MCC NEET PG 2025 Round 3 Result Today: Expected Branch-Wise Cutoff
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is scheduled to announce the NEET PG 2025 Round 3 (Mop-Up Round) result today, 3 February 2026. This round represents the final structured allotment before the stray vacancy phase and is crucial for candidates still seeking admission into MD/MS and PG Diploma seats.
As per the counselling timeline, choice filling and locking concluded on 2 February 2026 at 11:55 AM. The Round 3 seat matrix reflects extensive movement, including clear vacancies, virtual vacancies from upgradation, newly sanctioned seats, and court-mandated inclusions such as the 49 MD/MS seats of HIMSR (Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi).
Going by previous MCC counselling patterns, the Round 3 result is likely to be released later today, most commonly between evening to late night hours. Once published, provisional allotment letters will be available for download through the candidate login on the MCC portal.
Why NEET PG 2025 Round 3 Cutoffs Are Likely to Fall Sharply
Historically, NEET PG Round 3 records the steepest decline in cutoff ranks, and the 2025 counselling cycle is expected to follow the same trend—if not exceed it.
A significant number of seats opened up after candidates exited the process due to non-reporting, resignation, or upgrades in earlier rounds. This has resulted in substantial vacancies across government, deemed universities, and private colleges.
In addition, the recent percentile relaxation—reducing eligibility to 7th percentile for General/EWS and 0th percentile for reserved categories— has expanded the eligible pool. However, most newly eligible candidates fall in higher rank ranges, which reduces competitive pressure in popular branches.

Understanding These Expected Cutoff Ranges
The above cutoff ranges are estimates derived from current vacancy data, counselling behaviour, and historical Round 3 closing ranks.
Government AIQ seats generally experience a moderate drop, while deemed and private institutions often see much lower closing ranks, particularly in clinical and semi-clinical branches.
Non-clinical and para-clinical disciplines such as Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Community Medicine, Anatomy, and Biochemistry may close at significantly higher ranks in the private and deemed category.
What Happens After MCC NEET PG Round 3 Result
After the declaration of results, candidates must download their provisional allotment letter and complete reporting formalities within the stipulated window.
The reporting period is expected to run from 4 February to 11 February 2026. Failure to report within this timeframe will lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.
Candidates allotted seats in deemed or private colleges should be prepared for high tuition fees, often ranging between ₹25 lakh to ₹60 lakh per year, excluding hostel and miscellaneous charges.
NEET PG 2025 Round 3 stands out due to percentile relaxation, legal interventions, and last-minute seat additions, making it one of the most dynamic counselling rounds in recent years.
Candidates are advised to closely monitor mcc.nic.in and stay ready for immediate action once the result is published. Today’s outcome may be career-defining.
