Conclusion

NBEMS DNB Round-3 cut-offs are expected to extend by ~5–15% beyond previous closing ranks. High-demand branches will see limited movement, while broad, diploma, and low-demand specialties are likely to show significant rank extension. Round-3 offers a strong opportunity for mid- and lower-ranked candidates, and filling maximum choices is essential to improve chances of seat allotment.
