The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has opened registration for Round 3 of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test – Postgraduate (NEET PG 2025) counselling. Candidates can register on the official website, mcc.nic.in, until 4 PM on January 26 .
NEET PG is the qualifying and ranking examination for admission to various postgraduate medical courses, including MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), and PG Diploma programs, across medical colleges in India. The counselling process manages the allocation of these specialized medical seats based on candidate ranks and preferences. Round 3 provides another opportunity for eligible candidates to secure admissions.
Key Deadlines for Applicants
Following registration, the choice filling process begins on January 16 . During this period, registered candidates must select their preferred medical colleges and postgraduate courses. Candidates can submit their choices until 11:55 PM on January 26 . Submitting preferences is mandatory for seat consideration in this round.
The MCC will initiate the NEET PG seat allotment process on January 27 . The results, indicating which candidates have been provisionally allotted seats, will be announced on January 29 . Candidates must check the MCC website for their allotment status.
Candidates provisionally allotted seats in Round 3 must report to their assigned colleges for document verification and admission confirmation.

Revised Cut-Off Scores
The MCC has announced revised qualifying cut-offs for NEET PG 2025 Round 3 counselling. These revisions aim to ensure broader participation in the subsequent counselling rounds. The minimum qualifying percentile for different candidate categories has been significantly reduced.
| Category | Revised NEET PG Cut-off Percentile | Revised NEET PG 2025 Cut-off Score |
|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 7th percentile | 103 |
| SC/ ST/ OBC | 0th percentile | -40 |
| UR-PwD | 5th percentile | 90 |
A 0th percentile cut-off means all candidates belonging to the SC/ST/OBC categories who appeared for the NEET PG exam are now eligible to participate in Round 3 counselling, regardless of their raw score relative to others, provided they meet other criteria.
