The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on Thursday released the revised schedule for the third round of counselling for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats of NEET-UG 2025. Under the new schedule, the choice-filling process for Round 3 counselling has been completed, and candidates are now awaiting the seat allocation result, which will be released on Saturday.
According to the information released by the MCC, after the declaration of the Round 3 seat allocation result, candidates have been given the time period from October 13 to October 21, 2025, for reporting and joining. During this period, successful candidates will be required to report to their respective colleges with the required documents and complete the admission process.
Under the revised schedule for NEET-UG Round 3, the deadline for choice filling and choice locking has already passed. Now, MCC has postponed the release date for the seat allotment result, clarifying that all candidates should regularly check the website for notifications.
MCC advises all medical and dental candidates to rely only on notifications published on the official website [www.mcc.nic.in] (https://www.mcc.nic.in).
To make the counseling process more transparent and fair, MCC has also released the Clear Vacancy Seat Matrix. It provides information on vacant seats in various medical colleges across the country.

He explained that the total number of vacant MBBS and BDS seats was 4,921, while the addition of the 125 new MBBS seats has now reached 5,046.
The addition of new seats has generated considerable enthusiasm among students. Especially those who were unable to secure a seat in the first two rounds are now hoping for a better chance in the third round.
This amendment could prove to be a “golden chance” for many medical aspirants. He explained that most of the 125 new seats are linked to government medical colleges, which could benefit even lower rankers.
The MCC has also clarified that if a candidate does not join after being allotted seats in Round 3, their seat will be transferred to the next Stray Vacancy Round. Therefore, students should complete the process within the reporting deadline.
The Clear Vacancy Seat Matrix is a document released by the MCC before each round. It contains updated information on the vacant seats available in all medical and dental colleges across the country.
