Conclusion The NEET PG 2026 All India Quota counselling for Deemed and Government medical colleges is being conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, entirely online. Round 3 of counselling is scheduled with registration, choice filling, and seat allotment between 15–29 January 2026 , with joining verification continuing until 6 February 2026 .
Vacancy trends indicate that AIQ and DNB seats remain highly competitive, with certain super-specialty and broad courses seeing expected Round-3 closing ranks significantly higher than previous rounds. For instance, high-demand specialties like Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine, and Paediatrics are expected to close around 6,000–16,851 ranks for GEN candidates , while diploma courses and broader specialties show closing ranks extending to over 1,50,000 in some cases.
