MCC NEET UG Counselling 2025: Round 3 Schedule Out, Registration From September 29

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the much-awaited schedule for NEET UG 2025 Round 3 (Mop-Up Round). Registration begins on September 29, with the final result set for October 8.

In a crucial development for thousands of medical aspirants, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially released the schedule for Round 3 of the NEET UG 2025 counselling process on its official website, mcc.nic.in. This round, also known as the Mop-Up Round, presents a final opportunity for students who have not yet secured a seat in the previous rounds of the All India Quota (AIQ) and Deemed University counselling.

The detailed schedule for online registration and choice filling has been published, with the entire process set to be completed in less than a month. Aspirants are advised to prepare their documents and be ready to participate actively as the registration window is brief.

Complete Schedule for the Mop-Up Round

The MCC has laid out a clear timeline for all the key events of the third round. Candidates must strictly follow these dates to be eligible for a seat allotment.

• Registration & Payment: September 29 to October 5, 2025
• Choice Filling & Locking: September 30 to October 5, 2025
• Seat Allotment Result: October 8, 2025
• Reporting to Allotted College: October 9 to October 17, 2025

Eligibility and Important Guidelines

The Mop-Up Round has specific eligibility rules. The following candidates can participate:

• New candidates who have not yet registered for NEET UG counselling.
• Aspirants who registered in Round 1 or Round 2 but were not allotted a seat.
• Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 2 but resigned with forfeiture of their security deposit.

A key rule to remember for this round is the "no free exit" policy. If a candidate is allotted a seat in Round 3 and fails to join the college, their security deposit will be forfeited. This also disqualifies them from participating in the subsequent Stray Vacancy Round.

Aspirants are advised to thoroughly check the final seat matrix, which will be published before the registration window opens. For regular updates and notifications, follow Only Education News.
