The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) announced the NEET MDS 2026 Round 3 provisional seat allotment result on October 10, 2026. Candidates who participated in the third round of counselling for Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses can access and download the allotment PDF from the official website, mcc.nic.in, until October 11, 2026.

This provisional result is a step in the ongoing NEET MDS 2026 counselling process, which supports admissions to various postgraduate dental programmes across India. The counselling is conducted for 50% All India Quota (AIQ) Postgraduate Dental seats, Deemed Universities, Central Universities, and Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) institutions, in compliance with directives from the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

NEET MDS Round 3 Allotment and Next Steps

Following the release of the provisional seat allotment result, candidates will be provided an opportunity to identify and rectify any errors before the final allotment result is published. This mechanism is in place to ensure accuracy in the seat allocation process. Once the NEET MDS Round 3 final allotment is announced, candidates who have been successfully allotted seats will be eligible to report to their respective colleges.

The reporting process involves verification of documents and completion of the application procedures at the allotted institutions. The Directorate General of Health Services, under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, is responsible for overseeing the online counselling for these postgraduate medical and dental seats.
