RE-NEET 2026 Counselling: Process, Dates & Seat Allotment

RE-NEET 2026 Counselling: Process, Dates & Seat Allotment

RE-NEET 2026 exam is done. Now all eyes are on counselling. How will the counselling process work for RE-NEET candidates? What is different from main NEET counselling? Which score will be used?

This post will tell you everything about RE-NEET counselling — step-by-step.

What is RE-NEET Counselling?

RE-NEET counselling is the same MCC counselling that happens after main NEET. The only difference is that it uses the merged score of RE-NEET candidates.

NTA will take the best score from both exams — Main NEET 2026 and RE-NEET 2026. Then a merit list will be made based on that score and counselling will happen.

Who is Eligible for RE-NEET Counselling?

• Candidates who gave **RE-NEET 2026**
• Candidates who gave **both main NEET and RE-NEET**
• Candidates who gave only **RE-NEET** (if they missed main NEET)

Step 2: Document Upload

Scan all your documents and keep them ready. Use JPEG or PDF format.

Documents required:

• Class 10th marksheet
• Class 12th marksheet (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
• NEET/RE-NEET scorecard
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS)
• Domicile certificate
• Aadhaar card
• Passport photos

Tip: Make sure each document is not more than 200 KB. NTA's document upload limit is small.

Step 3: Choice Filling

This is the most important step. In choice filling, you select colleges and courses.

Tips for Choice Filling:

1. **Put top priority colleges first** — The college you want the most should be at the top
2. **More choices are better** — Fill at least 50-100 choices
3. **Add both government and private** — Always have backup options
4. **Add state quota too** — If you are eligible for state quota
5. **Keep the right preference order** — Do not accidentally put a low priority college above

If you need help with choice filling, talk to our Expert Counsellors.

Step 4: Lock Choices

After filling choices, you must LOCK them. If you do not lock, choices from the previous round will be used.

Important:

• Choices cannot be changed after locking
• Do not forget to lock before the deadline
• A confirmation message will appear after locking — save it

Step 5: Seat Allotment

MCC will declare the seat allotment result. After the result:

• **If you got a seat** — You must do **reporting** and join the college
• **If you did not get a seat** — Wait for the next round
• **If you got a seat but had higher preferences** — You can take part in the next round

Check your seat chances using the NEET College Predictor.

Step 6: Reporting

You must go to the allotted college for document verification and fee payment.

Tips for reporting:

1. Carry original documents with you
2. Keep photocopies ready too
3. Reach on time on the reporting date
4. Arrange college fees in advance
5. Check hostel details on the institute website
