IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ONLINE COUNSELLING FOR THE THIRD CYCLE UNDER THE UP NEET PG 2025 GUIDANCE

1 Seat allocation in the third round of counselling will be based on the merit list of the third round.

2 Unallocated and admitted candidates from the first/second round of counselling will not be required to deposit the security amount again to participate in the third round of counselling.

3 Candidates allotted seats in the second round of counselling who do not accept admission or resign after admission will have their entire security deposit forfeited. Therefore, if such candidates wish to participate in the third round of counselling, they may participate only after depositing the security deposit again.

4 During choice filling in the third round of counselling, the vacant/not reported and resigned seats of the second round will be displayed to the candidates as a clear-cut vacancy. In addition to the above vacancies, the option of Seat Against Cancellation (SAC) will also be displayed. SAC seats are a type of virtual vacancy. If the seat of a previously admitted candidate is upgraded, his/her seat will be allotted to another candidate based on merit and/or choice, as per the rules.

5 It is mandatory for the candidate to lock the choice after filling in the choice. In case of not locking the choice, the candidate will not be included in the seat allotment process, for which the candidate himself will be solely responsible.

6 After the choice is locked by the candidate, no change or alteration can be made in it and no application received in this regard in the Directorate General will be considered.

7 If a candidate is allocated a different seat based on their re-allocation option, the previously allocated seat will automatically become vacant and be allocated to another candidate. In the absence of re-allocation, the candidate's previously occupied seat will remain unchanged.

8 The candidate must ensure that for re-allotment, other options/choices are filled only after leaving the option of the previously admitted seat, otherwise in case the previously admitted seat is re-allotted, the candidate will have to appear at the nodal centre and complete the admission process as before.

9 It will be mandatory for the candidate to get admission in the seat allotted by the third round of counselling for government and private sector medical colleges, otherwise the entire security amount deposited will be confiscated.

10 If a candidate admitted in Government Medical Colleges through the first/second round of counselling does not take admission after re-allotment in the third round of counselling, the entire earnest money deposited by the candidate and all the fees deposited at that time will be forfeited.

11 If the candidates admitted in private sector medical colleges through first/second round of counselling do not take admission after re-allotment in third round of counselling, then the entire earnest money deposited by the candidate will be forfeited and 50% of the tuition fee deposited by the candidate at that time will also be forfeited.

12 After allotment through the third round of counselling, the candidates allotted in government sector colleges will have to appear at the concerned medical college/university/district hospital and complete their admission process.

13 Candidates allocated to private medical colleges will be required to complete their admission process by appearing at the respective nodal center. The name of the nodal centre will be indicated on the allotment letter.

14 Candidates allotted in private medical colleges will be required to deposit the CTS bank draft of the tuition fee fixed by the government, issued in favour of Director General, Medical Education & Training, Uttar Pradesh (Director General Medical Education & Training U.P payable at Lucknow), at the concerned nodal centre, otherwise the admission will be automatically cancelled.

15 Other Backwards Class and Economically Weaker Section (E.W.S.) candidates of Uttar Pradesh are informed that the certificate of Other Backward Class and Economically Weaker Section (E.W.S.) dated 01.04.2025 or after will be valid only.

16 Reservation certificates will not be accepted on the form of certificates to be submitted for appointment to posts under the Government of India.

17 All certificates related to reservation (OBC, SC, ST and Economically Weaker Section) will be valid only if issued by the competent authority of Uttar Pradesh on the format prescribed by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

18 Allotted candidates are required to undergo medical examination by the Medical Board constituted at the Medical College/Nodal Centre.

19. After receiving allotment/re-allotment from the third round of counselling, all the candidates will report to the concerned Medical College after completing the admission process at the concerned Nodal Centre.
