MCC Begins Post-Round 2 Vacancy Analysis

As the NEET PG 2025 Round 2 reporting window concludes on December 29, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is meticulously compiling vacancy data for the upcoming Round 3. This crucial phase determines the remaining seat matrix for MD, MS, and DNB aspirants. Our detailed report covers the reporting extensions, eligibility for seat upgradation, and the anticipated schedule for the next counselling phase. Stay ahead with official updates on seat availability and documentation requirements for Round 3.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially entered the final stages of data reconciliation following the conclusion of NEET PG 2025 Round 2 reporting. As of December 29, 2025, participating medical institutes are submitting the final status of joined and non-reported candidates. This data is pivotal for aspirants, as it forms the basis of the Round 3 seat matrix, often referred to as the mop-up phase for All India Quota (AIQ) seats.

Final Reporting and Resignation Overview

The MCC extended the deadline for reporting and resignation to ensure maximum seat occupancy and provide relief to candidates navigating state and central counselling schedules.

The reporting window for Round 2 ended at 4:00 PM on December 29, 2025.
Candidates who wished to resign from their Round 2 seats without forfeiture of fees had to do so within this stipulated timeframe.
Institutes must now upload the "Joined" candidate data to the intramcc portal to prevent seat blocking in subsequent rounds.

Strategic Roadmap for Round 3 Aspirants

The transition from Round 2 to Round 3 is the last opportunity for many to secure a clinical seat in premium government or deemed universities.

Seat Matrix Analysis: Aspirants should carefully analyze the "Clear Vacancies" versus "Virtual Vacancies" once the MCC releases the official PDF.
Upgradation Rules: Candidates who opted for "Willingness to Upgrade" during Round 2 reporting are automatically eligible for Round 3.
Fresh Registrations: New candidates who did not register in earlier rounds can participate by paying the requisite security deposit.

As the counselling process nears its final stages, precision in choice filling becomes the deciding factor for success. Aspirants are strongly advised to monitor the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in) daily for the verified seat matrix and any sudden changes in the choice-locking timeline.
