New Delhi: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued a notice to all state counselling authorities to weed out candidates who have already joined seats under the All India Quota (AIQ) Round-3 before processing seats for Round 3 of State NEET UG Counselling for the academic year 2025.

The instruction follows the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, which mandates the filtering out of joined AIQ candidates to prevent dual seat allotments.

Through the notice, the MCC has also clarified that the result of Round-3 of UG Counselling 2025 conducted by MCC has already been published and there is no provision of resignation in this round. "Hence, all state counselling authorities are requested to weed out the joined candidates of AIQ Round-3 before seat processing of Round-3 of state counselling, so that candidates already holding a seat in AIQ are not allotted any seat through state counselling," the notice read.
