The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) extended the NEET UG 2025 Round 3 choice filling deadline. Candidates can now select and lock their preferred medical and dental colleges until 11:59 PM on October 13, 2025 . This extension comes as the MCC prepares to announce the Round 3 seat allotment results soon on its official website, mcc.nic.in.
The decision to extend the choice filling period considers the recent authorization of additional seats. A total of 9,075 new MBBS seats have been approved for the 2025–2026 academic year. These new positions exclude those available in AIIMS and JIPMER institutions. The expanded seat count significantly impacts the overall seat matrix for NEET UG 2025 counselling.
The MCC revised the NEET UG seat matrix 2025 following modifications to medical college seat approval statuses. These revisions ensure the counselling process reflects the most current and accurate number of available seats. The updated matrix offers increased opportunities for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate medical and dental programs across India.

Understanding the NEET UG Counselling Procedure 2025
The NEET UG counselling process for undergraduate medical and dental programs follows a structured approach. Understanding each stage is crucial for candidates:
- Step 1: Registration and Fee Payment. Candidates must register online and pay the necessary counselling fees. This step is mandatory to participate in the seat allocation process. The fees typically include a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit.
- Step 2: Choice Filling and Locking. Registered candidates select their preferred courses and colleges from the available options. After making selections, candidates must lock their choices before the specified deadline. Unlocked choices may not be considered for allotment.
- Step 3: Seat Allotment. The MCC processes the submitted choices based on candidate merit, preferences, and seat availability. Results are published online, indicating the college and course allotted to each candidate.
- Step 4: Reporting to the Allotted College. Candidates who accept their allotted seat must physically report to the designated Medical or Dental College. This step involves document verification and completion of admission formalities by the given deadline. Failure to report may lead to forfeiture of the allotted seat.
- Step 5: Re-allotment of Vacant Seats. If seats remain unfilled after the initial rounds of counselling and reporting, the MCC conducts further rounds for re-allotment. This process helps ensure that all available seats are filled efficiently.
The MCC advises candidates to regularly check mcc.nic.in for the latest notifications and updates regarding the counselling schedule and allotment results.
