The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the revised NEET UG 2026 Round 1 seat allotment result, giving candidates a rank-wise, institute-wise breakdown of every MBBS and BDS seat allotted under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) and 100% central quota seats at AIIMS, JIPMER, Delhi University, IP University, and other central institutions. The official PDF, timestamped 21 August 2026, lists each candidate's allotted rank, quota, institute, course, and category, and is now available for download on the MCC counselling portal.
For lakhs of NEET UG aspirants, this rank-wise list is the single most useful document of the entire counselling cycle, since it shows exactly which government medical colleges are being filled at which rank range in Round 1, helping candidates in the remaining rounds gauge their own realistic options.
Understanding the Quota and Category Codes
Before reading the rank-wise list, candidates should familiarise themselves with the abbreviations MCC uses throughout the document, since the same institute can appear under multiple quota codes.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| AI | All India Quota |
| SO / Open Seat Quota | Open Seat Quota (mainly AIIMS/JIPMER) |
| DU | Delhi University Quota |
| IP | IP University Quota |
| AM / SA / SI | Aligarh Muslim University Quota (various sub-types) |
| PS | Self-Financed Merit Seat |
| ES / EN | ESI Scheme Quota (medical/nursing) |
| BS / BD / BW | B.Sc Nursing quota variants |
Similarly, allotted category codes include GN (Open/General), BC (OBC-NCL), EWS, SC, ST, and their PwD variants for candidates with disabilities. A useful note in the official document states that if a candidate's category or quota changes within the same institute and course, they must obtain a fresh, system-generated relieving and admission letter reflecting the changed category, or the seat will be cancelled for non-admission.
Government MBBS College-Wise Rank Ranges in Round 1
Based on the revised provisional allotment data, here is an indicative picture of the rank ranges at which seats were allotted across some of the most sought-after government medical colleges in Round 1. These are illustrative ranges drawn from the published list and can vary slightly by category and quota within each institute, so candidates should always verify their own entry in the official PDF rather than relying on ranges alone.
| Government Medical College | Approx. Rank Range Allotted (Round 1) |
|---|---|
| AIIMS, New Delhi | Rank 1 onwards (Open Seat Quota) |
| JIPMER, Puducherry | Rank 12 onwards |
| Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi | Rank ~59 onwards |
| Vardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi | Rank ~56 onwards |
| B J Medical College, Ahmedabad | Rank ~43 onwards |
| Government Medical College, Surat | Rank ~57 onwards |
| Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences & Dr RML Hospital, Delhi | Rank ~133 onwards |
| University College of Medical Sciences & GTB Hospital, Delhi | Rank ~196 onwards |
| Government Medical College, Chandigarh | Rank ~139 onwards |
| Seth GS Medical College, Mumbai | Rank ~228 onwards |
| Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, Varanasi | Rank ~203 onwards |
| Government Medical College, Kozhikode | Rank ~234 onwards |
| Madras Medical College, Chennai | Rank ~325 onwards |
| Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi (Female seats only) | Rank ~251 onwards |
| King George Medical University, Lucknow | Rank ~308 onwards |
| Government Medical College, Kolkata | Rank ~417 onwards |
| SMS Medical College, Jaipur | Rank ~584 onwards |
| Stanley Medical College, Chennai | Rank ~693 onwards |
| Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute | Rank ~109 onwards |
| Government Medical College, Srinagar | Rank ~437 onwards |
AIIMS's newer campuses, including Jodhpur, Bhubaneswar, Nagpur, Rishikesh, Bhopal, Raipur, Mangalagiri, Bathinda, Patna, Bibinagar, Kalyani, Deoghar, Gorakhpur, Bilaspur, and Rajkot, continued to receive allotments across a wide spread of ranks throughout Round 1, reflecting their expanding seat capacity in the Open Seat Quota category.
Why This List Matters for Aspirants
This rank-wise data is far more useful than a simple seat-matrix number, because it shows candidates exactly where their own rank is likely to place them, based on how the same rank band performed this year. A candidate around rank 900, for instance, can see that ranks in that band were largely being allotted to newer AIIMS campuses and institutes like BHU-IMS or Government Medical College, Kozhikode, rather than to Delhi-based colleges such as Maulana Azad Medical College or Safdarjung Hospital, which closed at considerably lower (better) ranks.
It is important to remember that this is still a revised provisional list. Candidates who raised grievances during the window that closed on 21 August 2026 may see some entries shift slightly once the final result is published, and the ranges above should be treated as a general guide rather than a guarantee for any specific rank.
What Comes Next
Candidates allotted a seat in this Round 1 list need to decide between Freeze and Float and complete reporting at their allotted institute within the window specified in MCC's counselling schedule. Those who wish to be considered for a better rank in Round 2 should select Float rather than Freeze, keeping in mind that this keeps their current allotment provisional until the next round concludes.
With Round 1 reporting already underway, candidates are advised to keep checking the official MCC website regularly, since the final result, reporting confirmation, and the Round 2 seat matrix are all expected in the coming days.
