NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Allotment Result and Reporting
According to the MCC, candidates allotted a seat must download their allotment letter and report to their colleges between October 1 and October 9, 2026, for document verification and admission formalities. This will confirm their medical seat.
What to do if a seat is not secured in NEET Counselling 2026 Round 3?
For candidates who do not secure a seat in Round 3 of NEET counselling, the ‘Stray Vacancy Round’ may provide another opportunity.
This round involves counselling for MBBS and BDS seats that remain vacant after the completion of previous rounds.
Not all candidates are eligible to participate in this round; candidates must meet the eligibility criteria specified by the MCC.
Candidates should also note that, in addition to MCC counselling, individual states conduct their own NEET UG counselling processes. For state quota seats, it is essential to check the notification released on the respective state’s counselling authority’s website. Students who did not secure a seat through the All India Quota (AIQ) can explore opportunities available under state counselling based on their eligibility.
