Is the "Free Exit" option still valid in Round 1 of MCC counselling this year?

Yes, if you are allotted an AIQ seat in Round 1, you can freely choose not to join without losing your security deposit or compromising Round 2 eligibility.

What happens if I enter the bank details wrong for my cancelled paper fee refund?

The transaction will bounce back to NTA's secure pool; you must manually monitor the portal's dynamic grievance window to re-verify your banking credentials.

Can I hold a seat in State Quota and MCC All India Quota at the same time?

No, Supreme Court guidelines strictly flag and block your profile across all integrated national networks the moment you officially join a Round 2 allotted seat.

How will the drop in re-exam attendance impact the 2026 opening and closing ranks?

With 2.79 lakh fewer competitors at the re-test, individual college closing ranks are expected to stretch slightly further down than initial May benchmarks suggested.

I have an EWS/OBC certificate issued before the re-exam cancellation. Is it still valid?

Validity depends entirely on the financial year; your Central or State category document must be explicitly dated on or after 1 April 2026 to remain valid.
