given to the relevant states for the state-level counselling processes.
