MCC does not hand allotted candidates a single form. It hands them a 113-page Information Bulletin, and the one page they actually need is buried somewhere past page 90. We pulled out the nine forms candidates actually download and fill after allotment — three category-certificate proformas and six PwBD self-declaration affidavits — as separate, one-click PDFs. Below that, the new Freeze vs Float reporting system explained in plain language, the exact document checklist, and the real refundable-deposit numbers by seat type.
Last verified · 21 August 2026 · against MCC's Information Bulletin dated 20 August 2026
The short answer. If MCC has allotted you a seat, the two things to sort out immediately are: (1) which forms your category needs — download them individually below, don't fill your details into the whole bulletin by hand — and (2) whether you are going to Freeze (report physically, no upgrade attempt) or Float (stay online, try for a better seat next round). Freeze candidates must physically reach the allotted college with original documents; Float candidates do everything — document upload, provisional joining, resignation if upgraded — through their MCC login, with zero travel, right up until Round 3, after which physical reporting becomes compulsory for everyone. Category candidates (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) need the certificate in MCC's exact prescribed format, not any caste or income certificate you already have. PwBD candidates need the matching disability-specific affidavit, notarised, plus the Eligibility Certificate from MCC's Medical Assessment Board.
In every earlier NEET UG cycle, an allotted candidate either joined a seat physically or let it go. From 2026, MCC has split that into two clearly defined tracks after every round of allotment.
You do not want to be considered for upgradation in the next round. You must physically report at the allotted Medical/Dental college with your original documents, get them verified in person by the college, and complete joining formalities there. There is nothing to do online beyond the one-time scanned-document upload every candidate, Freeze or Float, must complete on the MCC portal.
You give your willingness for upgradation online and do not travel anywhere. The allotted college's nodal officer verifies your uploaded documents online, MCC generates a provisional joining/admission letter online, and if you get upgraded in the next round your earlier seat is released automatically — with no claim on it. If you decide to resign instead of floating further, that is also done online, through Candidate Login → Withdrawal (Resignation).
Round 3 ends the online option for everyone. After the Round 3 provisional allotment result, physical reporting at the allotted institute becomes mandatory for every Round 3 allottee, and for every Float candidate from Round 1 or Round 2 who did not get upgraded. Once you join a Round 3 seat, MCC will not allow you to resign or exit under any circumstance — the only way out at that stage is walking away before joining, which forfeits your full security deposit.
Free Exit is a different thing entirely. A candidate allotted a seat in Round 1 who simply never joins it — doesn't Freeze, doesn't Float, doesn't report — can walk away with no forfeiture, under MCC's Free Exit provision. That is only available before joining. Once you have joined (Freeze) or been provisionally admitted online (Float, then upgraded and joined), any later exit costs your full security deposit, and after Round 3, exit is not permitted at all.
MCC's fee structure is not one number — it depends on which pool of seats you are registering for, and your category, within the government-seat pool.
| Seat pool | Category | Non-refundable registration fee | Refundable security deposit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15% AIQ / Central Universities (DU, AMU, BHU, Jamia)/ AFMC / ESIC / AIIMS / JIPMER / B.Sc Nursing | UR / EWS | Rs 1,000 | Rs 10,000 |
| SC / ST / OBC / PwD | Rs 500 | Rs 5,000 | |
| Deemed Universities | All categories | Rs 5,000 | Rs 2,00,000 |
Applying for both? If you register for both a government-quota seat (AIQ/Central/AIIMS/JIPMER etc.) and a Deemed University seat, MCC does not charge you both fee sets — you pay only the higher one, which is the Deemed University fee (Rs 5,000 + Rs 2,00,000). MCC does not pay interest on the refundable portion, and once you have registered, that registration is treated as “service rendered” — the registration fee itself is never refunded regardless of outcome. The security deposit is refunded only to the account it was paid from; NRI-account holders must route funds through an NRO account first, since MCC cannot refund directly to an NRI account under RBI rules.
Each button below is one form, extracted from MCC's own 20 August 2026 Information Bulletin, exactly as MCC prescribes it. Fill in a few quick details first — free, takes 10 seconds — so we can also flag if you've picked the wrong form for your category.
For candidates claiming Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe reservation. Must be on this exact proforma, issued by a competent authority, in English or Hindi.
For OBC candidates in the Central List, non-creamy layer. Must confirm the family's non-creamy-layer status for the financial year ending 31 March 2026.
For Economically Weaker Section candidates, family income below Rs 8 lakh a year and within the specified asset limits. Needs a recent passport photo affixed.
Every PwBD candidate fills Appendix A first. It then points you to exactly one of Appendix B–F depending on disability type — you generally need only two of these six forms, not all of them.
Filled by every PwBD applicant first, regardless of disability type. Declares your disability category and NEET details, and directs you to the matching Appendix below.
For candidates declaring hearing loss, with or without a hearing aid or cochlear implant.
For locomotor disability affecting coordinated activity of the arms and hands — writing, buttoning, holding instruments.
For locomotor disability affecting standing, walking or stability — the lower-limb equivalent of Appendix C. Revised vide UGMEB corrigendum dated 31.07.2026.
For mental illness, specific learning disorder or autism spectrum disorder — covers communication, comprehension and social-interaction competencies.
For candidates using a Low Vision Aid, declaring corrected visual acuity, field of vision and hands-free usability criteria are met.
Also carry the Eligibility Certificate. Beyond the self-declaration affidavit, every PwBD candidate needs an Eligibility Certificate (Schedule-II) issued by one of MCC's designated Medical Assessment Boards after physical assessment — this one is issued to you, not filled by you, so it isn't listed as a download here. The nearest boards for Northeast candidates are Gauhati Medical College and Assam Medical College Dibrugarh, Silchar Medical College, Government Medical College Agartala/Tripura State Disability Board, RIMS Imphal, Zoram Medical College Falkawn (Mizoram), and NEIGRIHMS Shillong. A candidate declared ineligible can appeal to one of five Appellate Disability Assessment Boards, including Banaras Hindu University and IPGMER Kolkata, by emailing disabilityappeal-chair@gov.in and disabilityappeal-convener@gov.in before their counselling round begins.

