Deemed universities

MCC also conducts common UG counselling for deemed universities; these seats should not be confused with 15% government-college AIQ.

Choice strategy

Candidates may need separate registrations and deposits. Read both schemes before holding, upgrading, resigning or joining because forfeiture and eligibility can interact across rounds.

Final check

Use the 2026 MCC bulletin and the relevant state prospectus. Previous-year round rules are not automatically carried forward.
