Step 1: Fresh Registration

• The registration window opened on 18 August 2026 at 3:00 PM

• It will close on 27 August 2026 at 11:00 AM

• During this phase, candidates must fill the online application form, pay the required registration fees, and deposit the security amount

Step 2: Registration Unlocking

• This feature allows candidates to make corrections to their submitted application if any errors were made during initial registration

• Registration unlocking is available up to 27 August 2026 at 9:00 AM

• Use this window wisely to review and rectify all details

Step 3: Remove Discrepancy

Important: Registration will close permanently at 11:00 AM on 27 August. No extensions have been announced. Complete all activities, including unlocking and discrepancy removal, before the deadline.

Choice Filling: Strategic Selection Matters

Choice filling is one of the most critical stages of the counselling process. The choices you make determine which college and course you may be allotted.

Choice Filling Window

• Opens on 27 August 2026 at 2:00 PM

• Closes on 29 August 2026 at 12:00 Noon

Strategic Tips for Choice Filling

• Research Colleges Thoroughly – Review the college information sheets, fee structures, and seat availability before the window opens. Knowledge of each institution’s strengths and limitations will help you make informed decisions.

• Prioritize Wisely – Arrange your preferred colleges and courses in descending order of priority. Your highest preference should be your dream college, followed by realistic options.

• Include Safety Options – While it’s important to aim high, also include realistic and safety options to ensure you don’t go seatless. A balanced preference list is key to a successful allotment.

• Lock Before Deadline – Choice locking is mandatory for seat allotment. The window closes at 12:00 Noon on 29 August. Don’t wait until the last minute to lock your choices.

• Double-Check Everything – Review your filled choices multiple times before submitting. One wrong preference can change your career trajectory.

Note: You will have approximately 46 hours, from 2:00 PM on 27 August to 12:00 Noon on 29 August, to complete choice filling. Use this time efficiently but don’t rush into decisions.

Merit List and Allotment: The Moment of Truth

Once choice filling closes, the counselling authority will publish the merit list and conduct seat allotment.

Merit List Publication

• The merit list will be published on 29 August 2026

• This list will rank candidates based on their NEET UG scores and applicable category reservations

Allotment Result

• The Round 1 allotment result will be declared on 31 August 2026

• Candidates can check their allotment status on the official TRMCC portal

• If allotted a seat, you will receive an allotment order that must be downloaded and printed

What If You’re Not Allotted? If you do not receive a seat in Round 1, don’t lose hope. Subsequent rounds of counselling will be conducted to fill remaining seats. Stay updated through the official portal.

Nomination Collection and Admission: Final Hurdle

If you are allotted a seat in Round 1, you must complete the following steps to secure your admission.
