UP NEET MDS 2026 Round 3 registration closes today, October 27

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has released the revised Round 3 counselling schedule for UP NEET MDS 2026. Online registration for this round concludes today, October 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM, with the deadline for fee payment set for 2:00 PM on the same day.

This revised schedule, available on the official portals upneet.gov.in and www.dgme.up.gov.in, follows an earlier postponement of the counselling process. Round 3 is designed to support admissions to state quota MDS seats in government and private dental colleges throughout Uttar Pradesh.

Revised Round 3 Counselling Schedule

The revised schedule outlines key dates for candidates participating in the UP NEET MDS 2026 Round 3 counselling. Following the closure of registration and fee payment today, the merit list is expected to be released on October 27, 2026. Candidates will then proceed to online choice filling and locking.

The seat allotment result for Round 3 will be declared in early November, after which successful candidates must report to their allotted institutions. This round is crucial as it is the final state counselling round before any remaining state quota MDS seats move to the stray vacancy stage.

Eligibility and Participation Guidelines

Candidates eligible for UP NEET MDS 2026 Round 3 counselling must have qualified the NEET MDS 2026 examination, conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). Also, they must satisfy the Uttar Pradesh state domicile and reservation rules as stipulated by DGME.

The counselling process allows for fresh candidates who did not register in earlier rounds to sign up during this window. In addition, candidates who had resigned from a Round 2 seat and reclaimed their security fee are also eligible to re-register for Round 3. The entire registration process for this round is conducted online.

Required Documents for Reporting

Candidates who are allotted seats in Round 3 must present a specific set of documents during admission and reporting at their respective colleges. These documents are essential for verification and include academic records, identity proof, and counselling-specific papers.

The list of required documents includes the NEET MDS 2026 scorecard and admit card, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates, BDS degree certificate along with all BDS mark sheets, an internship completion certificate, and a permanent registration certificate. In addition, candidates must provide their Uttar Pradesh domicile certificate (if applicable), category and sub-category certificates (if applicable), a government-issued photo identity proof, the Round 3 seat allotment letter, and the fee payment receipt.
