Why Choice Locking Is Important
Choice locking is a crucial step in the MCC counselling process. It allows candidates to confirm their final, prioritized list of college and course preferences before the seat allotment process begins. Once locked, this list is used directly by MCC for allotment, helping avoid last-minute errors or unintended changes to a candidate’s preference order.
Candidates who do not lock their choices within the given window may have their last-saved choice order automatically considered for allotment, so it is advisable to complete this step carefully and on time.
What Candidates Should Do Now
- Log in to the official MCC UG Medical Counselling portal
- Review the choice list carefully before locking
- Complete the choice locking process within the specified time window
- Keep checking the MCC website for further schedule updates
Stay Updated
Candidates are advised to regularly visit the official MCC website for updates on counselling schedules, seat allotment results, and reporting deadlines.
