NEET UG 2026 Counselling: MCC Allows Resignation From Round 1, 2 Seats; Check Details Here

The MCC NEET UG 2026 counselling process has introduced separate seat resignation facilities for candidates holding seats from Round 1 and Round 2. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued notices allowing eligible candidates to resign or withdraw from allotted seats subject to specific conditions.

The latest MCC NEET UG 2026 seat resignation update is important for candidates who have joined a seat but now want to leave it before the next counselling stage. However, candidates must follow the prescribed online resignation procedure and check whether their security deposit will be forfeited. The MCC website currently lists separate notices for Round 1 Freeze and Round 2 Float candidates.

MCC NEET UG 2026 Seat Resignation: What Is the Latest Update?

MCC has been issuing round-specific resignation notices rather than applying one common withdrawal rule to every candidate.

The official MCC portal lists a notice for resignation of Round 1 Freeze candidates dated September 12, 2026, along with a separate Round 2 Float Resign notice. This means candidates must identify their counselling round and status before initiating resignation.

For Round 2, the final allotment result was released on September 12, while candidates allotted seats in that round were required to report to their respective institutes during the specified reporting period.

MCC NEET UG 2026 Seat Resignation Rules: Round-Wise Details

The applicable resignation conditions depend on whether the candidate is a Round 1 or Round 2 seat holder and whether the candidate selected Freeze or Float.

Candidates should not rely on a general assumption that every MCC seat can be surrendered without penalty. The official notices specify the conditions for each category.

NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Resignation: Security Deposit Rules

For the special Round 1 Freeze resignation facility, MCC allowed eligible candidates to resign within the notified window without forfeiture of the security deposit.

The September 12 notice specifically covers Round 1 Freeze candidates and prescribes the procedure for completing the resignation. Earlier in the counselling cycle, MCC had also allowed eligible Round 1 Freeze and Float candidates to withdraw or resign within a specified window without security-deposit forfeiture.

For Freeze candidates, merely informing the college or leaving the seat is not sufficient. The prescribed resignation documentation must be generated through the MCC process.

How to Resign From MCC NEET UG 2026 Seat?

Candidates seeking to resign should use the procedure specified in their applicable MCC notice. The exact process differs between Freeze and Float candidates.

Generally, candidates should:

1. Log in to the official MCC NEET UG counselling portal.
2. Check the resignation facility available against their candidate account.
3. Read the applicable Round 1 or Round 2 resignation notice.
4. Complete the online resignation or withdrawal process as instructed.
5. Generate and retain the Seat Withdrawal Slip or Resignation Letter, wherever applicable.
6. Follow any institute-level reporting requirement specified by MCC.
7. Keep the generated acknowledgement safely for future reference.

For certain Freeze candidates, physical reporting at the allotted institute and generation of the resignation document by the institute's Nodal Officer are part of the prescribed process. Failure to complete the required procedure can make the resignation null and void.
