NEET PG Counselling 2026 Round 2 Seat Matrix: Clear, Virtual and Newly Added Seats

The NEET PG 2026 round 2 seat matrix is divided into three categories: clear vacant seats, virtual vacant seats and newly added seats. Understanding these categories is important before selecting colleges and specialisations during the choice-filling process. The three types of seats are explained below:

• Clear vacant seats: These are seats that remained unallotted during round 1 of MCC NEET PG counselling 2026. Seats surrendered or resigned by candidates, or those for which admission was not approved in round 1, are also included in this category. These seats are confirmed vacancies for round 2.

• Virtual vacant seats: These seats are occupied by candidates who have opted for upgradation during round 2. Their availability depends on whether the candidates receive an upgraded seat. If a candidate gets an upgraded seat, the previously allotted seat becomes available for the next candidate. Otherwise, the seat remains occupied and is not available for fresh allotment.

• Newly added seats: These are additional seats newly approved for admission in different medical colleges and specialisations. They have been included in the round 2 seat matrix based on the approved intake.
