The United Doctors Front has urged the Health Ministry, MCC and NMC to address reported NEET PG 2026 counselling problems. Its complaints include Freeze/Float confusion, rejected grievance emails and concerns over the Round 1 allotment document. Candidates should check official MCC notices for verified updates.
The United Doctors Front (UDF) has urged the Union Health Ministry, Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and National Medical Commission (NMC) to address reported technical and administrative problems in NEET PG 2026 counselling. The complaints include confusion over Freeze/Float rules, rejected grievance emails and discrepancies in the Round 1 allotment document. The doctors' body has sought corrective action and a time-bound grievance resolution mechanism.
NEET PG 2026 Counselling: Issues Reported by Doctors
According to UDF, candidates have encountered several problems while navigating the online counselling process. The association has raised concerns about the implementation of revised procedures and the availability of official support channels.
The reported issues include:
- Website access failures during choice filling.
- Confusion over Freeze/Float rules and document verification.
- Grievance emails reportedly rejected because the recipient's inbox was full.
- Concerns about the withdrawal and replacement of the Round 1 provisional allotment PDF on October 23.
UDF said the replacement document was described as a correction of printing errors without changes to the underlying allotment result. The association has called for greater transparency and stronger verification procedures.
Freeze/Float Rules Create Confusion
MCC introduced Freeze and Float options for NEET PG 2026 counselling. Under the published guidelines, candidates selecting Float can seek an upgrade while following the prescribed online document verification process.
However, UDF alleged that some college nodal officers were asking Float candidates to report physically despite the online verification provisions. The association said inconsistent implementation has created additional uncertainty for students.
Candidates should consult the official MCC PG Medical Counselling portal and the PG counselling information bulletin for the applicable rules.
Doctors Seek Action on Grievance Email Failures
UDF also reported that candidates attempting to contact MCC through an email address displayed on their counselling dashboards received an error indicating that the recipient's inbox was out of storage space.
The association said discrepancies between contact details displayed on the portal and those listed in the information bulletin have complicated grievance submission. It also cited earlier complaints about non-functional email addresses associated with NMC's Post-Graduate Medical Education Board.
UDF has requested updated contact details, functional grievance channels and a monitored system for resolving complaints within a defined timeframe.
What Action Has UDF Demanded?
The doctors' body has urged authorities to issue uniform written instructions to participating institutions and train nodal officers on the revised counselling procedures. It has also called for an independent technical and administrative review of portal disruptions, allotment-document discrepancies and institutional coordination.
As of October 27, 2026, the cited reports do not establish that MCC has announced a specific corrective-action deadline in response to these demands. Candidates should follow official notifications for any confirmed changes.
