The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) in Puducherry has officially commenced the registration process for the third round of NEET UG 2026 counselling. Candidates aspiring for admission into undergraduate medical and dental programs across the region can now submit their applications through the official portal.

This phase of the counselling process is specifically designed for students seeking entry into MBBS and BDS courses based on their NEET UG scores. The committee has set a firm deadline for the submission of applications, requiring all interested and eligible candidates to complete their registration by 5 PM on October 5, 2026.

Registration Details and Seat Withdrawal Procedures

Candidates are encouraged to visit the official CENTAC website at centacpuducherry.in to access the online application form. While the portal remains open until the specified deadline, authorities have advised students to complete the registration process well in advance to avoid any last-minute technical complications or delays.

In addition to the registration process for the third round, the committee has also provided a window for candidates who wish to adjust their current admission status. Students who were allotted seats in the first or second rounds of counselling and now wish to resign or withdraw from those seats may do so until 5 PM on October 5, 2026. This concurrent timeline ensures that the seat matrix is accurately updated before the final allocation process for the third round proceeds.

Applicants are expected to follow the instructions provided on the official website to ensure their details are correctly submitted. It is essential for candidates to verify their eligibility criteria before initiating the registration process to ensure their application is processed correctly by the admission committee.
