NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2 New Seats: College-Wise MBBS, BDS & BSc Nursing List
Click to enlarge
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) issued an official notice on September 3, 2026, titled "Newly Added Seats Round 2 (MBBS, BDS, B.Sc Nursing) - UG Counselling 2026," adding a total of 659 seats across 13 institutes in seven states and union territories. These seats were added into the Round 2 seat pool during the choice filling window, covering MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing courses under different quota categories. This article gives you the complete college-wise, course-wise and category-wise breakdown directly from that official MCC document.
What "Newly Added Seats" Means in MCC Counselling
MCC periodically issues addendum notices during a counselling round when additional seats become available after the main seat matrix for that round has already been published. This can happen when a college receives a late seat sanction, when a category clarification adds seats to an existing quota, or when a previously unlisted institute is cleared to participate. These seats are added to the same round's choice filling window they are announced in, so candidates still in the process can include them in their choice list before locking.

5 columns · 14 rows
Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences in Maduranthagam, Tamil Nadu, contributed the single largest addition with 150 new MBBS seats, all under the deemed university self-financed merit seat category. Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Dental Sciences, at the same group's Chengalpet campus, added a further 100 BDS seats under the same seat type.
Understanding the Category Codes Used in the Notice
MCC's official seat matrix documents use short category codes rather than full names, and it helps to know what each one stands for before you read the notice yourself.
- OP: Open or General category
- BC: Backward Class, corresponding to OBC (Other Backward Classes)
- EW: EWS, Economically Weaker Section
- SC: Scheduled Caste
- ST: Scheduled Tribe
- PH: Persons with Disability (PwD) sub-quota within a category, shown alongside the main category code
- NO: Not applicable for PwD, meaning the seat is not in the PwD sub-quota
For example, in the official notice, a seat listed as "OP PH" means it falls under the Open category's PwD sub-quota, while "OP NO" means it is an Open category seat outside the PwD sub-quota. Reading the notice with this key makes it far easier to identify exactly which of the 659 new seats apply to your own category.
State-Wise Spread of the New Seats
Tamil Nadu accounts for the largest share of the new seats, with four institutes and 350 seats combined across MBBS and BDS, all through deemed university self-financed merit seats. Delhi follows with 139 new B.Sc Nursing seats spread across two long-established government nursing colleges. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Uttar Pradesh each received 15 new MBBS seats at a single government institute under the All India Quota, while Gujarat and Kerala received new BDS seats at their respective government dental colleges. Puducherry and Uttarakhand each saw 50 new MBBS seats added at a single deemed university institute.
B.Sc Nursing New Seats: Female-Only Delhi Institutes in Focus
The entire B.Sc Nursing addition in this notice comes from two well-known Delhi institutions: the College of Nursing at GTB Hospital, affiliated with the Florence Nightingale College of Nursing, and the College of Nursing at Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC). Both are listed in the official notice as female-only seats across every category and quota type shown. Florence Nightingale CON added 77 seats spread across Delhi NCR quota, All India quota and Delhi NCR CW quota, while LHMC added 62 seats across All India quota and Delhi NCR CW quota.
Deemed University New Seats in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Uttarakhand
Every MBBS and BDS seat added outside the government college category in this notice falls under deemed university counselling, filled through what MCC labels a self-financed merit seat, or in one case at Graphic Era Institute of Medical Sciences, an NRI seat alongside a self-financed merit seat. Deemed university seats function differently from state government college seats in one important respect: fees are typically higher and are set by the institute's own fee structure rather than a state government schedule, so candidates considering these newly added seats should check the specific fee and bond details published by each institute before finalising their choice order.
Geographically, all five deemed university additions in this notice sit in southern and northern India, three in Tamil Nadu, one in Puducherry, and one in Uttarakhand, with none in the western or eastern regions this time. A candidate open to relocating for a deemed university seat should weigh this alongside factors like campus infrastructure, hospital bed strength, and the specific fee structure at each institute, since deemed universities can vary considerably from one another even within the same state.
How to Apply for These New Seats in Round 2
- Log in to your MCC candidate account at mcc.nic.in using your NEET UG roll number and password.
- Open the Available Choices section under Round 2 choice filling, if the window is still active in your case.
- Search for the specific institute and course from this list and add it to your choice basket if you are interested.
- Arrange your choice order according to genuine preference, since MCC allots the highest-ranked available choice your rank and category qualify for.
- Lock your choices before the notified deadline, since choices cannot be edited once locked.
