Breaking: NEET PG Round 3 Counselling Resumes with Fresh Registrations & Additional Seats — DGHS Official Update: In a significant development for medical graduates across India, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has officially announced the resumption of NEET PG Round 3 counselling, offering an extended opportunity for aspirants to secure postgraduate medical seats. The update was shared via the DGHS India official X (formerly Twitter) handle earlier this week.



According to the official notice, the counselling process for NEET Postgraduate (PG) 2026 has reopened to include:

  • Fresh registrations for eligible candidates who may have missed earlier rounds.

  • Payment window open for new applicants who wish to participate in this round.

  • Additional seats added by various institutions to accommodate more aspirants amid high demand.

The update comes as a welcome relief for candidates who were left out of earlier counselling rounds or are seeking better seat options. NEET PG aspirants are urged to complete their registration and payment formalities within the stipulated timeline to ensure participation in this round.

The DGHS acts as the key regulatory and advisory body under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and plays a crucial role in conducting and overseeing the postgraduate medical counselling process.

Medical colleges and institutions across the country are expected to update their seat matrices soon as part of this resumed counselling phase. Further details and official guidelines will be released on the designated counselling portal.
