MCC has introduced a new PwBD appeal mechanism for NEET UG Counselling 2026, allowing candidates declared ineligible by primary medical boards to appeal before five authorised appellate boards across India.
NEET UG Counselling 2026: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced a new appellate mechanism for candidates applying under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) category in NEET UG Counselling 2026.
The move follows directions of the Supreme Court in M.A. No. 378/2025 in C.A. No. 14333/2024. The MCC, in a notice issued on August 7, said an Appellate Body has been constituted to assess disability-related appeals and facilitate PwBD candidates during the counselling process.
The notice also refers to an addendum issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC) to its July 27 notification on the guidelines for assessment of PwBD candidates seeking admission to the MBBS course in 2026.
Candidates who wish to claim the 5% PwBD reservation and have been declared ineligible by a Primary Disability Assessment Medical Board can now approach one of the authorised appellate boards, subject to the prescribed procedure.
