New Delhi, 16 October 2026: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has asked all participating medical colleges, institutes and hospitals to check the seat matrix for NEET PG Counselling 2026. The instruction came in a notice posted on 15 October (Notice No. 4, reference U-12021/09/2026-MEC).
The notice arrives as candidates enter the last days of Round 1 choice filling. MCC wants institutions to check the number of seats listed for each postgraduate medical course and report any mistake before the choice-filling window closes.
What Does the Notice Ask For?
If an institute finds a mistake in its published seat details, it must inform MCC within the given time. The notice gives adgme@nic.in as the contact email.
This instruction is mainly for institutions. It does not bring in a new registration deadline, a separate process for candidates to report seat errors, or an extension of the Round 1 schedule. It also does not say that any seats have been added or removed.
