183 New MBBS and BDS Seats Added

Ahead of the Round 3 allotment, MCC added 183 new MBBS and BDS seats to the Round 3 seat matrix after receiving updates from participating institutes. This addition slightly widened the pool of seats available for allotment in this round, on top of vacancies carried forward from Round 2.

Candidates who have been allotted a seat must obtain the NEET UG allotment letter and report to the allotted college between October 1 and October 9 to verify documents and complete the admission process.— MCC Counselling Advisory

Impact on Students

For candidates allotted a seat in Round 3, the reporting window of October 1 to 9 leaves limited time to complete document verification and admission formalities, and missing this deadline can result in cancellation of the allotted seat. Candidates who upgraded from Round 2 must also complete relieving and fresh joining formalities in Round 3, as they lose their claim to the earlier allotted seat.

What Happens Next

Candidates who remain without a seat after Round 3 are not at the end of the process, as MCC's published schedule includes a further stray vacancy round for seats left unfilled after this round. Based on current reports, the stray vacancy round is expected to follow in the coming weeks, though candidates should confirm the exact dates on mcc.nic.in once officially notified, since some schedule details for this stage are still being finalised.
