Important Instructions for Students
While the notice is primarily addressed to medical colleges, NEET UG 2026 candidates should keep the following points in mind before and during counselling:
- Cross-check seat availability before filling choices: Confirm that a college and its intake are actually listed in the official 2026-27 seat matrix on nmc.org.in before selecting it during AIQ or State Quota counselling.
- Do not expect INI seats in this list: This seat matrix excludes Institutes of National Importance such as AIIMS and JIPMER; their seats are notified separately.
- Watch for revisions: MARB has clarified the matrix may be revised based on Appeal Committee or other competent authority decisions. Recheck the official website closer to your counselling round in case an updated matrix has been uploaded.
- Only approved seats are valid: Colleges are permitted to admit students strictly against the seats approved in this matrix, so an admission offer for a seat not reflected in the matrix is not valid.
- Track counselling dates separately: This NMC/MARB notice does not announce the NEET UG 2026 counselling schedule; refer to the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) or respective state counselling authority website for registration and round-wise dates.
