Puducherry NEET UG 2026: CENTAC Removes MCC Round 3 Admitted Candidates

Puducherry’s Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) has updated its NEET UG 2026 Round 3 counselling information after removing candidates admitted through Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) Round 3 from the CENTAC Round 3 eligible list. The notice, published on October 11, concerns applicants participating in undergraduate NEET-based medical course admissions in the Union Territory.

The update matters to candidates checking their eligibility for the state counselling round. Applicants should consult the latest list and notice on the official CENTAC portal rather than relying on an earlier copy. A candidate’s status may change when eligibility records are updated, so it is important to verify the current position before making decisions about preferences, allotment or admission.

What Changed in the CENTAC Round 3 List?

CENTAC’s website posted both a list identifying MCC Round 3 admitted candidates weeded out from the eligible list and a related notice about their removal from the CENTAC UG NEET Round 3 allotment. The update is connected to the overlap between national counselling and Puducherry’s state counselling process. Candidates admitted through MCC should read the notice closely to understand how their status affects their participation in the current CENTAC round.

What Candidates Should Check

• Open the CENTAC UG NEET 2026–27 section and find the October 11 Round 3 notices.
• Review the updated eligible-candidate list, not just a previously downloaded version.
• Check whether the candidate’s name or application details appear in the removal document.
• Read the instructions attached to the notice before taking action.
• Use the candidate dashboard or official CENTAC contact channels if the status appears inconsistent.
• Keep copies of relevant notices and counselling documents for reference.

Why the Revised List Is Important

Round-wise counselling lists help authorities determine which candidates can be considered for available seats. When applicants have an admission through another counselling process, their eligibility in a state round may be affected by the applicable rules. The CENTAC update therefore gives candidates a reason to recheck their status before assuming they remain eligible for a Puducherry Round 3 allotment.

The committee has also published the Round 3 draft allotment list on October 11. Candidates should use the latest official documents to confirm their current position and follow any instructions or deadlines stated by CENTAC. The notice does not replace the need to check individual counselling records. If a candidate believes that a record is incorrect, they should promptly use the official process provided by CENTAC to seek clarification.