Originals only, and not previously deposited elsewhere. MCC's bulletin is explicit: a candidate without original documents will not be permitted to take admission, and a candidate who shows up with a certificate stating their originals are “deposited with another institute” will also be turned away. If a certificate is in a regional language, carry a certified English or Hindi translation alongside the original. If there's a spelling mismatch between your documents and your application form, carry a notarised affidavit explaining it.

How to use this page. This page was checked against MCC's Information Bulletin dated 20 August 2026. Forms are reproduced as individual PDFs for convenience, exactly as MCC has published them — we have not altered their content. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm, not an agent of MCC or any counselling authority, and cannot influence any allotment or certificate approval.

It's a new-for-2026 choice every allotted candidate makes after each round. Freeze means you are happy with your allotted seat and do not want to try for an upgrade in the next round — you must physically report at the allotted college with original documents, get them verified in person, and formally join. Float means you want a chance at a better seat in the next round — you do everything online through your MCC candidate login (document upload, provisional joining, and later resignation if you get upgraded) and you do not need to travel to the college at all while floating. You cannot float after Round 3; every Round 3 allottee, and every Round 1/2 float candidate who did not get upgraded, must physically report in person after the Round 3 result.
No, not while they remain in float status. Float candidates upload scanned documents online, the college's nodal officer verifies them online, and MCC generates a provisional joining or admission letter online. If the candidate is upgraded to a better seat in the next round, the earlier seat is automatically released with no claim on it and no need to visit that college. Physical travel becomes compulsory only after Round 3 — every Round 3 allottee and every un-upgraded float candidate from an earlier round must then report in person.
Per MCC's 2026 Information Bulletin: the MCC allotment letter, NTA admit card, NTA result/rank letter, Class 10 certificate (date of birth proof), Class 10 certificate, Class 12 certificate, Class 12 marksheet, eight passport-size photographs matching the one on the application form, and a photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence or passport). Candidates claiming SC, ST, OBC-NCL or EWS reservation must also carry the category certificate in MCC's prescribed proforma, in English or Hindi, and PwBD candidates must carry their Eligibility Certificate from MCC's Medical Assessment Board. Candidates without original documents are not permitted to take admission.
Yes, it is tiered by seat type. For the 15% All India Quota, central universities, AFMC, ESIC, AIIMS, JIPMER and B.Sc Nursing: registration fee is Rs 1,000 (UR/EWS) or Rs 500 (SC/ST/OBC/PwD), with a refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000 (UR/EWS) or Rs 5,000 (SC/ST/OBC/PwD). For deemed universities, every candidate pays a flat Rs 5,000 registration fee plus a refundable Rs 2,00,000 security deposit. A candidate applying for both pays only the higher fee set.
MCC's Information Bulletin publishes an exact prescribed proforma for each — Annexure 3 for SC/ST, Annexure 4 for OBC-NCL, Annexure 5 for EWS, and Appendices A through F for PwBD self-declaration affidavits by disability type. A certificate not in this format risks rejection at reporting. Each of these nine forms is available as an individual PDF download on this page.
It depends on the round. After Round 1 or Round 2, a candidate who joined and then wants out can exit, but only with forfeiture of the full security deposit. After Round 3, exit is not permitted at all — once you join a Round 3 seat, MCC will not entertain resignation. This is separate from Free Exit, which applies only to a candidate allotted a seat in Round 1 who never joined it at all; such a candidate can walk away without forfeiture, but only before joining.
Category certificates on the wrong proforma, a missing PwBD affidavit, or reporting instead of floating when you should have floated — we see all three cost seats every single cycle.
