MCC Round 3 UG Counselling: New MBBS Seats Ignite Hope as Schedule Gets Revised!

In a significant and much-anticipated development, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has brought a fresh wave of opportunities for NEET UG aspirants by adding new MBBS seats and revising the schedule for Round 3 of UG Counselling 2023. This crucial update comes as a beacon of hope for thousands of candidates vying for a coveted spot in medical and dental colleges across the nation.

The revised schedule, now live on the official MCC website (mcc.nic.in), outlines the key dates for registration, choice filling, and seat allocation.

Aspirants must note that the window for Round 3 registration and choice filling is currently open. It is imperative for all eligible candidates to act swiftly and strategically to secure their preferred institutions.

A critical deadline to remember is the choice locking period, which will commence at 03:00 PM on September 14, 2023, and conclude at 11:55 PM on the same day.

Following this, the MCC will release the provisional result for Round 3 on September 15, 2023, with the final result expected on September 16, 2023. Candidates allotted seats will then have from September 18 to September 25, 2023, to report to their respective colleges for admission formalities.

Adding to the excitement, the MCC has officially incorporated 23 new MBBS seats into the counselling process.

These additions are spread across several prestigious institutions, including 15 new seats at ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Bihta, Patna, and 8 new seats at Employees State Insurance Corporation Medical College, Gulbarga. These newly added seats provide an enhanced chance for more candidates to fulfill their aspirations of becoming medical professionals.

Understanding the eligibility criteria for Round 3 is paramount.

New candidates who have not yet registered for NEET UG counselling are eligible to do so. Furthermore, candidates who were not allotted any seat in Round 1 or Round 2, or those who opted for an 'Exit with Forfeiture' option in previous rounds, can also participate. However, candidates who have already been allotted and joined a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 are not eligible to participate in Round 3.

Aspirants should also be mindful of the upgradation rules.

Candidates who received a seat in Round 2 and wish to upgrade can participate in Round 3. If they are allotted an upgraded seat, their previous Round 2 seat will automatically be forfeited. If no upgrade is allotted, they retain their Round 2 seat. It is crucial to read the official information bulletin for comprehensive details on upgradation policies.

Another vital aspect for participants to consider is the security deposit forfeiture rule.

Candidates who are allotted a seat in Round 3 but fail to report to the college within the stipulated time, or decline the seat, will have their security deposit forfeited. This emphasizes the importance of making informed decisions during the choice filling and locking process.

This revised schedule and the addition of new seats underscore the MCC's commitment to ensuring a fair and transparent admission process.

Aspirants are strongly advised to regularly visit the official MCC website for the latest updates and to carefully review the information bulletin to navigate the counselling process successfully. The dream of a medical career is now closer for many, thanks to these timely and impactful changes.
