MCC Directs Institutes To Verify, Freeze Final Seat Matrix
A group called the Medical Counselling Committee helps students get into dental schools in India.
They told every dental college to check its list of seats very carefully.
Each college has to log in to a special website using its own user ID and password.
On the website, they can see how many seats they have and how the seats are divided for different groups of students.
If the college finds a mistake, it must fix it before the list is final.
After checking, the college must press the button to lock, or “freeze,” the final list of seats.
This frozen list will be used to decide which students get the seats.
If a college does not freeze its list on time, those seats might not be available for students at all.
So the committee told everyone not to wait until the very last day.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) directed all participating institutes to verify and freeze their seat matrix for PG MDS counselling 2026.
Institutes must log in to the designated portal using their PIADMIN User ID and password and access the “Seat Matrix” section.
Verification must cover institute seat intake, course-wise seat details, and category-wise distribution of seats.
MCC warned that seats not correctly verified or frozen within the prescribed timeline may be excluded from the Final Seat Matrix.
The committee advised institutes not to wait until the last date to complete the verification and freezing process.
