The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced a revised schedule for NEET PG 2024 Round 3 counselling, extending key deadlines due to reduced cutoff percentile and delays in certain state-level counselling. Candidates can now register for the third round of NEET PG counselling until January 22, 2025, via the official website.
Round 3 Key Dates
Candidates already allotted seats in previous rounds can resign during the specified period, allowing the vacated seats to be included in the current allotment round. MCC has also clarified that Round 3 will be the final round for upgradation.
- Choice Locking: Available from January 22 to January 23, 2025.
- Result Declaration: Scheduled for January 25, 2025.
- Reporting to Colleges: Candidates must report to their allotted colleges by February 3, 2025.
MCC stated that the revised schedule aims to accommodate candidates affected by delayed counselling results in some states, particularly Rajasthan, where Round 2 results were recently declared. This adjustment ensures fairness and gives candidates adequate time for their decisions.
Stray Vacancy Round Details
The stray vacancy round, which follows the main counselling, will commence on February 7, 2025, with results to be declared on February 14, 2025. Candidates must report to their allotted colleges by February 28, 2025.
