The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) released the provisional PG-2026 Round 1 seat allotment list on 23 October 2026. For MD and MS aspirants who locked their choices, the NEET PG Counselling 2026 Round 1 Result is the first major checkpoint of this admission cycle.
There is one catch. MCC calls this list indicative and subject to change, so it is not the final allotment. Candidates should not rush to their colleges yet.
Anyone who spots an error has a short window. MCC says discrepancies can be reported until 11:30 AM on 24 October 2026 through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System on the candidate login portal.

What Is the Latest Update?
MCC’s Notice 5 (Ref. U-12021/09/2026-MEC), dated and posted on 23 October 2026, confirms that the provisional result for PG-2026 Counselling Round 1 is now available.
The notice makes three points clear:
- Discrepancies must reach MCC by 11:30 AM on 24 October 2026.
- The provisional result is only indicative, and candidates cannot claim any right over the seat shown in it. It also cannot be challenged before a court of law.
- Candidates should approach the allotted college or institute only after the final result is declared.
The official provisional Round 1 seat allotment PDF lists 28,723 allotment entries, with the final entry numbered 28,723.
Candidates should check their allotment details carefully and report any discrepancies through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System on the candidate login portal by 11:30 AM on 24 October 2026.
Since the list is provisional, candidates should wait for MCC’s final result before approaching the allotted college.
Earlier, MCC had extended the choice-filling deadline at candidates’ request. According to the MCC website, candidates could fill and lock their choices until 12:00 noon on 22 October 2026.

How to Check the Round 1 Seat Allotment Result
- Open the official MCC PG Medical Counselling portal.
- Go to the candidate login section.
- Log in with your registered credentials.
- Open the Round 1 result and view your allotment status.
- Download and save a copy.
- If anything looks wrong, file a query in the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System before the deadline.

Avoid unofficial “result links” or messages asking for money. Your result is available only through your MCC login.
MD and MS Seat Allotment and Cutoff Details
A few terms decide what you see in the allotment list.
- Allotment: The seat MCC assigns after matching your rank, category and locked choices with available seats.
- Rank: Your position based on NEET PG performance. A better rank improves your chance at a preferred seat.
- Cutoff: The qualifying cutoff decides who is eligible to participate. The closing rank is the last rank that received a particular college and course in a round. People often mix the two up.
- Category: Seats follow reservation rules, so closing ranks differ by category.
- College and course choice: Your locked order of choices drives the result. A choice you did not lock cannot be allotted.
Notice 5 contains no official MD or MS closing rank or cutoff, so none is published here. Treat figures circulating on social media as unconfirmed until they match MCC’s data.
Since a provisional allotment can change after grievances are reviewed, nobody should treat a seat as settled based on the NEET PG Counselling 2026 Round 1 Result alone.
What Should Candidates Do After Seat Allotment?
Verify first. Check your name, rank, category, course and college against your registration details. Raise genuine errors before the deadline.
Wait for the final result. MCC has asked candidates to approach the allotted institute only after it is declared.
Read the reporting rules. Media reports describe a Freeze and Float system in the 2026 scheme, where candidates either accept the seat or try for an upgrade in the next round. This is not confirmed from an official PG document here, so check the exact rules in the PG Information Bulletin 2026.
Prepare documents and travel. Keep originals and scanned copies ready. The published schedule lists 26 October to 2 November 2026 for reporting, so plan early.
Candidates hoping for a better seat should also watch Round 2. Media reports mention registration from 6 to 11 November and a result on 14 November 2026, but these dates are not confirmed from an official PDF.
Documents Required for Reporting
The official PG 2026 reporting checklist could not be verified for this article. Candidates should rely on the Information Bulletin and the notice issued with the final result.
In earlier PG counselling cycles, candidates were generally asked for the NEET PG admit card and scorecard, the medical registration certificate, MBBS and internship documents, identity proof, and category or disability certificates where applicable. Requirements can vary by candidate and institution, so use this only as a preparation guide.
