Always Fill in True Preference Order

Never order choices by where you think you have higher chances. The algorithm checks your list from choice #1 downwards. If you qualify for your #1, you will get it; if not, it evaluates #2 without penalty.

Algorithm: Evaluated Top-Down

Understand Round 2 Forfeiture

Unlike Round 1 (which offers free exit), if you are allotted a seat in MCC Round 2 and fail to join, your refundable security deposit (₹25,000 for AIQ / ₹2,05,000 for Deemed) is permanently forfeited.

Forfeiture Trap: Non-Joining Penalty
3

Verify State Rural Bonds First

Never lock an institution without checking its mandatory service bond. States like Maharashtra and Karnataka enforce heavy financial penalties (up to ₹50 Lakhs) for non-completion of service obligations.

Mandatory: Audit Bond Clauses

Step-by-Step Choice Filling Workflow

Tier 1: Dream Choices (Top Ranks)Colleges and clinical branches you desire regardless of rank (e.g., MAMC Radiodiagnosis, KGMU Medicine, VMMC Derma). There is zero penalty if you do not get them.
Tier 2: Realistic Choices (Within 1.2x of your Rank)Colleges where historical round-wise closing ranks align closely with your actual score. Focus on hospital bed capacity and resident case volume here.
Tier 3: Safe / Backup ResidenciesDNB hospitals, emerging state colleges, or Deemed universities you are genuinely willing to join if higher tiers are missed. Never list a seat you would decline to join!
