Undergraduate medical aspirants seeking admission to MBBS and BDS courses have been allowed to report to the colleges in person or virtually, considering the COVID-19 situation in the country. However, those who prefer ‘e–joining’ should seek prior permission and follow a few other guidelines.

Those who seek online admission should make sure that they have received the ‘admission letter’ generated online from the portal of the Medical Councelling Commitee (MCC). Their admission would be invalid if they fail to produce this letter. The MCC should receive the copy of the letter from the college on the email id ugmcconlinereporting@gmail.com.

The candidates also need to send an email confirming that they are accepting the seat and then upload the scanned copies of the required documents. (The list of the documents is available on pages 41 and 42 of the information bulletin.)

The respective web portals of the colleges would display its email id, phone number and the fee too.

The candidates can pay the fee via these web portals.

The online admission is provisional. The aspirants need to report in–person at the colleges, on a later date, to finalise the admission after document verification and medical check-ups.

Aspirants who joined after the first round of allotment can give up the seats until 4 pm on 16 February. Make sure that the relieving letter from the college is received on the MCC portal. Keep in mind that offline vacating would be considered invalid. Those who do not leave the seats via online would be automatically considered as taking part in second round of counselling.

Candidates who want upgradation in the second round, by retaining the first seats should directly reach the college. However, they need not report at the college if they choose ‘free exit’.

E–joining is a facility that has been introduced to ensure adherence to COVID-19 protocols and also as a preacaution in case the aspirants test positive for the disease.
