Candidates who have been allotted a seat in Round 2 have to report to their respective allotted medical college by 18 September 2021. Candidates are advised to keep their original as well as attested copies of their supporting documents ready to be presented when needed.
The MCC counselling process consists of 15% All India Quota seats, seats in institutions and quota categories managed by the MCC, while state authorities conduct their own counselling processes for State Quota seats. Candidates who did not get a seat in Round 1 Round 2 gives them another opportunity. However, the priority should be on a realistic list. Focus should be more on the quality of the preference list.
