Meanwhile, the option Registration Fee to be paid will be the amount equal to the annual tuition fee, if Government Medical Colleges (including RCC and Malabar Cancer Centre) only are to be opted, or an amount of Rs 1,00,000 if Self Financing Colleges are to be opted. For SC/ST/OE and other candidates who are eligible for fee concession, the registration fee for Government /Pvt Medical college seats will be half of the above amounts, respectively. The registration fee paid will be refunded to the eligible candidates after the end of counselling. The registration fee of those candidates who do not join the seat allotted will be treated as a penalty and will not be refunded.

PENALTY CONDITIONS IN THE THIRD ALLOTMENT

A candidate allotted a seat in the 3rd phase in the State counselling shall be ineligible to participate in any further counselling. Hence, candidates are advised to exercise due diligence in exercising their options and do not file unwanted options to seats in which they do not wish to pursue studies. The list of candidates admitted as on the last date of admission in Phase 3 will be forwarded to MCC as the list of candidates ineligible to participate in any further rounds of All India or State counselling.

Those candidates who vacate the allotted seat after the cut-off date (09.01.2026, 2:00 PM) specified above will not be considered for further rounds of counselling and a penalty will be initiated as per the Prospectus conditions. This condition is applicable to all the candidates who get admitted in a college based on an allotment in any of the phases (before or after the cut-off date), but the quitting of the seat takes place after the cut-off date.

STRAY VACANCY FILLING PHASE

After the 3rd Phase allotment, if any vacancies exist or arise, those vacancies shall be filled through the Stray vacancy allotment. There will be fresh option registration for the Stray Vacancy filling phase. The net vacant seats due to un-allotted/TC/non-joining of Phase 3 will be published. If vacancies exist even after an initial stray vacancy allotment and if there is sufficient time before the cut-off date for admissions prescribed by the National Medical Commission/MCC, additional stray vacancy allotments may be conducted based on the options registered for the Stray vacancy filling round.

If any candidate vacates a seat joined in the Stray vacancy allotment or vacates a joined seat (joined in any of the previous phases also) after the Stray vacancy allotment process, he/she will be liable to pay liquidated damages as per Clause 10.1.19 (4) of the Prospectus.

Moreover, the vacant seats are published on the website of the CEE. Candidates shall register options for any seats they wish to join if allotted, irrespective of the vacancy status notified, as any vacancy that may arise during the counselling will also be filled based on these options. As applicable category conversions of seats will also take place in the third phase allotment, while registering options for the third phase allotment, candidates are advised to take into account those probable vacancies that may arise due to the applicable category conversions.
