MCC Counselling 2026 – Common Mistakes to Avoid
From Dr. SR Prajapati’s experience of guiding 1000+ students — top mistakes students make:
❌ Mistake 1: Forgetting to Lock Choices
Many students fill choices but don’t lock them. Unlocked choices are automatically locked by the system as per schedule — but sometimes technical issues can cause allotment to be missed. Always lock manually.
❌ Mistake 2: Filling Only Favourite Colleges
Students fill only 5-10 colleges. There is no limit on choices in MCC — you can fill 200-300 choices too. The more choices, the better the chance of getting a seat.
❌ Mistake 3: Ignoring Deemed Universities
Some students don’t consider deemed universities at all. If your rank is slightly short and you don’t get a government seat, deemed universities are a good option — especially the top-ranked ones.
❌ Mistake 4: Closing the Security Deposit Account
Many students pay the security deposit from a separate account and then close that account. Refund goes to the same account from which payment was made. Keep the account active until the refund arrives.
❌ Mistake 5: Only Doing AIQ Counselling, Missing State Counselling
MCC AIQ covers 15% seats. State quota 85% seats are filled through state counselling. Register in both simultaneously — missing one means missing the majority of seats.
❌ Mistake 6: Thinking of Leaving Seat After Round 3
Resigning after joining a Round 3 seat is not allowed. Think before participating in Round 3 — whether you want to participate or not.

MCC NEET Counselling 2026 – Expert Strategy by Dr. SR Prajapati
After guiding 1000+ students, here is a proven strategy:
Phase 1 — Immediately After NEET Result:
- Calculate your expected rank using rank predictors
- Identify target colleges (Government AIQ + State Quota + Deemed)
- Register on Day 1 as soon as the MCC registration window opens
Phase 2 — Choice Filling:
- First, list AIIMS colleges (if rank is strong)
- Then Government Medical Colleges (low fees, high value)
- Then Central Universities / JIPMER
- Then Deemed Universities (backup options)
- Fill minimum 100-200 choices
Phase 3 — After Round 1 Allotment:
- If you got a government seat — carefully decide whether you want to upgrade in Round 2 or not
- If no seat — re-participate in Round 2 with fresh choices
- Simultaneously participate in state counselling as well
Phase 4 — Round 3 & SVR:
- If still no seat — aggressively register for SVR
- In SVR, deemed university seats are often available even at lower ranks
