The UP NEET PG 2025 counselling Round-3 schedule has been revised by the Directorate General of Medical Education, Uttar Pradesh (DGME), affecting key timelines for applicants seeking postgraduate medical seats under the state quota. The updated timetable, available on the official portal upneet.gov.in, includes extended registration and modified merit list and choice filling dates to provide candidates with adequate time to participate in counselling.
Extended Registration and Merit List Timelines
According to the revised schedule, the registration window for Round-3 counselling for the UP NEET PG 2025 cycle has now been extended until 5 February 2026. Earlier, the deadline was set for an earlier date in February. Candidates who have not registered yet for Round-3 can complete their registration on the official website before this revised deadline. Following registration closure, the merit list for Round-3 will also be published on 5 February 2026, allowing shortlisted candidates to proceed with the next steps of the counselling process.
Choice Filling and Seat Allotment Process
After the revised merit list is released, candidates included in that list will be able to declare their choices online. The choice filling period is scheduled from 6 February to 11 February 2026, during which applicants must log in, select their preferred colleges and programmes, and save their order of choices. Subsequently, the Round-3 seat allotment result will be published on 13 February 2026, giving candidates information about their allocated seats based on merit, choices and seat availability. Those allotted seats will be required to complete admission formalities within the stipulated timeframe as communicated through official notices on the counselling portal.
