ToggleLive Updates on NEET PG 2025 Counselling Round 3
A few days ago, the NEET PG 2025 cut off percentiles were reduced, making more candidates eligible to participate in the counselling process. This change has led to higher participation in Karnataka NEET PG Round 3, especially from students who were earlier not eligible and are now competing for the remaining Karnataka state quota seats.
Round 3 is a critical phase of counselling. Seat availability is limited, timelines are strict, and missing even a single deadline can result in seat loss. Below are the key Karnataka NEET PG 2025 Round 3 timelines that every candidate must follow carefully.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Online Registration Opens | January 15, 2026 |
| Last Date for Registration | January 26, 2026 |
| Document Verification at KEA (for new registrants) | Jan 27–30, 2026 |
| Option Entry / Choice Filling | January 15 to January 26, 2026 |
| Provisional Seat Matrix Release (Non-Inservice Seats) | January 17, 2026 |
| Seat Allotment Result / KEA Notification | To be announced by KEA (expected soon after verification) |
| Reporting to Allotted Colleges | Expected Jan 29–30, 2026 (KEA directive) |
These timelines are critical for all candidates participating in Round 3. Students should complete registration early, lock choices carefully, and keep documents ready for immediate reporting once the allotment result is announced.
