NEET PG Counselling: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will begin the choice locking facility for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG 2024) Round 3 counselling today at 8 pm. Candidates who are eligible for PG medical admission as per the reduced NEET PG cut-off can fill in their course and college choices in order of preference on the official website mcc.nic.in.

The NEET PG counselling 2024 schedule was revised after the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) announced its decision to reduce the NEET PG cut-off in an effort to reduce the number of vacant seats after the conclusion of the counselling process. Following this decision, the MCC notified a revised schedule and allowed eligible candidates to register till today.

Choice locking window will open at 8 pm

The NEET PG choice filling facility for round 3 counselling has already begun and the choice locking window will be opened at 8 pm tonight. Candidates will be able to fill choices and lock their choices till 8 am on January 16. "The choices once locked cannot be modified and no request will be entertained from MCC/DGHS regarding change/modification of choices," the MCC said.

How many seats for round 3

A total of 24,314 seats have been notified by MCC for NEET PG Round 3 Counselling 2024. Out of these, 15,902 are virtual vacancies, 99 are newly added seats and 8,313 are clear vacancies. Virtual vacancy in NEET PG refers to the allotted seats that are currently marked vacant due to candidates choosing the upgrade option. Clear vacancy is the seat that was not allotted in the previous round. MCC said, "It is advised that the participating candidates should fill up to a total of 30-40 options."
