The Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) has released the Round 1 seat allotment result of IIMC Counselling 2026 on the official admissions portal at iimc.admissions.nic.in. Candidates who registered for the counselling can check their allotment status by logging into the Candidate Activity Board.
The seat allotment covers admission to six Master of Arts (MA) programmes and four Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) programmes offered by IIMC. Allotted candidates must now complete the post-allotment formalities between June 9 and June 14, 2026.
The mandatory steps include submission of the online willingness option. Candidates can choose either Freeze or Float against the allotted seat.

How to Check IIMC Counselling 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment?
Allotted candidates can view the result by following the steps given below.
- Visit the official portal at iimc.admissions.nic.in.
- Log in using application number and password.
- Open the Candidate Activity Board on the dashboard.
- Click on the Round 1 Seat Allocation Result link.
- View the allotted programme and campus on screen.
- Download the allotment letter for future reference.
What Should Allotted Candidates Do Next?
Allotted candidates have two clear choices on the portal. The Freeze option locks the current seat and ends further upgradation. The Float option keeps the candidate eligible for a better choice in Round 2.
Candidates must then upload required documents for online verification. The Seat Acceptance Fee of Rs 20,000 has to be paid through the portal. Original document verification is also part of the same process window.
Candidates who choose Float remain in the seat allocation pool for Round 2. The current Round 1 seat stays reserved as a safety net. The Freeze option, by contrast, closes the door on any upward movement.
