Why MCC Extended Date Again?
According to the official notice, the MCC received a high volume of appeals particularly from:
- NRI candidates, who often face additional administrative and documentation challenges.
- PwBD candidates, who require more inclusive and accessible systems for registration and choice locking.
- Candidates impacted by legal developments, especially those awaiting court decisions affecting their eligibility or categorisation.
To ensure transparency, fairness, and inclusive access, MCC decided to revise the timeline, allowing all affected groups sufficient opportunity to participate in Round 1 without losing their chance due to systemic delays.

This extension not only provides breathing space for students and parents but also ensures that medical institutions do not face the risk of vacant seats due to procedural rush or errors.

Candidates are advised to:
- Regularly check the official MCC website, mcc.nic.in, for real-time updates.
