The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued an important notice for candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 of UG Counselling 2026, joined the allotted institute, but now wish to resign or withdraw from that seat.

As per MCC Notice No. 16 dated August 31, 2026, the resignation/seat withdrawal facility has been opened specifically for Freeze candidates who had joined their Round 1 allotted seat through MCC counselling.

Candidates who have changed their decision after joining the college should carefully check the deadline and resignation procedure because the process has to be completed within the specified time.

MCC NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Resignation Dates

The resignation facility is available for a limited period.

Candidates who want to resign from their Round 1 joined seat can do so from:

Start: August 31, 2026, at 2:00 PM
Last Date: September 2, 2026, up to 1:00 PM

This means candidates have to complete the resignation process within this specific window. Missing the deadline may affect their ability to resign under this facility.

Who Can Resign Their Round 1 Seat?

The facility is meant for Freeze candidates who were allotted a Round 1 seat through MCC UG Counselling 2026 and had already joined the allotted institute.

If a candidate has joined the college but now wants to leave the seat, MCC has provided this specific resignation/withdrawal window.

Candidates should not assume that simply informing the college or leaving the institution will complete the resignation. MCC has prescribed a specific procedure that needs to be followed.

How to Resign From an MCC Round 1 Seat?

Candidates who wish to resign should follow the process specified by MCC.

1. Physically Report to the Allotted Institute

The candidate has to physically report at the institute where the Round 1 seat was allotted to resign from the seat.

This is an important requirement. Candidates should contact the concerned institute and complete the resignation formalities within the stipulated period.

2. Complete the Resignation Through the MCC Process

The resignation has to be properly recorded through the mechanism provided by MCC.

The institute’s Nodal Officer is responsible for generating the Resignation Letter/Seat Withdrawal Slip online through the MCC portal.

Candidates should make sure that this document is generated successfully.

3. Collect and Keep the Resignation Document

Once the resignation/withdrawal process has been completed, candidates should keep a copy of the resignation letter or seat withdrawal slip for their records.

This document can be important as proof that the resignation was officially processed.

Will the Security Deposit Be Forfeited?

There is some relief for candidates who complete the resignation within the specified time.

According to the MCC notice, resignation submitted within the stipulated period will be without forfeiture of the Security Deposit.

Therefore, candidates who have decided to leave their Round 1 seat should make sure that the resignation is completed within the deadline rather than waiting until the last moment.

What Happens If the Resignation Letter Is Not Generated?

This is one of the most important points in the MCC notice.

Candidates are advised to ensure that their Resignation Letter/Seat Withdrawal Slip is generated online through the MCC portal by the Nodal Officer of the admitted institute.

If the required document is not generated, the resignation will be treated as “Null & Void.”

So, merely physically visiting the college or submitting a request may not be sufficient. Candidates should verify that the online resignation process has been completed and the required document has been generated.
