As per the official notice issued on February 3, 2026, candidates can now complete Round 3 registration and withdraw from previously allotted seats till February 5, 2026, up to 5:00 PM. The decision is expected to provide additional time for candidates who are still evaluating their admission options or awaiting clarity regarding seat availability.
However, CENTAC has clearly stated that the deadline for submission of fresh applications by candidates who became eligible following the reduction in NEET PG cut-off percentile remains unchanged. Such candidates must submit their applications by February 4, 2026, 5:00 PM, after which the application portal will be closed. No further extension will be granted for this category.
"The last date for Round 3 Registration and withdrawal of Round 1 / Round 2 admission to PG Medical (M.D./M.S.) courses is extended till 05.02.2026, 5.00 p.m. The last date for submission of fresh application for candidates who have become eligible due to lowering of cut-off is NOT extended and will be closed on 04.02.2026, 5.00 p.m," the notice read
The committee has also informed that SMS notifications have been sent to eligible candidates to ensure timely awareness of the revised schedule. Candidates are advised to regularly check official updates to avoid missing important deadlines during the counselling process.
For detailed information regarding counselling procedures, registration, and withdrawal guidelines, candidates can visit the official CENTAC website. Queries can also be raised through the Grievances section available in the candidate login dashboard. Additionally, candidates may seek assistance through the CENTAC helpline numbers during working hours.
The extension comes at a crucial stage of the counselling process and is expected to help streamline admissions while offering flexibility to candidates navigating multiple counselling rounds.
