NEW DELHI, JUL 29 (PTI): The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Union health ministry has introduced a series of improvements in the NEET-UG 2026 counselling process in an effort to make the admission process “more transparent and student friendly”. “I wish to draw your attention to the fact that NEET-UG 2026 counselling is to commence shortly. “Their admission shall remain valid in the counselling system while participating in subsequent rounds, subject to the applicable counselling rules,” the letter said. “Candidates may now submit resignation from their allotted seat through the MCC Counselling Portal, wherever permissible under the counselling rules and within the prescribed timelines” it stated. To ensure smooth implementation of the changes, the MCC is organising orientation and capacity-building programmes for all concerned stakeholders, including medical institutions.
