The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has initiated the third round of NEET UG 2025 counselling today, September 29, 2025, on its official portal- mcc.nic.in. This round is a crucial opportunity for medical aspirants who have either not been allotted a seat in the first two rounds or are looking to upgrade their seat.
NEET UG Counselling Round 3 is particularly important because it includes seats that remained vacant after the second round due to non-reporting or seat surrender. Candidates who did not register earlier or were not allotted a seat previously can now enter the process afresh. However, candidates who joined the seat allotted in the second round and did not opt for a free exit are not eligible to participate further.
During this round, fresh registration will be accepted, followed by choice filling and locking of preferred colleges and courses. MCC will then process the seat allotment based on candidate rank, category and seat availability.
