Overview
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will conduct NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 3 for eligible candidates seeking admission to participating MBBS, BDS and other undergraduate medical programmes. This is an admission process rather than a recruitment drive; therefore, there are no posts or job vacancies, and the total number of available seats will be confirmed through the Round 3 seat matrix on mcc.nic.in.
Candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 and meet the applicable counselling rules must register online, pay the prescribed fee, submit their choices and lock them within the announced deadline. Applicants should verify the final schedule from the official portal before completing any activity.

- Applicants should have passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology, and English, subject to prevailing admission regulations.
- Candidates must fulfil the eligibility conditions prescribed for MBBS, BDS or the relevant undergraduate medical course.
- Only candidates permitted under the MCC counselling rules may participate in Round 3. Eligibility can depend on previous-round registration, allotment, joining and resignation status.
- Applicants must possess valid educational, identity, category and NEET UG documents at the time of reporting.
Age Limit
- The candidate should generally have completed 17 years of age on or before December 31, 2026, subject to the applicable NEET UG admission rules.
- Any upper-age condition, relaxation or related eligibility requirement will be governed by the current NTA, NMC, MCC and court-approved regulations.
- Candidates should consult the NEET UG 2026 information bulletin and MCC counselling notification for the final age provisions.
Fees
- Candidates must pay the applicable non-refundable registration fee through the online payment facility.
- A refundable security deposit may also be required, depending on the candidate category and type of institution selected.
- Fee amounts for deemed universities and other participating institutions may differ from those for government counselling seats.
- The final fee structure and payment deadline will be available in the official Round 3 notification.
Selection Process
- Registration and choice submission: Eligible candidates must register, pay the required charges and submit their preferred colleges and courses within the specified period.
- Merit-based seat allotment: MCC will process choices based on NEET UG 2026 rank, category, reservation rules, seat availability and the order of preferences submitted by the candidate.
- Document verification and admission: Allotted candidates must download the allotment letter, report to the designated institution, complete document verification and pay the admission fee within the deadline.
Merely registering for counselling does not guarantee admission. A seat is allotted only when the candidate's merit position, eligibility, preference and seat availability permit allocation.
