NEET PG 2025: CENTAC further extends round 3 registrations, seat withdrawal deadlines
Puducherry: The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Government of Puducherry, has announced a further extension of the deadline for Round 3 registration and withdrawal from Round 1 and Round 2 admissions for PG Medical (MD/MS) courses for the academic year 2025.
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 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.
