By Sampath Kumar · Updated 1 Sept 2026

MCC released the final Round 1 seat allotment result for NEET UG 2026 on 24 August 2026. Across All India Quota, deemed, central and ESI seats, 29,921 candidates were allotted a seat in 606 colleges. Below are the actual closing ranks from that result — the deepest rank that got a seat in each college, course and category.

Seat Matrix — Total, Filled in Round 1, Left for Round 2

MCC put 31,727 All India Quota, deemed, central and ESI seats into Round 1 and allotted 29,921 of them (94.3%), leaving 1,806 seats unfilled when the final result was published.

By Course

Seats offered in the Round 1 matrix versus allotments made.

By Institute Type

Deemed universities carry the most unfilled seats every year — they are the expensive ones, so candidates hold out for a government seat in later rounds.

Every College — Total, Filled and Left

All 606 colleges in the Round 1 matrix, with Tamil Nadu and Puducherry first. Use Ctrl+F (or your browser’s Find) to jump to a college. The Left column is what Round 1 did not fill — the starting point for Round 2, before released seats are added.

Seats are the college’s All India Quota / deemed / central share only — its state-quota and management seats are counselled separately and are not in this matrix. In MCC’s own files 35 allotments across a few colleges exceed the seats those colleges list in the matrix; they are shown here as fully filled, which is why this table’s “left” column adds up to 1,841 against the 1,806 headline figure.

By State — Top 15

State of the college, not of the candidate — All India Quota is open to everyone. 29,921 of 29,921 allotments could be attributed to a matrix row by college name; the small remainder is missing from the state and type splits but is included in the headline totals.

NEET Mark vs Rank — What Each Score Actually Reached

The table students really want: your NEET 2026 mark, the All India Rank it maps to, and what that rank actually got in Round 1 — measured from the result, not predicted. A seat counts as within reach if its closing rank was at or beyond your rank.

Marks are mapped to rank using the official NEET 2026 result anchors (715 = AIR 1; 19 candidates above 700; 138 above 690; 1,492 at 650+), with deeper points estimated from the 2026 distribution — so treat the rank column as close, not exact. Seat counts are actual Round 1 allotments.

What to Do Now

• Allotted and happy? Report to the college within the reporting window — 22–31 August 2026 for All India Quota. Miss it and you forfeit the seat.
• Allotted but want better? You can opt for upgradation in Round 2 — but read the free-exit rules carefully before you decide, they differ by quota.
• Not allotted? Round 2 goes considerably deeper. Compare your rank against the closing ranks above to build a realistic Round 2 choice list.
• Check the state list too. Tamil Nadu state counselling runs in parallel — many students get a better seat there than through AIQ.
