• Valid photo ID proof
• Category or PwBD certificate, if applicable
• Passport-size photographs

What Candidates Should Note

• Choice locking must be completed within the given window. Choices that are not locked may not be considered for seat allotment.
• Candidates who are allotted a seat must report to the college within the reporting period. Missing the last date can lead to loss of the seat.
• The dates above can be revised by MCC, so candidates should check the official notice on mcc.nic.in regularly.

MCC has also announced a separate sixth round of counselling for BDS and BSc Nursing seats, with registration and choice filling scheduled from November 17 to 19.

Why Choice Locking Is Critical

Choice filling counts only after the choices are locked. Preferences that are filled but not locked may not be considered for allotment. The portal does not allow changes after the deadline, so candidates should review the order of their preferences before locking.

Round 3 is the last full counselling round for UP NEET UG 2026. After it, the stray vacancy round has fewer seats and stricter rules, so this is the final main chance to get a seat in a government or private medical or dental college in Uttar Pradesh.

How to Fill and Lock Choices on upneet.gov.in

1. Visit the official counselling website, upneet.gov.in.
2. Log in with your registration credentials.
3. Open the Round 3 choice filling section.

Tips for the Last Few Hours

• Complete the process well before 5 PM, as the portal may be slow in the final hour.
• Add as many choices as you realistically would accept. Too few choices reduce your chances of getting a seat.
• List your most preferred colleges first, since allotment follows your preference order and merit rank.
• Keep a printout or screenshot of your locked choices for later reference.

What Happens After the Deadline

Once the window closes, the DGME UP will process the locked choices against the state merit list and the Round 3 seat matrix. Allotted candidates can check their result on upneet.gov.in on November 2 and should follow the reporting instructions in the allotment letter. Candidates who are not allotted a seat can look out for the stray vacancy round notification on the same website.

Of these, 729 are MBBS seats and 158 are BDS seats. Private colleges account for 721 of the 887 seats, while 166 seats are in government institutions.

Points to Keep in Mind

Seat allotment is based on the merit list, the choices filled and the seats available. Candidates should enter as many choices as possible, because a seat can only be allotted from the colleges listed. Locked choices are used for allotment, so review the order carefully before locking.

After the result on November 2, allotted candidates must download their allotment letters and complete the admission process between November 3 and 7. Seat security fee rules apply, so candidates should read the counselling guidelines before locking their choices.

What Has MCC Announced?

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which conducts all-India counselling for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc. Nursing seats, has allowed stray round reporting until 2:00 PM today. The update appears under the latest news section of the official UG Medical Counselling page on mcc.nic.in.

According to MCC, some institutes had not completed the admission formalities for stray round candidates because of technical issues. The extension ensures that allotted candidates are not denied admission because of problems at the institute’s end.

Who Should Report Before 2 PM?

The deadline applies to candidates who were allotted a seat in the NEET UG 2026 stray round and have not yet joined their allotted institute. Candidates who have already completed reporting and admission formalities do not need to do anything further.

What Should Candidates Do Now?

1. Go to the allotted college immediately, as the cut-off is 2:00 PM today.
2. Carry the stray round allotment letter, along with original documents and photocopies as mentioned in the MCC notice.
3. Complete document verification and admission formalities at the institute.
4. Pay the fees where applicable and collect the admission receipt.

What Happens If a Candidate Misses the Deadline?

The stray round is the final round of MCC’s NEET UG 2026 counselling, which followed Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3. A candidate who does not report within the time allowed may lose the allotted seat, and no further MCC round is available after this one. Candidates should not wait for another extension.

Where Can Candidates Get Help?

MCC provides a 24×7 toll-free helpline, listed in the Contact Us section of its website. Candidates can also call 7824848020 or write to mcc2026@gov.in. Updates should be checked only on the official MCC website, mcc.nic.in.

What Happened in the Stray Vacancy Round

KEA published the seat allotment results of the Stray Vacancy Round for medical and dental courses on October 22. Candidates who took part in that round by paying the requisite fee but were not allotted any medical seat were then asked to enter their options before October 25. The allotment results of that stage were announced on October 25. The extended round now follows, to fill the seats that are still vacant.
