NEET UG Counselling 2024 Update - MCC Allows Round 1 & 2 Candidates to Resign Seats!

In an important development for NEET UG 2024 candidates, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced that candidates allotted seats in both Round 1 and Round 2 of the counselling process can now resign from their seats under specific conditions. This decision has been made to accommodate candidates who wish to give up their seats for various personal reasons. The resignation option is available until 5 PM on October 1, 2024. Candidates wishing to resign their seats in NEET UG 2024 must ensure that all formalities are completed by this deadline.

Who Can Resign and How

The MCC, in its official notification, has outlined the procedure for candidates wishing to resign their allotted seats:

• Round-1 Candidates: Those who did not receive an upgrade in Round 2 can resign their seats without losing their security deposit, provided they submit their resignation within the stipulated deadline.
• Round-2 Candidates (Fresh Allottees): Candidates who received fresh allotments in Round 2 and joined their seats but now wish to resign can do so. However, they will forfeit their security deposit upon resignation.
• Round-2 Upgraded Candidates: Those who were upgraded to a different seat in Round 2, joined the new seat, but now want to resign, can vacate their seat. Like the fresh allottees, these candidates will lose their security deposit if they resign.

Resignation Process

Candidates opting for resignation must physically report to their allotted college to complete the process. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that the Resignation Letter is generated online through the official MCC portal by the college. Failure to do so will result in the resignation being considered null and void.

The MCC has emphasised that the resignation process must be completed on time, and candidates should be fully aware of the forfeiture of their security deposit in cases involving Round 2 resignations.
