MCC NEET Counselling 2025 Round 3 Registration is an important chance for medical aspirants who could not obtain a seat in an earlier round or would like to apply for others that may be more preferable.
The Medical Counselling Committee, MCC, is running the 3rd round of counselling which once again provides an opportunity for candidates to register fresh again, exercise their preference, and subsequently compete for MBBS, BDS, and other medical seats under certain circumstances.
All India Quota, AIQ, Central Universities, Deemed Universities, AIIMS, and JIPMER will be available on the registration form. Unlike in previous rounds, candidates absolutely cannot use their previous registration to fill in their preferences, as all candidates will have to re-register and fill in their preferences again.
Round 3 registration will take place between 29 September 2025 and 5 October 2025, up until 12:00 Noon as per server time, with payment available until 3:00 PM on 5 October 2025, after which the offer of seats will be made, and candidates will need to report to their instituted allotment from 9 October 2025 and 17 October 2025 to complete all of the admissions required. The stakes are higher in this round, so it is important for candidates to register carefully, pay fees by the required time, and select their preferences wisely.

MCC NEET Counselling 2025 Registration Process
The foremost and crucial phase that a candidate needs to follow during the MCC NEET Counselling 2025 registration is the process of registering itself. There are a few steps that each candidate needs to complete properly:
Step 1: Contact Information
All candidates need to check the mobile number and email id they have provided in order to apply for the NEET UG application. Candidates need to check and ensure there are no mistakes in the contact information they have provided in the NEET UG application. These are the primary means of registering and communicate with the candidate regarding their counselling.
Step 2: Await Communication
The counselling authority (MCC of DGHS, MoHFW) will communicate updates, notices, and all other correspondence related to the counselling to the candidates via email notification or SMS. As such, it is recommended that you check your email account and messages on a regular basis.
Step 3: No Changes Allowed
Requests for changes to your mobile number or email address will not be entertained once you have registered. Candidates are expected to check these details carefully and ensure they are using valid up-to-date contact details.
Step 4: Device and Browser
Recommended for Registration and Choice Filling. Candidates must register and choose their choices on a laptop or desktop device and using a current browser (e.g., Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox). Mobile device usage is not suggested due to potential for technical issues.
Step 5: Register on the MCC Website
After understanding the eligibility requirements, candidates must go to the MCC official website (www.mcc.nic.in) and complete the registration process; this is how the seat allotment process begins. Any candidate who seeks counselling must also register.
Step 6: Sandes App for OTP
Candidates must download the Sandes App to obtain OTPs sent to the registered mobile number during the registration process. This is a step to verify the candidate.
Step 7: Upload Required Certificates
After declaration of NEET UG Results, the candidates must upload all necessary certificates as required on the MCC portal. If documents are not uploaded, the candidate may be disqualified.
