The closing rank for a particular seat depends on the institution, quota and category. Candidates should review the relevant allotment list rather than relying only on a headline rank.
Candidates can follow these steps to check their allotment status:
Visit the official MCC website at https://mcc.nic.in/.
Open the NEET UG counselling section.
Go to the current events or results section.
Find the UG counselling stray vacancy round allotment result for 2026.
Open the result PDF and search for the candidate’s rank or other relevant details.
Verify the allotted college, course, quota, category and any remarks mentioned in the list.
Follow the official instructions for reporting and completing admission formalities.
Candidates who have been allotted seats should carefully read the latest MCC instructions and complete the prescribed admission process within the applicable deadline. They should verify all details in the allotment letter and contact the allotted institution if clarification is needed.
Candidates affected by a change in category or quota for the same course and institution should pay particular attention to MCC’s instructions. The counselling guidance reported by the media states that affected candidates may need to obtain a relieving letter and a fresh admission letter for the revised allotment.
Applicants should not rely solely on an earlier allotment list. They should check the latest official result
