Understanding the Round 3 Process

Round 3 is the major as well as the final phase before the mop-up round. The process typically includes:

• Vacant Seat Matrix Publication: Display of vacant seat matrix is available seats after Round 2.
• Fresh Choice Filling: Candidates can make changes or reconfirm their previous decision about their preferences.
• Merit-based seat allotment: This allotment of seats is done strictly on the basis of NEET UG ranks and category.
• Physical verification : The physical verification is necessary prior to final reporting.
• Seat Confirmation: The candidates must report to the allotted institute within the given timeline.

In any case if the candidate fails to complete any of these steps then he/she will constitute forfeiture of that seat.

Seat Distribution

In Chhattisgarh there is a balance in the distribution of seats all across government, private, and dental colleges which is great to enable opportunities under multiple categories.

• Government Medical Colleges get 15% All India Quota as  well as 85% State Quota seats.
• Private Medical Colleges have their Seats divided into state and management quota. The division of seats is done here by following DME guidelines.
• Dental Colleges often see the movement in later rounds of the vacancies, especially for private institutions.

Round 3 is generally characterized by improvement in the allotment of seats and even greater movement in the seats of private colleges. The reason behind this is because higher-ranking candidates complete the government college admissions.
