NEET PG 2025 Round 3 Reporting Deadline Alert

The final countdown is on for NEET PG 2025 aspirants who secured a seat in Counselling Round 3. The mandatory reporting and admission deadline is October 27, 2025. Candidates must physically report to their allotted medical colleges between October 19 and October 27, 2025, with all original documents to secure their coveted postgraduate medical seats. Missing this deadline will lead to forfeiture of the seat. This news provides a comprehensive checklist and essential next steps for a smooth admission process.

As the academic session for 2025-26 gets underway, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has set a definitive deadline for all candidates allotted seats in the crucial Round 3 of the counselling process. The reporting period, which commenced on October 19, 2025, is nearing its end, with the final day for all mandatory admission formalities being October 27, 2025. This date is non-negotiable and marks the last opportunity for selected candidates to secure their Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Master of Surgery (MS) seats through the regular rounds. Aspirants are strongly advised to complete their physical reporting and document verification well in advance to avoid last-minute administrative or logistical hurdles.

​The Round 3 allotment is particularly significant as it often fills a substantial number of remaining seats, making the reporting and admission steps a critical juncture in a medical professional's career. Ensure your preparation goes beyond the academic rigour to include meticulous attention to the administrative requirements outlined below.

​Mandatory Reporting: What to Do Before October 27, 2025

​The process of reporting is a multi-step affair that requires physical presence at the designated college and the verification of academic and personal documents. Candidates must treat the October 27 deadline as the absolute cut-off for finalizing their admission.

• ​Secure Your Provisional Allotment Letter:
  • ​Candidates must first download and print the seat allotment letter from the official MCC website. This document is the primary evidence of your seat allocation and is mandatory for admission.
  • ​Failing to download the letter or forgetting to carry it will severely complicate or delay the admission process at the allotted institute.
• ​Pay the Necessary Fees: 
  • ​Before reporting, candidates are typically required to pay the first-year tuition fee or a portion of it, along with a refundable security deposit, as specified by the respective college or university.
  • ​Carry proof of all fee payments (bank challans, online payment receipts) to the college for verification.
• ​Complete Physical Reporting:
  • ​You must physically visit the allotted college or institution between October 19 and October 27, 2025.
  • ​This step includes final in-person document verification and the completion of all admission formalities, including signing bonds or undertaking agreements as required by the state or institution.

​The Critical Document Checklist for Verification

​Document verification is arguably the most crucial step, as any discrepancy or missing paperwork can lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat. Aspirants must compile an exhaustive list of documents, carrying both the originals and multiple sets of self-attested photocopies.

• ​Essential Academic and Exam Records:
  • ​NEET PG 2025 Admit Card.
  • ​NEET PG 2025 Result/Rank Letter.
  • ​Provisional/Final Allotment Letter issued by MCC.
  • ​MBBS Mark Sheets (all professional examinations).
  • ​MBBS Degree Certificate or Provisional Certificate.
  • ​Internship Completion Certificate (must be completed by the specified cut-off date).
• ​Registration and Identity Proof:
  • ​Permanent or Provisional Registration Certificate issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC) or State Medical Council (SMC).
  • ​High School/Higher Secondary Certificate (\text{Class 10}^{\text{th}}) for Date of Birth verification.
  • ​Valid Photo ID Proof (Aadhaar Card, Passport, PAN Card, Driving License).
  • ​\text{Passport-size Photographs} (at least 6-8 copies, preferably the same as uploaded in the NEET PG application form).
• ​Category and Other Certificates (If Applicable): 
  • ​Caste Certificate (SC/ST/OBC) in the central government prescribed format.
  • ​Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) Certificate for OBC candidates, issued within the latest prescribed timeframe.
  • ​Economically Weaker Section (EWS) Certificate issued by the competent authority.
  • ​Person with Benchmark Disability (PwD) Certificate, if claiming a quota.
  • ​Transfer Certificate and Migration Certificate from the previous institution/university.

​Post-Deadline Scenario: Understanding Next Steps

​The reporting deadline of October 27, 2025, marks the final closing of the admission process for the Round 3 allotted candidates. Aspirants who successfully report and complete their formalities will have officially secured their PG medical seat.

• ​Forfeiture and Future Rounds:
  • ​Any seat not claimed by reporting to the college before 5:00 PM on October 27 will automatically be considered forfeited and will likely be transferred to the subsequent rounds, such as the Stray Vacancy Round.
  • ​Candidates who fail to report will also forfeit their refundable security deposit.
• ​The Stray Vacancy Round: 
  • ​Post-Round 3, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and/or state authorities will conduct a Stray Vacancy Round to fill any seats that remain vacant after the reporting of all previous rounds.
  • ​Only candidates who have not been allotted a seat in any previous round are typically eligible to participate in the Stray Vacancy Round. Successful reporting in Round 3 eliminates a candidate from any further counselling.
• ​Commencement of Academics:
  • ​After the official closing of the Round 3 admissions, the respective colleges will initiate the academic session. Newly admitted postgraduates must be ready to begin their residency training and academic obligations immediately.

​Conclusion: A Call to Action

​The October 27 2025, deadline for NEET PG 2025 Counselling Round 3 reporting is more than just a date; it is the official gateway to your postgraduate medical career. With the window for reporting closing soon, candidates who have received an allotment must prioritize this mandatory step. Ensure all documents are in order, fees are prepared, and reporting is completed well within the stipulated timeframe. Procrastination at this critical stage is not an option. Secure your seat, complete your admission, and prepare to embark on the challenging yet rewarding journey of medical specialization.
