CENTAC Puducherry NEET PG 2025 Round 3 Counselling Last Date Extended

The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) under the Directorate of Higher and Technical Education, Government of Puducherry, has announced an extension of the NEET PG 2025 Round 3 counselling registration last date for candidates seeking admission to postgraduate medical courses (MD/MS) in the Union Territory of Puducherry. The revision in schedule comes in response to the lowering of the NEET PG 2025 cutoff, which made additional candidates eligible for counselling, necessitating more time for registration and related procedures.

Key Extended Deadlines for NEET PG Round 3 Counselling

The updated counselling schedule includes the following deadlines for eligible aspirants:

• Last Date for Round 3 Counselling Registration: 4 February 2026 (up to 5 PM)
• Withdrawal of Round 1/2 Allotted Seats: 4 February 2026 (up to 5 PM)

Candidates must complete the online registration process on the official CENTAC portal — centacpuducherry.in within the revised timeframe to participate in the counselling for PG medical seats.

Who Is Eligible After Extension?

The extension primarily benefits students who became eligible for Round 3 counselling following the revision of NEET PG 2025 cutoff scores, allowing them to register and submit course preferences for postgraduate admissions. This window also provides an opportunity for candidates who had previously secured seats in Round 1 or Round 2 to withdraw their allotted seats by the extended deadline if they wish to re-participate in Round 3 counselling without restrictions.

How to Apply and Participate in Counselling?

Candidates interested in participating in the CENTAC NEET PG 2025 Round 3 counselling should follow these steps:

1. Visit the official CENTAC Puducherry website: centacpuducherry.in.
2. Log in or register for the counselling round using valid credentials.
3. Complete the Round 3 registration form and pay the applicable fees before 5 PM on 4 February 2026.
4. Submit or update course preferences as per choices and eligibility.

What Candidates Should Know About Counselling?

Participants should note that the Round 3 counselling process forms part of the overall NEET PG 2025 admission procedure, and successful registration and preference submission are essential for securing available postgraduate medical seats under CENTAC jurisdiction.
