Tripura revised its Round 1 by roughly a week, pushing admission from 28 August to 5 September. Rajasthan opened a same-day Part 1 correction window alongside its earlier revision.

Jump to the Deadline Table ↓The short answer, as of 21 August. MCC released its AIQ Round 1 Provisional Result on 20 August under Notice No. 11 — but it is not final: the grievance window closes 3:59 PM today, 21 August, and MCC has told candidates in writing not to approach their allotted college until the Final Result, for which no date is out yet. Tamil Nadu re-extended Round 1 a second time (Notification No.20/SCS1(1)/2026): register/fill/lock choices now run to 24 August, 5 PM, allotment processes 25–26 August, result 27 August, and reporting runs to 5 September. Odisha's OJEE revised Round 1 for a second time too (Notice OJEE/430): choice filling now runs to 22 August, and 1st Round Allotment itself has moved from 22 to 26 August, with admission/reporting 28 August–6 September. Maharashtra's State CET Cell (Notice No. 10) has now confirmed its entire CAP Round 1 chain: document verification and a revised merit list 23 August, final merit list/seat matrix 25 August, choice filling 26–29 August, CAP Round 1 declared 30 August, and joining through 4 September. West Bengal's WBMCC issued Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, materially revising Round 1: a second registration window (20–23 August), verification across five dates, choice filling now 25–27 August, result 31 August, and reporting 1–5 September — we are also flagging that the previous memo's seat-surrender step is not restated in this one. Himachal Pradesh's AMRU (Atal Medical & Research University) has published its first Round 1 dates: final merit list 21 August, choice filling/locking 22–25 August, provisional allocation 27 August, final allocation 29 August, and joining 1–3 September. Rajasthan also revised its Round 1 on 20 August: Part 2 registration extended to 21 August, security deposit/choice filling to 25 August, and the allotment result pushed from 22 to 29 August, with reporting now 30 August–5 September. The revision also corrects the security deposit — it is tiered from ₹50,000 to ₹5,00,000 by seat type, not a flat ₹5 lakh as we previously described. Madhya Pradesh also revised 20 August: Round 1 allotment result moved from 20 to 24 August, and reporting, resignation and the compulsory upgradation option now run 25 August to 3 September (was 21–27 August). Rajasthan also opened a narrow Part 1 correction window (Notice No. 62): email support@neetrajasthan.com by 2:00 PM, 21 August if a Part 1 detail needs fixing. Tripura revised its Round 1 by roughly a week: registration now closes 27 August, 11 AM, merit list 29 August, allotment 31 August, and admission by 5 September, 5 PM (was 28 August). Kerala's CEE opened a document-defect correction window for NRI quota (KEAM-2026) applicants, via the Candidate Portal, closing 22 August, 5:00 PM — and, the same day, rescheduled the entire First Phase Allotment “as per the revised MCC schedule”: options now close 24 August, 11 AM, provisional allotment 25 August, final allotment 27 August, admission through 5 September; a parallel facility opened for 15% AIQ seats in private dental colleges and newly-added PIMS, Palakkad. Jharkhand's JCECEB revised Round 1 a third time (Advt. -66, 21 August), per the same MCC extension direction: State Quota and All India Quota registration now closes 25 August, with seat allotment and admission running 27 August to 5 September, and a newly-named All India Quota BDS seat at Vananchal Dental College, Garhwa.
The remainder of this snapshot was last independently verified 19 August and has not been re-checked against every portal today — treat it as a starting point. Karnataka KEA's real, binding Round 1 allotment was due 19 August. Andhra Pradesh's Competent Authority Quota (MBBS/BDS) registration closed 19 August, 3:00 PM, no further extension stated. Telangana's KNRUHS Competent Authority Quota reopening and the separate Management Quota B&C/NRI window both close 20 August, 6:00 PM. Registration closed 19 August in Arunachal Pradesh (choice filling/locking to 20 August), Manipur and Uttarakhand. Assam's Round 1 choice locking closed 18 August, 11:55 PM, with the result due 22 August. Tripura's Round 1 was revised (see above) and now runs registration to 27 August, with 105 All India seats at TMC and TSMC open to any state. A result was due 20 August for Bihar's Round 1 allotment. Mizoram's ZMC NRI quota verification (Sl. No. 1–15) is due 24 August. Already closed with no next date given: Gujarat, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Puducherry. Every process runs its own registration with its own fee — registering with one gives you nothing in the others. Call OEF on 9085064444 to confirm any of these against today's portal status.
Why this matters to you. Because the result came two months late, several state authorities opened and closed their registration windows within days of each other in the last fortnight of July. A family that assumed “counselling starts in August like always” has already missed Karnataka and Mizoram state quota. Read the board below before you assume anything about a deadline.

