Can I have some idea about the seat I am likely to get at my rank?

Yes, the previous year allotment results are available on the MCC website. This will only be indicative (without any guarantee for the current year).

Is it necessary to fill up the choices and lock the choices to get seat allotted? Or I will be allotted seat automatically from available seats?

After online registration (registration is compulsory to take part in online allotment process), you have to fill in choice of subjects and Institutions/colleges in order of preference. Once choices are filled in, it can be modified before locking it. During the choice locking period it is necessary to lock the choices to get a print of your submitted choices.

Mistake in filling choices may result in allotment of a seat which you never wanted. Also, it won’t be possible to unlock your choices at MCC’s end.

Is it necessary to join allotted Medical College/Institute in Round-1 to get chance to participate in next round (2nd Round)?

If a candidate does not report at the allotted institute in Round-1, this will be considered as ‘Free Exit’ (option available only in Round-1). However, candidates who have not joined (the Round- 1 allotted seat) by availing the free exit option may participate again in Round-2 after logging in with their earlier Registration details.

In case a candidate wants to ensure /retain his/her Round -1 seat and wants to upgrade his/her allotted seat, he/she should join Round-1 seat and give willingness for Up-gradation at the allotted college.

However, if a candidate wants to participate directly in Round-2 without retaining the Round-1 seat he/she may not join the college and do choice filling for Round-2 since Round-1 has free exit option. In the above said case he/she cannot claim the Round-1 seat.

Please note that in case you are satisfied with the seat allotted to you in Round-1 and do not give willingness for up-gradation in Round-2 as ‘Yes’, you will not be considered eligible for participating in Round-2 i.e. for up-gradation of your choice.  

What is second round of online allotment process & who are eligible for the same?

 Round-2 of online allotment process is fresh allotment and up-gradation round wherein the candidates who have not registered initially during round-1 can register and participate for round-2.  Candidates who have joined Round-1 allotted seat can opt for up-gradation during Round- 2. And, candidates who were allotted Round-1 seat but did not join it, can also participate without fresh registration.

For upgradation the candidate(s) will have to physically report and join the allotted college/institute of round 1 and give willingness for upgradation.

Therefore, the following categories of Candidates are eligible for seat allotment in 2nd round:

Category–I: Registered candidates who did not get any seat allotted in the 1st round.

Category-II: Registered candidates, whose 1st round of allotted seat got Cancelled during the document verification on reporting for admission, who have secured seat under reserved quota, due to hange of Category from reserved to Unreserved or PwD status from Yes to No, but are still eligible in the next round of seat allotment, with changed Category, subject to fulfillment of eligibility conditions.
