The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued an urgent notice to medical colleges, requesting them to submit their seat details on the official portal in preparation for the NEET UG 2024 counselling process, which is expected to commence soon, as per a PTI report.
According to the notice issued on July 15, medical institutes participating in the undergraduate (UG) counselling for 2024 have until July 20 to upload their seat lists on the intramcc portal. This directive comes ahead of the Supreme Court's next hearing on the NEET UG exam matter, scheduled for July 18.
The MCC notice states: "Institutes participating in UG Counselling 2024 are hereby informed that intramcc portal for contribution of UG seats is open now. Hence, institutes are requested to start entering their seats on the portal at the earliest so that the process of seats contribution can be completed timely”.
Institutes have been reminded that the user ID and password for accessing the portal remain the same as in previous years. Should they forget their password, the 'FORGOT PASSWORD' option can be used to reset it.

In related news, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two more individuals in connection with the NEET-UG question paper leak. Among the arrested is the person alleged to have stolen the question papers from a National Testing Agency (NTA) trunk in Hazaribagh, Bihar, before they were leaked. The CBI's investigation follows a reference from the education ministry after initial denials of any leak by the Centre. The decision to involve the CBI came amid widespread protests and litigation by students, as reported by the PTI.
The NEET-UG exam, conducted by the NTA on May 5, saw over 23 lakh candidates appearing at 4,750 centres across 571 cities.
