The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the final seat allotment results for NEET UG 2025 Round 3 on October 23. If you participated in the counselling process, you can now check your allotted institution on the official website mcc.nic.in.
This announcement comes after several delays. The initial schedule set October 8 as the release date, but MCC pushed it back after adding 11,647 new MBBS seats to the pool. The delay aimed to ensure fair distribution of these additional seats across all eligible candidates.
When to Report to Your College
Candidates who received seat allotments in Round 3 must report to their assigned colleges between October 24 and November 1, 2025. This seven-day window gives you enough time to gather documents and complete the admission formalities.
The provisional seat allotment result came out on October 22, and MCC allowed candidates to raise objections until 6 PM the same day. After reviewing these concerns, the committee released the final allotment list.
Understanding the Delay
You might wonder why the schedule changed. The addition of nearly 12,000 new MBBS seats required careful planning. MCC wanted to make sure every deserving candidate got a fair chance at these seats. The committee took extra time to process applications and distribute seats properly.
This approach makes sense when you consider the stakes. Medical education shapes careers and lives. Getting the distribution right matters more than rushing the process.

Important Points to Remember
When you report to your allotted college, bring all required documents. These typically include your NEET scorecard, identity proof, category certificate (if applicable), and previous academic records. Contact your college directly to confirm their specific requirements.
Make your payment before 3 PM on November 9 if you plan to participate in the stray vacancy round. Missing this deadline means you cannot proceed with choice filling, even if you registered.
The choice locking window for the stray vacancy round runs from 4 PM to 11:55 PM on November 9. You must lock your choices during this time. The system will not accept any changes after the deadline.
How to Check Your Allotment
Visit mcc.nic.in and look for the Round 3 seat allotment link on the homepage. Log in using your credentials. Your allotment details will appear on the screen, showing your assigned college, course, and category.
Download the allotment letter. You will need to present this document when you report to your college. Keep both digital and physical copies for safety.
If You Did Not Get a Seat
Not getting a seat in Round 3 does not mean the end of your journey. The stray vacancy round opens on November 4. This round specifically targets unfilled seats from previous rounds.
Register between November 4 and 9. Fill your choices carefully, considering all available options. The stray vacancy round has helped many students secure admission in previous years.
Making the Most of Your Admission
Once you receive your allotment, act quickly. Reach out to seniors or current students from your allotted college. They can provide practical advice about the admission process, hostel facilities, and what to expect in the first few weeks.
Join online groups or forums for your college batch. These communities share valuable information about document requirements, travel arrangements, and local accommodations. You will find answers to questions you had not even thought to ask.
The institutions will verify candidate data between November 2 and 3. This process ensures that everyone who reported actually meets the eligibility criteria. It also helps colleges plan for the incoming batch.
Medical education demands dedication and hard work. Your admission marks the beginning of an intense but rewarding journey. Prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for the challenges ahead. Connect with your family and friends. Their support will matter during tough times.
Remember to complete all formalities within the given deadlines. Missing a deadline could cost you your seat. Set reminders on your phone. Mark important dates on your calendar. Stay organized throughout the process.
