Registration for All India counseling

Registration for All India counseling - Oct 25th - A few points on what can be expected - Post 1

  1. Registration starts tomorrow - 25th Oct (as per mcc.nic.in)

  2. Choice filling starts only from 26th Oct

  3. Official Seat matrix need not necessarily be released tomorrow. It will be released before choice filling starts. The unofficial being shared is for institutes to confirm. Even if you have seen that, reconfirm with the official seat matrix before choice filling. The site would be password protected soon.

  4. Tomorrow, on Oct 25th registration won’t necessarily start at 12 noon or 3 p.m. or 6 p.m. exactly. MCC may decide to open registration any time tomorrow. Right from tomorrow morning, you will have messages flooding forums asking why it hasn’t started yet, what time it started last year, when is it expected to start, and guesses on what Oct 25th actually means (12 noon, 6 p.m.,11.59 midnight or so on).

  5. You will also have the other extreme of candidates mentioning why mcc is playing with candidates lives by not starting on time, already counseling is delayed, what will happen to the one year preparation etc., seat matrix is not out but registration started etc. etc.

  6. You can get anxious looking at all this. Or stay calm knowing that every candidate who wanted to register, has registered every year and no one has missed out on registration.

  7. Expect it to start late on 25th, and dont be surprised even if it starts late night. Would feel good if it starts early. And for the first few hours there will be so many login issues due to over load which will result again in another flooding of messages. Stay out of the discussions. In fact would even suggest that you wait till 26th for registration. Maximum fee transaction failures happen on the first day due to overload.

  8. Keep calm, sleep early and register next day early morning - more than enough. Unlike NEET PG exam registration, where center choice is involved, in counseling there is no first registerer advantage.

  9. Even if it does not start on 25th don’t worry, you will have three more days just for registration, before choice filling. And in fact you can register even after choice filling starts.

  10. Remember that those who remain calm and don’t keep complaining throughout the process will make better decisions through out .

As of now have the following info ready as per last year MCC registration (Admit card or scorecard or application form may have this info

  1. NEET PG Roll no (the one that starts with 2166)

  2. NEET PG Application No (the one that starts with PG)

  3. Candidate’s name (as mentioned in the admit card)

  4. Date of Birth

  5. Mother’s name (as mentioned in the admit card, exactly with spaces, dots etc.)

  6. Mobile Number

  7. Email ID

(This year there is a change here in 6) and 7) where-in it is mentioned in the All india information bulletin that the email ID and mobile number will be pre-populated from the NBE registration. Some may have an issue if these are not available now. May need representation to MCC)

The verification of the above details is done during registration is done by the system, and only then you will be allowed to register. Candidates who have not qualified (less than cut-off criteria won’t be able to register - system based restriction)

Like it usually happens, let us say the Mother’s name entered is wrong or the form throws an error mentioning that some field is wrong. That would be most likely because you made a mistake missing out spaces or initials. So before complaining about MCC, and before looking for answers on FB or groups, calmly try to look where it could have gone wrong from your side. That would be the solution anyways.

Others

  1. Never share registration details with anyone. Counselors, agents, or anyone else even if close. You will be able to manage the entire process yourselves and there is no such help required. And all India counseling by MCC (rounds by MCC) happens transparently, and all allotments are shared with everyone. So don’t fall for false promises.

  2. No document upload is required during registration for All India counseling. Original Documents are required only at the time of admission.
