The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially entered the concluding stage of the NEET PG 2025 Round-3 counselling process. As of today, February 8, 2026, thousands of postgraduate medical aspirants are racing against time to complete their physical reporting at allotted medical colleges. Following the release of the final seat allotment results on February 6, candidates have been granted a window until February 11, 2026, to finalize their admissions. This round remains a critical juncture for those seeking MD, MS, and DNB seats, especially following the recent reduction in qualifying cut-off percentiles which significantly expanded the eligible candidate pool.
Essential Reporting Protocols and Physical Verification
The reporting process for Round-3 is strictly physical, requiring candidates to visit their respective allotted institutes in person. The MCC has explicitly stated that online reporting or provisional acknowledgement will not be considered a valid confirmation of admission. Candidates must check the National Medical Commission guidelines regarding the validity of their MBBS degrees and registration certificates before heading to the colleges.
- Mandatory Presence: Candidates must appear at the college with all original academic and identification documents.
- Allotment Letter Generation: Institutes must generate the admission letter through the MCC portal; any admission confirmed without this online generation is deemed null and void.
- Fee Submission: The admission process is only complete once the prescribed tuition fee is paid and a receipt is issued by the institute.
- Security Deposit: Candidates who were allotted seats in Round-3 but fail to report will face forfeiture of their security deposit as per the counselling scheme rules.
Revised Allotment Statistics and Seat Matrix
The Round-3 results were published after a minor delay due to technical revisions and the withdrawal of a few duplicate seats. This final list has paved the way for a significant number of fresh entries into the postgraduate medical system. For further details on seat availability, candidates can refer to the official Directorate General of Health Services portal.
| Category of Allotment | Total Number of Candidates |

| Candidates Remaining Unallotted | 4,578 |

- Fresh Allotments: Over 10,000 students received a seat for the first time in this round, necessitating a quick turnaround for document preparation.

Document Checklist for Final Admission
To ensure a smooth transition and avoid last-minute disqualifications, the MCC has advised all candidates to maintain a comprehensive dossier of credentials. Failure to produce even a single original document can lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat. All certificates must align with the standards set by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
- Academic Credentials: NEET PG 2025 Admit Card, Rank Letter, and MBBS Degree/Provisional Certificate.
- Registration Proof: Permanent or provisional registration certificate issued by the NMC or State Medical Council.
- Identity and Residency: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Passport, along with recent passport-size photographs.

With the February 11 deadline fast approaching, candidates are urged to complete their document verification and fee payments immediately to secure their specialized medical training slots.
