CENTAC Extends NEET MDS Round 3 Deadline to 2 November
The Story in Brief
The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Puducherry, has extended the deadline for fresh applications and Round 3 registration for postgraduate dental (MDS) admissions for the 2026-27 academic year. Fresh applications can now be submitted until 2 November 2026 at 5 pm, while the deadline for submitting willingness, paying the registration fee and filling course preferences for Round 3 has been extended to 3 November at 5 pm.
Candidates seeking to resign from seats admitted in Round 1 or Round 2 can also submit their requests until 3 November at 5 pm. CENTAC said the extension follows the revised Round 3 counselling schedule issued by the Medical Counselling Committee after the lowering of the qualifying cut-off.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The extension follows MCC's revision of its own Round 3 schedule after it lowered the NEET MDS qualifying cut-off, a change that effectively enlarged the pool of eligible candidates. CENTAC's move synchronises its state-level counselling with the national timeline, ensuring Puducherry applicants are not disadvantaged. The tightened window between 2 and 3 November for fresh applications, fee payment, and course preference submission means candidates must act quickly. Those holding seats from earlier rounds can still resign by the same deadline, creating a potential churn in unfilled seats. The next concrete step is 5 pm on 2 November, when new applications close, followed by the 3 November cut-off for all other Round 3 formalities.
