Step-by-step: how to register and complete formalities for Round 2

Official wording and transparency
The MCC notice reads, “In order to include newly authorized MBBS seats in Round-2 of UG Counselling 2025, the competent authority has decided to start the Round-2 of UG Counselling 2025 from 29th August, 2025 tentatively. However, the revised schedule for Round-2 will be published shortly.” Candidates should rely on MCC’s website for the definitive schedule and updates.
After allotment: verification and reporting
If allotted a seat, candidates must complete document verification and pay tuition or acceptance fees as per the institute and MCC timelines. Failure to report within stipulated windows will lead to forfeiture of the allotted seat. Those who choose to freeze a seat must follow the freeze, float and slide rules published by MCC for subsequent rounds.
