UP NEET PG 2025 Round 3 Choice Filling and Locking Concludes

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has provided a significant update regarding the UP NEET PG 2025 Round 3 process. While the initial schedule aimed for the conclusion of choice filling by early January, the state-level counselling has faced a strategic pause. This decision follows a broader synchronization effort with the All India Quota (AIQ) timeline managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Consequently, while the preliminary registration phase was processed, the official locking and subsequent allotment steps are currently being realigned to ensure a fair distribution of medical seats across the state.

Alignment with All India Quota Schedule

The primary reason for the shift in the counselling timeline is the delay in the commencement of the national-level Round 3 process. The DGME has emphasized that maintaining parity with the AIQ schedule is essential to prevent seat blocking by candidates who might otherwise hold multiple positions simultaneously.

• Official Postponement: The DGME issued a formal notification stating that the Round 3 activities are deferred until further orders.
• Synchronization Strategy: By waiting for the MCC to initiate its third round, the state ensures that any seats reverted from the national pool can be accurately included in the state's seat matrix.
• Impact on Registrations: Candidates who have already completed their registration for UP NEET PG Round 3 will remain eligible, and their details will be carried forward once the new dates are announced.

Tentative Timeline and Seat Management

Despite the current pause, the DGME has prepared a tentative framework for when the process resumes. The focus remains on filling "Clear Vacancies" and virtual vacancies categorized under "Seat Against Cancellation" (SAC). This ensures that every available postgraduate medical seat is accounted for in the final rounds.

Conclusion

The postponement of the UP NEET PG Round 3 choice filling serves as a corrective measure to streamline the admission process. The DGME is expected to release a revised notification on the official portal (upneet.gov.in) shortly after the MCC provides clarity on the national counselling rounds.

• Seat Allotment Accuracy: The delay allows for a more precise seat matrix, incorporating any vacancies arising from the resignation of Round 2 candidates.
• Merit List Integrity: The state merit list, which determines the priority for allotment, remains valid, and no fresh merit calculations are expected unless specifically notified.
• Admission Preparation: While the active window is on hold, candidates are maintaining their documentation to ensure a swift transition to the reporting phase once the results are eventually declared.
