NEET PG Round-3 Result Declared; Reporting Phase Begins Across Medical Colleges

As of February 3, 2026, the Medical Counselling Committee has officially released the final seat allotment results for the third round of NEET PG counselling. This pivotal milestone represents the final major opportunity for medical aspirants to secure postgraduate seats in All India Quota, Deemed, and Central Universities. Candidates who have been successfully allotted seats must now prepare for physical reporting and document verification at their respective medical colleges. This mandatory reporting window is crucial for finalizing admissions before the commencement of the final stray vacancy round later this month, marking the transition into the last phase of the 2025-26 academic cycle

Seat Allotment Results and Essential Reporting Protocol

• Result Declaration: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) published the Round-3 allotment list today, February 3, 2026. Candidates can access their status on the official MCC portal using their NEET PG roll number and password.
• Reporting Window: Successful candidates are required to report to their allotted medical colleges between February 4 and February 11, 2026. Failure to report within this timeframe will lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat.
• Document Readiness: Physical presence at the institute is mandatory. Aspirants must carry original documents, including the MBBS degree, internship completion certificate, and the MCC allotment letter for biometric verification.
• Fee Submission: Tuition fees must be deposited during the reporting phase as per the specific guidelines of the individual medical colleges to confirm the admission.
• College Procedures: Some institutes may require 2-3 days for internal verification and medical fitness tests; hence, candidates are advised to plan their travel and stay accordingly.

Final Phase Dynamics and Policy Enforcement

• Stray Vacancy Eligibility: Those who join their allotted Round-3 seat will be ineligible for the subsequent stray vacancy round. This policy is strictly enforced to prevent seat blocking and ensure a fair distribution of remaining medical seats.
• No Resignation Policy: Once a candidate reports and joins a seat in Round-3, they are not permitted to resign or vacate the seat. This ensures the finality of the allotment process as the academic session gains momentum.
• Seat Matrix Updates: This round saw the addition of nearly 292 new seats following court orders and capacity expansions, providing last-minute relief to many high-ranking aspirants.
• State vs. Central Timelines: While the AIQ reporting concludes by mid-February, State Counselling Authorities are expected to finish their corresponding Round-3 joining processes by February 17, 2026.
