Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2025 Round 3 Seat Allotment Temporarily Halted

The Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) has temporarily suspended the Round 3 seat allotment for Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2025 until further notice. This critical pause is a direct result of instructions issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India, aimed at ensuring a fair and streamlined admission process for medical aspirants.

The Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) has temporarily suspended the Round 3 seat allotment for Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2025 until further notice. This critical pause is a direct result of instructions issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India, aimed at ensuring a fair and streamlined admission process for medical aspirants.

Reason for the Suspension: MCC's Directive on AIQ Candidates

The decision to put the seat allotment on hold stems from a directive from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The MCC has instructed all state counselling authorities, including HNBUMU, to meticulously filter out and exclude candidates who have already secured and joined a seat under the All India Quota (AIQ) Round 3 before proceeding with the State Quota Round 3 allotment.

The key purpose of this mandate is to strictly prevent the possibility of dual seat allotment, where a single candidate holds both an AIQ seat and a State Quota seat simultaneously. This practice blocks seats for other deserving aspirants. The MCC's notification explicitly states that since the Round 3 result for UG counselling has already been published, and there is no provision for resignation in this round, the state authorities must ensure that candidates already holding a seat through the AIQ process are not offered a state quota seat.

This measure is crucial for the transparent distribution of the remaining medical and dental seats and is in line with directives from the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India regarding the counselling process.

Impact and Next Steps for Aspirants

The originally scheduled release of the Round 3 seat allotment has been postponed. This delay affects all candidates participating in the state's 85% quota counselling for MBBS/BDS courses in Government/Private Medical/Dental colleges.

• Official Communication: Aspirants are strongly advised to keep a vigilant eye on the official website of HNBUMU, hnbumu.ac.in. All subsequent announcements, including the revised schedule and the final seat allotment result, will be published only on the official portal.
• Data Integrity: The suspension period is being utilized by the state authorities to reconcile their candidate list with the data shared by the MCC, ensuring that only eligible candidates are considered for the State Quota seats.
• Be Prepared: Candidates should ensure all their documents (NEET Admit Card, Scorecard, Domicile Certificate, Category Certificate, etc.) are valid and ready for the final admission process once the allotment result is declared and the reporting period begins.

This temporary hold is a necessary step to maintain the integrity of the NEET UG counselling process at the national level. For regular updates, follow Only Education News.
