MCC NEET UG 2026 PwBD Notice

MCC NEET UG 2026 PwBD Notice Released: Eligibility, UDID Card, Medical Assessment & Documents

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the MCC NEET UG 2026 PwBD Notice for candidates seeking MBBS admission under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) category through NEET UG Counselling 2026. The notice explains the eligibility criteria, mandatory documents, disability assessment process, designated medical assessment centres, and the rules for obtaining the PwBD Eligibility Certificate.

Candidates applying under the PwBD quota should carefully understand the guidelines before participating in counselling, as only eligible candidates with a valid Eligibility Certificate can exercise choices for PwBD seats.

Who Can Apply Under the PwBD Category?

Candidates seeking MBBS admission under the PwBD category must meet the following conditions:

  • Qualify NEET UG 2026 for MBBS admission.
  • Have at least 40% benchmark disability as prescribed under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act.
  • Possess a Permanent UDID (Unique Disability ID) Card issued by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.

Merely possessing a disability certificate is not sufficient. Candidates must also complete the MCC assessment process.

Permanent UDID Card is Mandatory

One of the biggest requirements mentioned in the notice is the Permanent UDID Card.

Without a valid Permanent UDID Card, candidates cannot claim reservation under the PwBD category during MCC NEET UG Counselling 2026.

Medical Assessment by MCC Designated Boards

Candidates applying under the PwBD quota must personally visit one of the MCC-designated Medical Assessment Boards.

The board will evaluate the candidate’s functional abilities rather than relying only on the disability percentage mentioned in the UDID Card.

Following the assessment, the board will issue an Eligibility Certificate, which is mandatory for participating in PwBD seat counselling.

Documents Required for Medical Assessment

Candidates should carry the following documents while visiting the assessment centre:

  • NEET UG 2026 Scorecard showing MBBS eligibility
  • Permanent UDID Card
  • Self-certified affidavit regarding functional abilities (Schedule-I format)
  • General Self-Certification Affidavit (Appendix-A)
  • Disability-specific affidavit (Appendix-B to Appendix-F, as applicable)

Incomplete documentation may delay the assessment process.

What Does the Medical Assessment Board Evaluate?

The Medical Assessment Board will assess whether the candidate can successfully complete the MBBS course by evaluating:

  • Functional abilities required for medical education
  • Ability to acquire essential MBBS competencies
  • Use of assistive devices and technology
  • Requirement for reasonable accommodation
  • Ability to complete clinical training
  • Patient safety during clinical practice

The assessment is based on individual capability rather than assumptions about disability.

Candidates Cannot Be Declared Ineligible Only Because of Disability Type

The MCC notice clearly states that candidates cannot be declared ineligible merely because of:

  • Their disability category
  • Disability percentage alone
  • General assumptions or stereotypes regarding disability

Every candidate will receive an individual functional assessment based on the latest NMC guidelines.

Possible Outcomes After Assessment

After evaluation, candidates may receive one of the following decisions:

  • Eligible
  • Eligible with Reasonable Accommodation
  • Ineligible (with written reasons)

Candidates declared eligible can proceed with PwBD counselling.

What is Reasonable Accommodation?

Depending on the assessment, candidates may receive reasonable accommodations such as:

  • Assistive devices
  • Accessible learning materials
  • Communication support
  • Ergonomic modifications
  • Examination assistance
  • Accessible clinical learning facilities

These accommodations help eligible candidates complete the MBBS course effectively.

Eligibility Certificate is Mandatory for PwBD Seat Choice Filling

Only candidates who receive the PwBD Eligibility Certificate from an MCC-designated Medical Assessment Board will be able to:

  • View PwBD seats
  • Fill choices under the PwBD category
  • Participate in PwBD seat allotment during MCC counselling

Without this certificate, PwBD seat options will not be available.

Validity of the PwBD Eligibility Certificate

The Eligibility Certificate issued by the Medical Assessment Board will remain valid only for the 2026 academic session.

Candidates must obtain a fresh certificate for future admission sessions if required.

Appeal Against the Medical Assessment Board Decision

If a candidate is dissatisfied with the assessment outcome, they may appeal before the designated Appellate Authority.

The authority may:

  • Order a fresh assessment
  • Seek an opinion from another specialist
  • Review the previous assessment

Strict Action Against Fake Documents

MCC has warned candidates against submitting:

  • Fake UDID Cards
  • False affidavits
  • Incorrect disability information

If any fraudulent document is detected, the allotted seat may be cancelled and legal action may also be initiated.

PwBD Reservation Under State Quota

Candidates applying under the 85% State Quota may obtain certification from the respective State Medical Assessment Board.

However, the assessment must still follow the NMC 2026 PwBD Guidelines.

Number of Assessment Centres Increased

To make the certification process more accessible, MCC has increased the number of designated Medical Assessment Centres from 16 to 61 centres across India.

Candidates should note that disability categories assessed may vary from one centre to another.
