What the Vacancy Figure Tells Candidates
These figures cover MBBS seats in MCC's round. Dental and nursing allotments are counted separately and are not included in this total.
About 57% of the MBBS seats offered in this round went to candidates, while 43% remained unallotted.
Allotment Is Not the Same as Joining
The distinction matters while college reporting is open:
Allotment: MCC counts a seat as allotted when it assigns that seat to a candidate.
Joining: The candidate must then complete admission at the college.
What 411 measures: The number of seats that had no allottee at the allotment stage.
What is not yet known: The number still vacant after the reporting deadline closes.
What Allotted Candidates Must Do
Check the college named on your allotment letter.
Follow that college's joining instructions.
Report in person by 16 November 2026 — the reporting window runs from 7 to 16 November.
What the Vacancy Figure Does Not Mean
For candidates still seeking a seat, the 411 unallotted seats do not reopen registration or choice filling:
Registration for this round closed on 4 November 2026.
Choice filling closed on 5 November 2026.
A further opportunity to apply would require a separate counselling announcement from MCC.
