Round 1
At rank 38,000, here is what was accessible in Round 1.
3 options across 3 counselling systems.
Each has a different cost, a different rank band, and a different margin.
After any allotment: 5–6 days to transfer your deposit.
MCC Deemed·Open to all India·Manipal, Karnataka
Kasturba Medical College, Manipal
"In 2025, 212 students entered KMC Manipal through MCC Round 1 — from rank 864 to 40,008. The cushion above rank 38,000 is just ~2,008 ranks — small enough that any shift in demand from higher-ranked students closes this window. Treat this as likely but not certain. Round 2 extended the window to 43,835, with 31 students upgrading here from other deemed colleges."

Round 2 — engage with Round 1 first
○
Round 2
What opens if you wait past Round 1.
Round 2 is where upgrades happen — and where the deposit becomes real.
Seats from candidates who didn't join Round 1 reopen here.
From Round 2, not joining means your deposit is forfeited.
"In 2025, thousands of candidates at rank 38,000 didn't join their Round 1 allotment.
Some found better options in Round 2. Some were running parallel tracks in state counselling.
The key question isn't whether to wait — it's whether you've registered for every system that's open to you."

Round 2 colleges open at rank 38,000
Enter your actual rank + profile to see which specific colleges open in Round 2 for your rank band, category, and state.
After joining Round 3 you cannot resign or upgrade. MCC shares data with states — any state seat you hold is cancelled automatically. The deposit is fully at risk. Decide only when this is the seat you want.
"Round 3 seats are real — but they come from candidates who forfeited their deposit and walked away, and from upgrades within the system. The students who ended up in Round 3 at rank 38,000 either found their preferred option only opened then, or were committed to waiting it out. It's not a consolation window. It's an irreversible commitment."
