In a crucial last-minute update for medical aspirants participating in the National Eligibility and Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2025 counselling, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), has announced the addition of 50 new MBBS seats to the Round 3 seat matrix. This unexpected increment offers a final, vital opportunity for candidates vying for a spot in one of the country's medical colleges.

The announcement was made official via a notice released by the MCC, which confirms that all 50 additional seats belong to the DY Patil University School of Medicine, Ambi, Taluka Maval, Pune, a prominent institution categorized under the Deemed University quota. The decision to integrate these seats into the ongoing Round 3 cycle aims to fill as many vacancies as possible before the admissions process concludes.

Breakdown of New Seats

The 50 newly added MBBS seats are divided across two different quota types within the Deemed University category at the Pune institution:

• Deemed/Paid Quota: 43 seats have been added, significantly increasing the availability for students seeking admission via the paid seats in the Deemed University system.
• NRI Quota: 7 seats have been included for candidates applying under the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota.

This addition of 50 seats is a substantial increase for a single institution in the latter stages of counselling and requires immediate attention from candidates, particularly those who have participated in previous rounds but failed to secure a desired seat or are now eligible due to the last-minute inclusion.

Impact on Round 3 Schedule

The NEET UG Round 3 counselling is already at an advanced stage. The processing of seat allotment concluded on October 7, and the results were announced on October 8, 2025. The current period, from October 9 to October 17, 2025, is dedicated to the reporting and joining of allotted candidates. The MCC’s timely addition of these 50 seats means that the allotment for the Deemed University category might see a supplementary release or that these seats will be made available to candidates during the current reporting period.

Medical aspirants are strongly advised to check the official MCC website for precise instructions on how these new seats will be incorporated into the current Round 3 allotment. Since this is effectively the last significant opportunity before the final mop-up rounds, students must utilize the official portal to update their choices if permitted or look for any revised allotment lists.

The inclusion of these seats, following the previous addition of eight seats at Guru Gobind Singh Medical College, Faridkot, further underscores the dynamic nature of the counselling process. Every aspirant who is qualified but yet to secure an MBBS seat must stay updated to benefit from these final seat matrix changes.
