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.
