Why Is 17 October shown as the Result Date on Some Sites?
17 October was listed as the result day in an older MCC timetable. After a revision, MCC moved the declaration to 19 October 2026, and seat processing was set for 17 and 18 October. Any page still showing 17 October is using the outdated schedule. Rely only on the newest notice in the Current Events area of mcc.nic.in.
MCC had already put out the list of vacant seats for this round. Our article on the NEET UG 2026 stray round seat matrix shows the seats that were available.

Cut Off and Merit Information