Government college seats surrendered to the national pool, allotted by MCC on All India Rank alone. No domicile requirement, which makes this the single most useful route for a Northeast student with a strong rank.
The bulk of government seats, reserved for domicile holders of that state. Assam students apply in Assam, Nagaland students in Nagaland. You cannot buy your way into another state's domicile quota, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.
Private and self-financing colleges fill a large share of seats on NEET merit among applicants who registered with the state committee. Open to out-of-state candidates in most states. Any qualifying NEET score is eligible; the fee is what decides.
A defined share of private seats, priced in a higher bracket and requiring documented NRI relationship. Gujarat, Puducherry and Mizoram all run separate NRI application streams with their own deadlines and their own paperwork.
An Assam-domicile student paying to register for Kerala state quota is spending money on a seat category that is legally closed to them. Non-Keralites fall in NK-II and can only compete for management and NRI seats in self-financing colleges. Check the quota before the fee, not after.
ST(H), ST(P), OBC/MOBC, PRC, domicile, Tribal Area Certificate, income certificate for EWS — these take weeks in district offices across the NE, and no counselling authority accepts an application receipt in place of the certificate. Start the paperwork now, not when the merit list appears.
Several of these processes still need physical submission — CENTAC document verification in Puducherry, ZMC forms at the Technical Wing in Aizawl, NEIGRIHMS counselling in Shillong in person. Book travel around the notified date, and read the notice for who must appear and who need not.
Accept a seat in a later round and fail to join, and a deposit of ₹1–3 lakh is gone in most states. Gujarat alone holds ₹10,000 refundable per candidate. OEF's whole strategy is built around getting a family to a decision they will actually honour in Round 1. Read the deposit guide →

Registration and choice filling both closed; Round 1 result due tomorrow, 20 August. Full schedule to 18 September inside.

Two registrations running at once, both closing 20 August, 6 PM: Competent Authority Quota reopened 18 August, and Management Quota B&C/NRI stays open. Same 213/194/177 cut-offs, plus the local-area rule that shuts out most outstation applicants.

How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 21 August 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score.
Registration and payment closed 15 August; choice filling and locking closed 18 August, 11:59 PM. MCC released the Round 1 Provisional Result on 20 August 2026 under Notice No. 11 — but candidates cannot claim any right over the seat shown, the provisional result cannot be challenged in court, and any discrepancy must be raised by 3:59 PM on 21 August through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System. MCC has explicitly told candidates not to approach their allotted college until the Final Result, for which no date has been announced. Reporting is expected to run 22 to 31 August once it is out. Round 2, Round 3 and the stray vacancy round have not been revised; their originally published dates (Round 2: 24 August to 2 September, Round 3: 10 to 18 September, stray vacancy: 28 September to 3 October) may still shift once the Final Result timeline is clear — confirm at mcc.nic.in rather than assume.
Yes. Qualifying NEET UG 2026 does not register you anywhere. MCC registration covers the 15% All India Quota, deemed universities, AMU, BHU, Jamia Millia Islamia, ESIC and the central institutes. Every state authority — KEA in Karnataka, CEE in Kerala, DME in Tamil Nadu, CENTAC in Puducherry, ACPUGMEC in Gujarat — runs its own separate registration with its own fee and its own deadline. Registering with one gives you nothing in the others. Most students who lose a year lose it here, not in the exam hall.
Partly. Government seats under state quota in those states are reserved for their own domicile holders, so a candidate from Assam, Manipur, Nagaland or any other NE state cannot claim them. What is open to non-domicile candidates is the management and NRI quota in private colleges, deemed university seats through MCC, and the 15% All India Quota. Kerala restricts non-Keralite candidates to the NK-II category, which is management and NRI seats in self-financing colleges only. Read each state's page before you spend money on a registration you cannot use.
Updated 21 August 2026. MCC released its AIQ Round 1 Provisional Result on 20 August (Notice No. 11), but it is not final — the grievance window closes 3:59 PM today, 21 August, and candidates are told not to approach their allotted college until the Final Result. Rajasthan opened a same-day Part 1 correction window (email support@neetrajasthan.com by 2:00 PM, 21 August). Tripura revised its Round 1 by roughly a week: registration now closes 27 August, merit list 29 August, allotment 31 August, admission by 5 September. Kerala opened an NRI-quota document-defect correction window, closing 22 August, 5:00 PM. Tamil Nadu re-extended Round 1 a second time to 24 August, Odisha pushed its 1st Round Allotment from 22 to 26 August, Maharashtra confirmed its full CAP Round 1 chain through to 4 September joining, West Bengal published a materially revised Round 1 schedule (Memo No. 2190, choice filling 25–27 August, reporting 1–5 September), Rajasthan’s Round 1 allotment is now 29 August with a corrected tiered security deposit, Madhya Pradesh’s allotment is now 24 August with reporting extended to 3 September, and Himachal Pradesh’s AMRU issued its first Round 1 dates (choice filling 22–25 August, joining 1–3 September). Also worth checking, as last verified 19 August: Telangana’s Management Quota B&C/NRI registration (closed 20 August); and Punjab’s BFUHS Round 1 choice filling, extended to 23 August, 5 PM. Already closed: Gujarat ACPUGMEC, Uttar Pradesh DGME, Puducherry CENTAC, Chhattisgarh DME, and NEIGRIHMS Shillong applications (though its 1st Counselling is 22 August). Two cautions: Jharkhand’s JCECEB revised its schedule a third time (Advt. -66, per MCC’s nationwide extension) — registration now closes 25 August, allotment/admission 27 August–5 September; Mizoram’s ZMC NRI quota has moved to document verification, Sl. No. 1–15 due 24 August; and Manipur’s DME revised its Round 1 result chain on 21 August — merit list 24 August, seat allotment result 28 August, reporting to 5 September. Call OEF on 9085064444 and we will tell you which of these your score and domicile actually qualify for.
No. MCC and every state authority run their own portals, and no consultant anywhere can influence a merit list or an allotment. What OEF does is different: we read the prospectus for you, tell you which quota your score and domicile genuinely qualify for, warn you before a security deposit is at risk, and stay reachable at 11 PM on the night before a deadline. That work is free, and it is the reason families in Guwahati have used us since 2008.
Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and home state. We will tell you honestly which of these windows are worth your registration fee and which are not — before you spend the money.
