Eligible candidates can apply for admission to MD, MS and other postgraduate medical courses across four rounds. Round 1 registration and fee payment runs from 12 to 21 October, with choice locking from 13 to 22 October. Seat allotment will take place on 22 and 23 October, with results published on 24 October. Candidates who secure seats must report to their allotted colleges between 26 October and 2 November. The counselling fee is Rs 1,000 for general category and Rs 500 for SC, ST and OBC candidates under the 50 per cent All India Quota and central university seats. Security deposits are Rs 25,000 for general and Rs 10,000 for reserved categories, rising to Rs 2 lakh for deemed university seats. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The four-round counselling schedule gives candidates a tight window to lock choices and report to allotted colleges, with the first round alone spanning registration to joining within three weeks. MCC’s fee structure creates a significant cost difference between All India Quota seats and deemed university seats, where the security deposit jumps to Rs 2 lakh for all categories. Candidates must prepare scanned copies of certificates in advance, since the registration portal requires document uploads alongside fee payment. The official website mcc.nic.in remains the sole channel for applying, choice locking and result viewing across all rounds. ## Coverage - tv9hindi.com Straight schedule and process reporting, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
