What Changes in Round 3 of UP NEET UG Counselling?
Round 3 opens for fresh registration unlike Round 2. Candidates who missed the earlier rounds get a final chance before the stray vacancy round. Seat matrix updates include seats surrendered by the central MCC pool after Round 3 of all India counselling.
Private college seats also come in larger numbers in this round. The upgradation rule applies for candidates who want a better allotment. Candidates must read the fresh information bulletin for exact seat matrix details.
Round 3 is the last full counselling stage before the stray vacancy round. The stray round offers limited seats and strict rules. Students who miss Round 3 may lose their best shot at a state MBBS seat.
