The registration process will be completely online and candidates will have to provide data such as contact details, NEET 2022 Roll Number, Rank and Scores along with other mandatory details. Non-refundable registration fee and refundable security deposit also has to be paid.

Step 3: Choice Filling

In this segment, candidates will have to select colleges where they wish to take admission to. Registered candidates will have to log in to the MCC website with their credentials and then fill in choices. MCC states, “It is advised that after going through the list of seats available, a tentative list may be prepared first as per your preference of colleges, before attempting to fill choices on-line.”

Step 4: Choice Locking

The next step is the lock the choices entered by them. During the choice locking period, it is necessary to lock the choices to get a print of your submitted choices. Cautioning candidates, MCC states, “Don’t wait till the last minute to Register and Lock your choices and to take a printout. Please go through your submitted choices before locking, as once you lock the choices they cannot be modified or changed even if you have made a mistake.

MCC will release the seat allotment result for candidates who had registered and submitted choices following the due process. First, a provisional result will be released and candidates will be allowed to submit objections, if any and then, the final result or seat allotment list will be released. Based on their seat allotment, candidates can either accept and go for the institute reporting round. Or they may opt for upgradation of seats. In case of the latter, they will have to register for further rounds of counselling.

Step 7: Institute Reporting

In this final step, candidates will have to visit the institutes where they wish to take their medical admission in. This step involves verification of the hard copy of mandatory documents and payment of admission fees.

There will be four rounds of NEET 2022 counselling including the Mop-up round and Stray Vacancy round. At the end of each round, MCC will release the seat matrix. The number of counselling rounds may increase depending on the vacant seats.
