Candidates are advised to visit the official MCC website (www.mcc.nic.in) from time to time for updated information or changes in schedule, if any. The extended timeline is expected to ease the rush among applicants and ensure a smoother counselling experience ahead of the final allotment process.
The extension is a reflection of MCC’s commitment to accommodating students and maintaining transparency during the admission to NEET UG 2025.
