A big update has come out for thousands of medical students waiting for the counseling of NEET PG 2025. After the change in the qualifying cut-off percentile, the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) has released the complete schedule of the third round of counselling. Along with this, the registration process for the third round has also started. This is considered to be the last and important chance for the candidates who have passed the NEET PG 2025 examination, but till now they have not been able to find the medical college or course of their choice.
According to the information released by MCC, registration for the third round of counseling has started from 15 January 2026 and interested candidates can apply till 26 January 2026.

Candidates who do not apply on time may be out of this round.
This time there has been a lot of discussion and controversy regarding the qualifying cut-off of NEET PG. By making drastic changes in the cut-off, it has been reduced to minus 40 marks.

After this decision, a large number of candidates who were earlier left out due to cut-off will also be able to take part in the third round.