If Round 2 choice filling has already closed by the time you are reading this, these newly added seats will still factor into the September 11 Round 2 result for any candidate who included them in their locked choice list. Candidates who did not include them, or who are checking this after the window closed, should track whether similar seats reappear in the Round 2 seat matrix for later rounds such as Round 3, the mop-up round or the stray vacancy round.
Why These Seats Were Added Mid-Round
MCC does not explain the specific institute-by-institute reason for each addition in the notice itself, and this article does not speculate on individual cases. In general, additions of this kind during an active counselling round typically follow late confirmation of seat sanctions by the National Medical Commission, resolution of a pending compliance or inspection matter at a particular institute, or a correction to how a previously sanctioned seat had been categorised. Candidates interested in the specific reason for any one institute's addition should refer to that institute's own admission notices rather than assuming a single explanation applies across the whole list.
This kind of mid-round addendum is not unusual in MCC's counselling calendar. Every round typically starts with a base seat matrix, and additional notices, whether for newly added seats, withdrawn seats, or corrected categorisation, can follow while that round's choice filling window is still open. Candidates who only check the seat matrix once at the very start of a round risk missing updates like this one, which is why it is worth revisiting the seat matrix page on mcc.nic.in periodically until your choices are locked.
What This Means If You're Still in the Round 2 Choice Filling Window
For candidates whose Round 2 choice filling is still open, or who are reviewing this ahead of a later round, this list is a genuine opportunity to widen a realistic choice set, particularly for MBBS aspirants eyeing Tamil Nadu deemed university seats or B.Sc Nursing candidates eligible for the Delhi NCR or All India quota at GTB Hospital and LHMC. Since these are freshly added seats, they were not part of the original Round 2 seat matrix that most candidates would have reviewed when planning their choice list, so it is worth a second look even if you already locked an initial set of preferences earlier in the window.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Cross-check your own category and PwD status against the exact category code shown for each seat before assuming eligibility.
- For deemed university seats, review the institute's fee structure and any bond requirements separately, since these can differ significantly from government college seats.
- B.Sc Nursing seats at both Delhi institutes listed here are female-only across every quota shown in the official notice.
- Do not treat this list as a guarantee of allotment. Adding a seat to your choice list only makes you eligible to be considered for it; actual allotment still depends on your rank, category and the choice order you set.
- Always cross-verify this list against the live notice on mcc.nic.in before making a final decision, since MCC can issue further corrections or additions as counselling progresses.
Conclusion
MCC's newly added seats notice for NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2 brought 659 additional MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing seats into play across 13 institutes in nine states and union territories, ranging from a single government medical college seat addition in Arunachal Pradesh to a 150-seat deemed university addition in Tamil Nadu. Whether these seats are relevant to you depends entirely on your category, your target course, and where you stand in the Round 2 timeline right now. Cross-check the college-wise table above against your own choice list, verify category eligibility carefully, and keep watching mcc.nic.in for the Round 2 result and any further seat updates.

No. Both Delhi institutes in this notice, the College of Nursing at GTB Hospital (Florence Nightingale CON) and the College of Nursing at LHMC, have all their listed new seats marked as female-only.
What does the category code OP PH mean in the MCC notice?
OP stands for Open or General category, and PH indicates the seat falls under that category's Persons with Disability (PwD) sub-quota. OP NO would mean an Open category seat outside the PwD sub-quota.
Can I still choose these newly added seats if Round 2 choice filling has closed?
If choice filling has already closed, you cannot add new choices for the current round. These seats will be considered only for candidates who included them in their locked Round 2 choice list. Watch for similar additions in later rounds if you missed this window.
Are deemed university seats in this list the same as government college seats?
No. Every MBBS and BDS seat added outside the government institutes listed here falls under deemed university counselling, filled as a self-financed merit seat or NRI seat, which typically carries a different, institute-specific fee structure than a government college seat.
Where can I verify this list against the official MCC document?
The original notice is published on mcc.nic.in under UG Medical Counselling. This article's external sources list includes a direct link to the official PDF for verification.
Do mid-round seat additions like this happen only in Round 2?
No. MCC can issue newly added seats notices, or similar corrections, during any round's active choice filling window, not just Round 2. It is worth checking the seat matrix page periodically through each round rather than only once at the start.
Are all 659 new seats available to every candidate regardless of home state?
All India Quota and deemed university seats in this notice, which cover the government institutes and all the MBBS/BDS deemed university additions, are open to candidates nationwide without a domicile requirement. The Delhi NCR quota and Delhi NCR CW quota seats among the B.Sc Nursing additions carry region-specific eligibility conditions, so candidates should check those quota definitions before assuming eligibility.
