The Round 3 sheet lists 40,458 candidates. For each it records the Round 1 and Round 2 seat and what happened in Round 3. These are MCC’s own labels, counted from the result.
| Round 3 outcome | Candidates | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh allotted in Round 3 | 4,687 | Had no seat before (or gave it up) and got one now |
| Upgraded | 5,169 | Held a Round 1 / 2 seat, asked for upgradation and moved to a higher choice |
| Retained | 5,018 | Asked for upgradation but no higher choice opened; keep the earlier seat |
| Did not fill fresh choices | 7,971 | Registered but filled no Round 3 choices (626 of them keep an earlier seat) |
| Not allotted | 2,011 | Filled choices but no seat opened at their rank |
| Did not opt for upgradation | 15,596 | Joined an earlier-round seat and stayed out of the Round 3 draw |
9,856 seats changed hands in Round 3 (4,687 fresh + 5,169 upgrades). Every upgrade frees the candidate’s earlier seat — those seats, plus Round 3 allottees who do not join by 9 October, are what the stray vacancy round will offer.
431 government colleges allotted or kept open-category AIQ MBBS seats in Round 3. The closing rank is the deepest rank holding a seat there after this round; vs Round 2 is how much deeper (+) or earlier (−) it closed than in the Round 2 final list.

The list is final. Download the allotment letter and report with original documents between 1 and 9 October. Read the Round 3 joining and security-deposit clause for your quota in MCC’s Information Bulletin first — Round 3 seats carry stricter exit rules than earlier rounds.
Your earlier seat is released the moment the upgrade is final. Join the new college in the reporting window — there is no way back to the old seat.
The stray vacancy round (4,068 seats; result out 20 October: 3,108 seats allotted, report by 26 October) was the last All India chance. Build that list from the closing ranks above, and keep your state counselling running — Tamil Nadu Round 3 choice filling is 1–9 October.
