After rescheduling the choice filling and seat allotments for round 3 multiple times due to addition and withdrawal of seats, and legal cases, the MCC declared the allotment results on February 6 on the official website, mcc.nic.in.
A total of 10,084 candidates were freshly allotted seats, as per the final allotment results. Two seats were withdrawn from the provisional allotment due to duplication of seats and technical issues.
While 8,589 candidates got their seats upgraded, 7,094 did not get an upgrade, and another 3,450 did not opt for upgradation. A total of 7,899 did not exercise the choice filling facility for round 3.
The MCC had instructed the round 3 seat allotted candidates to report at the respective college only after the final allotments were declared. However, no reporting deadline was announced at that time. The commission has now fixed February 13 as the deadline to complete the admission procedures.
