Plan your choices for 2026 Round 2

MCC is the Medical Counselling Committee, which runs All India counselling. NIRF is the government's national ranking of institutions. PwD means persons with disabilities. DNB seats are run by the National Board of Examinations (NBEMS). DA is dearness allowance, paid on top of some stipends.

For 2026 Round 2, each seat's latest closing rank is multiplied by how much closing ranks moved between the same two rounds last year. The factor comes from the seat itself when it had two or more seats, otherwise from the same program at colleges with similar ranks. Tested on last year (2025 Round 1 to Round 2), the median error was 9.9 percent and 79.0 percent of seats landed within 20 percent.

Under each estimate is an estimated range. Last year, 8 in 10 estimates landed inside a range of this width, from 83 to 126 percent of the estimate. This year can still differ, so use the assumptions panel to test tougher or easier competition.

MCC publishes seat lists before each round. Choose the round under Seat list round. Open means a clear vacancy. May open means a virtual vacancy, a seat that frees up only if its holder upgrades. New means a newly added seat. By default only seats that are open or may open are shown. If a seat is not in these lists, it is not shown as available. MCC can revise the lists before allotment.

Very likely means your rank is at least 15 percent better than the estimated closing rank, better than the low end of its estimated range, and better than last year's closing in the same round. Even chance means your rank is better than the estimate but does not pass every check for Very likely. It is not a measured 50 percent chance. Borderline means up to 15 percent worse. Unlikely means further away. A seat that is only a virtual vacancy says "if it opens", because it frees up only if its holder upgrades. These are estimates, not promises.

A new allotment in a later round can replace the seat you hold, so check the current MCC upgrade rules. Enter your current seat under Your priorities, and the analyzer flags any choice you rate lower than it, and the builder leaves those out.

NMC guidelines limit which specialties suit each type of disability. Check the PwBD guidelines on mcc.nic.in before choosing.

A seat with no allotment in the published results is estimated from the best matching colleges. Those are colleges in the same state with the same program, then other new or young colleges, then colleges across India. Each estimate names the colleges it used.

Reserved candidates can also take Open seats, so a seat is judged on the more lenient of Open and your category. Use your All India Rank. OBC means the Central OBC list.

The best and last All India Rank allotted in that round for that college, program, quota and allotted category. Later rounds show only fresh allotments and upgrades in that round.

MCC figures are what each college declared. Where a college wrote the fee in words, it was read by hand and labelled so. A range runs from pre clinical to clinical subjects unless the note says otherwise. Confirm fees with the college.

Each college opens with a checklist of what is available: fee, stipend, past ranks, Round 2 seats, MCC profile and website. Inside, anything MCC did not publish is listed in one place, and anything not found in reliable sources is listed separately. Nothing is guessed to fill a gap. Where the fee is not published, the money planner says so and does not count the seat as earning.

Each seat shows the fee per year and the stipend per month for each year, then subtracts your monthly living costs. The end amount is what is left over, or the loss, after 3 years for MD and MS or 2 years for diplomas. Bond amounts are not included. MCC does not say whether stipends are monthly, and they are treated as monthly. Stipends are published per college, with a separate diploma figure where the college gives one.

The bond badge means the college uploaded a bond document to MCC, or its MCC conditions mention a bond, penalty or compulsory service. Where that document states the service years or penalty, the badge shows them, with the quote in the college's bond panel. Otherwise the published state or institute rule is shown. No badge means none was found, not that none exists.

Armed Forces, Delhi University, IP University, Aligarh, Banaras and minority quotas have their own eligibility. State quota, deemed and central university seats are outside this list. MCC lists DNB (NBEMS) seats under separate DNB hospital codes. They are matched to these colleges by name and address and appear in the next round seat counts. A few could not be matched, and their DNB programs show past ranks only.

When MCC publishes the next round's files and this page is rebuilt, estimates move on to the following round. Check the round shown before using them.

Caution money and hostel deposits are collected at admission and refunded at the end, often minus deductions. Some colleges have charged far more than a state cap, for example 1.7 lakh against a 50,000 cap in Maharashtra.

Some colleges demand a full year's hostel fee up front. The NMC has said PG students cannot be forced to stay in the hostel.

University registration, eligibility and yearly exam fees are often billed separately, for example about 27,250 a year in one government college fee sheet.

The amount credited can be lower than the stated stipend because of income tax, NPS or PF and accommodation charges. Whether the stipend is taxable has been disputed, so check with a tax adviser.

Where MCC says stipend plus DA, the DA is paid on top and is not included in the planner, so the real amount can be higher.

Leaving a seat or skipping bonded service can cost lakhs. Read each college's bond and conditions panel before choosing.

Mess, rent outside the hostel, travel, books, thesis printing and conferences are personal costs. Enter your own monthly figure in the planner.
