NEET PG 2025 counselling round 3 is currently under process, and the Medical Counselling Committee has delayed the seat allotment result. MCC was earlier scheduled to release the round 3 seat allotment on 29 January 2026, but the result will now be uploaded later.

Updated NEET PG 2025 Seat Matrix Released
MCC had already released the updated seat matrix for round 3 counselling on 23 January 2026. This matrix provides details of available seats across participating institutions. Students were advised to fill choices based on the revised seat availability.
NEET PG 2025 Cutoff Revised by NBE
Earlier, the National Board of Examinations revised the NEET PG 2025 cutoff for all categories. The cutoff was lowered to make more candidates eligible for counselling rounds.
Reports suggested that nearly 18,000 seats remained vacant after the counselling process. To address this, NBE reduced the qualifying percentile significantly, including lowering the SC/ST cutoff to the 0th percentile with a score of -40.
This decision created widespread debate, with concerns raised about maintaining medical education standards and its long-term impact on patient care quality.
What Candidates Should Do Next?
Candidates participating in round 3 counselling should regularly check the MCC portal for the updated seat allotment result date. Students must also keep their documents ready and follow official instructions once allotment is released. The next update from MCC will clarify the status of choice locking and result publication.
