MCC NEET UG Round 3: Important Dates

These dates reflect the published Round 3 timetable. Candidates should check MCC's latest notices for any revisions before acting.

Which Admissions Does MCC Counselling Cover?

MCC conducts counselling for the relevant All India Quota and participating central and deemed-university seats, along with other institutions and courses covered by its published counselling scheme.

Candidates should consult the current information bulletin to establish whether a particular MBBS, BDS or BSc Nursing seat is included in the MCC process. State-quota counselling is conducted separately by the applicable state authorities.

How to Register for Round 3

1. Open the official MCC counselling website.
2. Select the UG counselling section.
3. Read the current information bulletin and Round 3 notices.
4. Open the registration facility when active.
5. Enter the required candidate and examination details.
6. Complete the application and pay the applicable fee.
7. Save the registration confirmation.
8. Return during the choice-filling period to submit preferences.

Registration and Fee-Payment Deadlines Are Different

Registration is scheduled to close at 3 p.m. on September 27, while the fee-payment facility is scheduled to remain available until 6 p.m. that day.

Candidates should not assume that the later payment cutoff also extends the registration deadline. Completing the process early provides time to address payment or login problems.

Choice Filling and Locking

Choice filling begins September 23 and continues through September 28. The separate locking facility opens at 7 p.m. on September 27 and closes at noon on September 28.

Candidates should review the seat matrix, course, institution, fees and eligibility conditions before ordering their preferences. They must follow MCC's instructions for saving and locking choices.

When Will the Round 3 Result Be Released?

Allotment processing is scheduled for September 28–29, followed by publication of the result on September 30.

The result is an upcoming scheduled event as of September 22. Candidates should not treat it as already declared.

Reporting After Seat Allotment

Allotted candidates are scheduled to report between October 1 and October 9. They must consult the allotment letter and MCC instructions for the applicable document, fee and joining requirements.

Missing an admission requirement may have consequences under the counselling scheme. Candidates should read the current information bulletin rather than relying on general advice from an earlier year.
