NEET UG Counselling 2026 to introduce one-time physical reporting, online verification reforms
NEET UG Counselling 2026 will introduce one-time physical reporting for candidates who select the Freeze option after seat allotment.
Candidates opting for the Float option can complete admission formalities online, including document verification, without physical reporting until final seat allocation.
Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda reviewed the preparedness of the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for a transparent and technology-enabled counselling process.
The counselling will include enhanced support for PwBD candidates, expanded assessment centres, cybersecurity measures, and grievance redressal systems.
The process for MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing seats is expected to begin soon, with upgrades available until the final round.
