Supreme Court Order on NEET UG 2025: AIQ Round-3 Candidates Ineligible for State Round-3 Counselling

In a major update for NEET UG 2025 aspirants and state counselling authorities, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has issued a clear directive regarding participation rules for All India Quota (AIQ) Round-3 candidates.

According to the latest order, students who have already joined seats under MCC AIQ Round-3 are no longer eligible to participate in State Round-3 Counselling. This marks a decisive step towards ensuring transparency, seat discipline, and efficient utilisation of medical seats across India.

 What the Supreme Court Order States (NEET UG 2025)

  • No Dual Participation: Candidates admitted under AIQ Round-3 are barred from joining State Round-3.
  • No Resignation Permitted: Students cannot resign their AIQ Round-3 seats to switch to state quota.
  • MCC Data-Sharing: The list of joined AIQ Round-3 candidates will be published on the MCC Data-Sharing Portal from November 1, 2025.
  • Mandatory Filtering: All State Counselling Authorities must exclude these candidates during seat allocation.

This ruling is expected to streamline the NEET UG 2025 admission process, reduce overlapping admissions, and prevent the misuse of multiple seat allotments across state and central quotas.

Key Implications for NEET UG 2025 Aspirants

1️⃣ No Seat Surrender or Withdrawal in Round-3

Once a candidate has joined an AIQ Round-3 seat, they cannot resign, upgrade, or shift to another counselling body. The process is considered final and binding.

2️⃣ States to Filter AIQ Joined Candidates

All state medical admission committees (e.g., DMER, DME, KEA, BCECE, etc.) must exclude AIQ Round-3 joined candidates from their Round-3 merit list to prevent duplication.

3️⃣ Transparency in Final Seat Allocation

This order reinforces the “One Candidate, One Seat” policy, ensuring fair seat distribution and zero wastage during NEET 2025 final rounds.

 Expert Insight from Eduvio Counselling Team

According to Eduvio’s NEET Counselling Division, this order is a crucial compliance measure:

“The Supreme Court’s directive is intended to stop the back-and-forth seat reshuffling that caused delays in prior sessions. Now, students holding AIQ Round-3 seats must stay committed to their allotment,”
— Eduvio Counselling Team, NEETCounselling.com

Eduvio has urged students to carefully review their allotment status and avoid any participation in State Round-3 if they have already joined under MCC.

What Should Students Do Now?

  1. Check AIQ Round-3 Allotment Status on the MCC portal.
  2. Do not apply for any state counselling if already joined in AIQ Round-3.
  3. Keep a record of your joining letter for verification.
  4. Monitor updates on the MCC Data-Sharing Portal (from Nov 1, 2025).

For state authorities, filtering AIQ Round-3 data before publishing merit lists is now legally mandatory.

Why This Order Matters for NEET Counselling 2025

This step aims to eliminate seat duplication that previously led to vacant or wasted seats across states. By consolidating the counselling structure, it ensures:

  • Faster closure of rounds.
  • Greater fairness in medical seat distribution.
  • More opportunities for fresh candidates waiting in state quota lists.

It also marks a significant improvement in coordination between MCC (Central) and State Counselling Boards.

Candidate Advisory – Stay Updated via Trusted Sources

Students are strongly advised to rely only on official notifications from MCC and their respective state counselling websites. Fake or unverified updates circulating on social media can lead to disqualification or loss of seat.
