Manipur NEET UG Round 3 Counselling 2026: Registration & Choice Filling Now Open

Understanding the timeline is crucial for all applicants. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the important dates for Manipur NEET UG Round 3 Counselling:

Round 3 is open to all NEET-UG 2026 qualified candidates. Whether you participated in previous rounds or are a new applicant, understanding the registration process is key:

• Fresh Registration: Candidates who have not registered in Rounds 1 or 2 are eligible for fresh registration. This is your chance to enter the counselling process.
• Previously Registered Candidates: If you have already registered in earlier rounds, you do not need to register again. You can directly proceed to fill fresh choices for Round 3.

It is mandatory for all candidates to carefully review the technical instructions on the official portal before proceeding. Ensure all choices are filled and locked within the stipulated deadline of October 11, 2026, to be considered for seat allotment.

Application & Security Fees

Fresh registration involves a non-refundable application fee, varying by seat category preference. A refundable security deposit is also mandatory for all applicants:

• State Government Seats Only: ₹2,000 (₹1,500 for SC/ST candidates)
• Private Seats (SAHS) Only: ₹2,000
• Both Government & Private Seats: ₹4,000 (₹3,500 for SC/ST candidates)
• Refundable Security Deposit: ₹15,000 (mandatory for all categories, refunded after all counselling rounds)

Round 3 offers a diverse range of seats across premier medical institutions in Manipur and the Northeast. Candidates can apply for the following categories:

• State Government Quota Seats: Available for MBBS, BDS, and BASLP courses at RIMS Imphal, JNIMS Imphal, SAHS Langol, CMC Imphal, and RDC Guwahati.
• Management Quota Seats: MBBS seats are available at SAHS Langol.

Unlike previous rounds, Round 3 does not offer a 'Float' or 'Freeze' option. This means that if you are allotted a seat, physical reporting to the designated institute is mandatory to confirm your admission.

Candidates who receive a seat allotment must complete all admission formalities, including document verification and fee payment, during the reporting period of October 14-15, 2026. Failure to report within this window will lead to forfeiture of the allotted seat.

It is vital to remember that only candidates who successfully fill and lock their choices by the October 11 deadline will be considered for the Round 3 allotment. Missing this deadline will exclude you from this final opportunity.
