Medical Candidates Prepare for Reporting and Admission Formalities Post Seat Allotment

Candidates allotted medical seats in NEET PG Round 3 and INI CET Round 2 must complete reporting by Jan 15–17. Check the document list and admission formalities.

With the release of major seat allotment results across both national and state levels, thousands of medical graduates have now entered the final phase of the admission cycle. Following the recent announcements of the INI CET Round 2 results and the ongoing progress of NEET PG Round 3, the focus has shifted entirely to physical reporting. Candidates are currently mobilized to complete their verification processes at designated medical colleges to secure their postgraduate residency spots. This period is historically known for its high stakes, as any procedural delay or missing document can result in the automatic cancellation of a hard-earned seat.

Mandatory Documentation and Institutional Verification

The reporting process requires a meticulous approach to paperwork. Each candidate must present a set of original certificates alongside multiple photocopies to the college administration. These documents serve as the final proof of the candidate’s eligibility, academic background, and category status.

• Core Academic Records: All students are required to produce their MBBS degree or provisional passing certificate, along with professional mark sheets and the compulsory rotatory internship completion letter.
• Identity and Rank Proof: The official allotment letter, which can be downloaded from the respective MCC or AIIMS portals, must be presented along with the entrance exam admit card and score card.
• Registration Credentials: A valid permanent or provisional registration certificate issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC) or a State Medical Council is a non-negotiable requirement for starting any residency program.

Comparative Timeline for Final Reporting

To ensure a synchronized academic start, various authorities have aligned their reporting windows. Candidates must plan their travel and local logistics to reach their allotted institutes before the daily office hours conclude on the final dates.

Conclusion

The transition from being a seat-holder to a registered student depends entirely on the successful completion of these reporting formalities. As the mid-January deadlines approach, the administration at various medical universities is working at full capacity to process the influx of new graduates.

• Finality of Admission: Once the fees are paid and the original documents are submitted, the admission is considered "frozen," effectively concluding the candidate's journey through the 2025–26 counselling season.
• Verification Accuracy: The verification teams are particularly vigilant about the validity of category certificates (OBC/EWS), which must be issued within the prescribed dates to remain valid for this session.
• Commencement of Residency: Following the conclusion of these formalities, the academic session for the new batch is set to commence, marking the start of specialized medical residency training for doctors across the nation.
