The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) expects to start registration for the NEET PG 2025 Round 3 counselling in early January 2026 . This round gives medical students another chance to get admission to MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) courses across India for the 2025 academic year.
MCC recently finished Round 2 counselling for MD/MS programs. Due to an extended time given for students to report for Round 2 seats, the start of Round 3 registration is likely to be delayed. Students who could not get a seat in earlier rounds or did not apply before can now try for admission in Round 3.
What is NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG is a national entrance exam for doctors who want to study postgraduate medical courses like MD and MS. After passing this exam, students go through a counselling process. In counselling, students choose their preferred medical colleges and courses based on their NEET PG scores and ranks. The MCC conducts this counselling to allot seats in government and private medical colleges across the country.
Who Can Apply for Round 3?
Round 3 is important for several groups of students:
- Students who did not get any seat in Round 1 or Round 2.
- Students who did not register or participate in the earlier counselling rounds.
- Students who want to upgrade their seats. This means if a student got a seat in Round 1 or 2 but wants a better college or course, they can apply again. These students can fill new choices in Round 3.

MCC will soon release the exact schedule for NEET PG 2025 Round 3 counselling. Based on current information, here are the expected dates for registration:
