The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has added some MD, MS and PG DNB seats and removed others from NEET PG 2026 Round 2 counselling. Its 11 November notice says it will use the updated seat list for allotment. If you have already filled your choices, check the college, branch and quota again before locking them. Choice locking opens at 4 pm on 14 November and closes at 11:55 pm on 15 November.

Which seats changed in Round 2?

At Dr B R Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences in Mohali, the list shows two open-category MS General Surgery seats removed from the All India quota. It also shows two MS ENT seats removed, one open and one SC. These entries refer to specific seats in this round, not to the closure of either course.

In Mumbai, the notice lists one open-category MD Anaesthesiology seat at the Institute of Naval Medicine, INHS Asvini, as an addition under Armed Forces Medical. Other rows change the quota of existing seats. For example, one DNB Emergency Medicine seat at Base Hospital, Delhi Cantt, moves to the Armed Forces Medical Services quota. A quota change does not create another seat.

These are examples from the five-page list attached to MCC's notice. To check a preference, find the institute in the list and read across the same row: two seats with the same branch name can have different quotas or categories. MCC also posts separate Round 2 lists for clear vacancies, virtual vacancies and newly added seats.

When do registration and choice locking close?

Registration, payment and choice locking have different deadlines. A candidate who still needs to register cannot wait until the choice-locking deadline on 15 November.

All dates are in November 2026. MCC uses its server time for the cut-offs. The 16 November result is provisional; the reporting period follows the final result scheduled for 17 November.
