Deemed University MD/MS Admission 2026 —
Rank, Deposit and Real Cost
In one line: MCC fills 100% of deemed-university PG seats by NEET PG rank. Know the deposit, the exit rules and the three-year bill before you lock a choice.
Last verified · 10 November 2026 · against the MCC PG Information Bulletin 2026 (draft V10, 5 October 2026), MCC’s tentative schedule and the round rules; check mcc.nic.in for each round’s notice
The short answer. Deemed-university MD/MS seats are filled only by MCC on NEET PG rank, 15% for NRI candidates. Round 1 allows free exit; from Round 2 a late exit forfeits the deposit (Rs 2,00,000 in the draft bulletin). Fees are set by the college, not MCC. Seats are allotted only through counselling; no college, consultant or agent can sell or reserve one, and capitation fee is illegal in India. Pay only through the official portal or to the college, against a receipt.
Deemed MD/MS Seats:
One Route, One Rank List
| Point | What the MCC bulletin says |
|---|---|
| Who counsels | MCC counsels 100% of the PG seats of deemed universities (and central universities), not only the 50% All India Quota of government colleges |
| NRI share | 15% of deemed-university seats are allocated to NRI candidates; the NRI category is proved through MCC document verification |
| Minority seats | Some deemed universities reserve seats for Jain or Muslim minority candidates |
| Unfilled NRI and minority seats | After Round 3, NRI and minority seats with no eligible candidate move to deemed-university unreserved merit |
| Domicile | None. Eligible candidates from every state compete on NEET PG All India Rank |
| Merit | Strictly by NEET PG 2026 rank and your choice list. There is no direct admission, management window or donation route |

What You Can Lose
If You Exit Late
| Round | Rule that decides your money | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Free exit: you may leave an allotted seat without forfeiture | Join, or take the free exit, before the joining date |
| Round 2 | Exit with forfeiture: not joining or surrendering an allotted seat forfeits the security deposit | Lock only seats you will actually join |
| Round 3 | No resignation is allowed. Non-joining forfeits the deposit | Treat a Round 3 allotment as final |
| Stray vacancy | Forfeiture if the allotted seat is not joined | Register only if you will join |
| Upgrade | Freeze means you report physically; Float means you wait for an upgrade online. Offline resignation is not accepted | Choose Freeze or Float with the next round in mind |
Deposit size. The deemed-university security deposit in the draft bulletin is Rs 2,00,000, far above the deposit for government All India Quota seats. Refund starts only after all rounds end. Check the amount in the notice of the round you register for; it is paid on the MCC portal, never to a person.
Fees Are Fixed by the College,
Not by MCC
| Cost item | How to get the real number |
|---|---|
| Tuition for 3 years | Not set by MCC. The bulletin tells candidates to confirm the fee structure with the college, especially deemed universities, and says MCC will not entertain complaints about it. Read the 2026-27 fee schedule on the university’s own website before you lock the choice |
| NRI quota fee | Charged by the university, often in US dollars, paid from the sponsor’s foreign or NRE account. See the sourced notices in our NRI MD/MS guide |
| Hostel, mess, university charges | Printed in the joining notice. We list them for 25 colleges in our reporting guide |
| Security deposit | Refundable, but forfeited on a late exit (table above) |
| Bond or discontinuation bond | Set by each college and listed on the MCC website; MCC takes no responsibility for it. Read it before you pay |
| Stipend | Varies by college; ask the college for the 2026-27 stipend table |
A branch can change the total by tens of lakhs at the same university, so compare the three-year total, not the first-year fee. Our management quota guide shows how branch drives the bill, and our Rajasthan fee table shows sourced private-college figures.

From Registration
to Joining
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Register on mcc.nic.in with your NEET PG roll number and pay the registration fee and security deposit for deemed universities in the dates of the round |
| 2 | Study the round’s seat matrix and last year’s round-wise allotments on the MCC site; list colleges by branch you want, not by name alone |
| 3 | Check each college’s 2026-27 fee, bond and stipend before you add it to your list |
| 4 | Fill and lock choices before the lock time; the list order is your priority order |
| 5 | After the result, choose Freeze (report to the college) or Float (wait for upgrade) as the round allows |
| 6 | Report with original documents and pay the fee only to the college, against a receipt |
Typical documents: NEET PG 2026 scorecard and admit card, MBBS pass and mark sheets, internship certificate, NMC or State Medical Council registration, identity proof, category or NRI documents, passport photographs, the MCC allotment letter and the security deposit receipt. Each college’s joining notice is the final list.
Seven Errors
That Cost Candidates Lakhs
| Mistake | Why it hurts |
|---|---|
| Locking a seat you cannot afford | From Round 2 a late exit forfeits the deposit; Round 3 allows no resignation |
| Choosing by college name, not by branch and total fee | The same university can differ by tens of lakhs between branches |
| Paying a “confirmation” to an agent | Seats are given only by MCC allotment; a payment outside the portal buys nothing and is illegal capitation if linked to a seat |
| Assuming a government-college fee at a deemed university | MCC does not set deemed fees; the college does |
| Skipping the bond clause | Bonds and discontinuation bonds are set by the college; read them before you join |
| Waiting for the last hour | Portals slow near a deadline and a missed lock can end the round for you |
| Believing “management seat in a deemed university” offers | MCC fills deemed seats by rank. There is no separate management window for 2026 |
