The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has just announced a significant extension for the Round 3 choice filling process for NEET UG 2025 counselling. Initially slated for an earlier close, the deadline has now been pushed to October 16, 2025, at 4 PM. This welcome change comes after the addition of new seats across various medical colleges, giving aspiring students more time and options.
This extension offers a valuable opportunity for candidates to carefully review and update their college preferences. It’s a chance to strategize based on the latest seat availability, your personal aspirations, and the outcomes of previous counselling rounds. Mark your calendars: the much-anticipated seat allocation results for Round 3 will be declared on October 18, 2025. The MCC has published this updated schedule on its official portal.
Steps to Successfully Fill Your Choices for NEET UG Round 3
To participate in Round 3 of NEET UG 2025 counselling, begin by logging into the official MCC portal using your unique application number and password. Once you’re in, take your time to thoroughly examine the updated list of available colleges and courses. Consider crucial factors like location, institutional ranking, and your personal academic preferences.
Strategic prioritization is key here. Think about both the current seat availability and your realistic chances of securing a spot in your desired college. After making your final selections, remember to save your choices and explicitly lock them. This must be completed before the extended deadline of October 16, 2025, at 4 PM to ensure your preferences are officially recorded and considered during the seat allotment process.
