Hello! Thank you for reaching out. I hope you're doing well.
Yes, you can directly participate in NEET Round 3 (also known as the Mop-Up round) even if you skipped Round 2, provided you were not allotted any seat in Round 1. You don’t need to pay the Rs.2 lakh security deposit again if you have already paid it for the previous rounds, as it will carry forward. However, if you don’t get a seat even after Round 3, the security deposit will be refunded to you, usually within a specific period after the completion of the counseling process.
Let me know if you need any further clarification or additional information.
Hello,
As per MCC guidelines:
Yes, you can participate in Round 3 directly after Round 1, skipping Round 2, even if you weren't allotted a seat.
No, you don't need to pay the security deposit again. Your initial deposit will be valid.
Refund of Security Deposit:
· If you weren't allotted a seat in Round 1 or 2, your security deposit will be refunded automatically.
· If you're allotted a seat in Round 3, your deposit will be adjusted against the tuition fees.
Eligibility for Round 3:
· You should not have been allotted a seat in Round 1 or 2.
· You should not have joined or reported to any allotted seat.
Steps to follow:
1. Log in to your MCC account.
2. Register for Round 3.
3. Fill fresh choices.
4. Lock and submit.
Before Round 3, ensure:
· Verify your eligibility.
· Check the schedule.
· Review college and course options.
Hello,
Yes, you can participate in NEET Round 3 (Mop-up round) even if you skip Round 2 after not being allotted a seat in Round 1.
However, you don’t need to re-register or pay the security deposit again, provided you didn’t get a seat in Round 1 and haven't opted out of further rounds.
Your initial security deposit remains valid for the entire counseling process, including the mop-up round.
However, it’s important to check the specific counseling rules of the state or institution as they might have slight variations.
Hope it helps!
