Candidates allotted seats in round 3 are required to complete their admission process by February 13.

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 Two seats were withdrawn from the provisional allotment due to duplication of seats and technical issues.

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.
