The Jammu & Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) has extended the deadline for candidates to fill and submit their choice of colleges and courses for Round 3 of NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS and BDS admission. This extension gives you extra time to finalize your preferences before the new cutoff date. If you have already been allotted a seat in an earlier round and are eligible to participate in Round 3, or if you are a fresh candidate entering the counselling process now, you must act immediately to submit your choices. Missing this deadline will mean you cannot participate in Round 3 allotment, even if you are otherwise eligible.
JKBOPEE has extended the Round 3 choice-filling deadline for NEET UG 2026 MBBS/BDS admission in Jammu & Kashmir — check the official portal immediately for the new date and submit your preferences without delay.

JKBOPEE has announced an extension to the last date for online filling and submission of choices (also called preferences) for Round 3 of the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. Round 3 is a subsequent round of seat allotment that takes place after earlier rounds have been completed. This extension means you have been given additional time beyond the original deadline to log in to the official counselling portal, select your preferred colleges and courses, and submit your choices.
The extension is issued under Notice No. 067, dated 2 October 2026. This is a critical administrative update — if you miss the new extended deadline, you will not be able to participate in Round 3 allotment, and you may lose the opportunity to secure a seat in this round.
Who needs to fill choices in Round 3?
You must fill choices in Round 3 if you are a NEET UG 2026 candidate who is eligible to participate in this round. Eligibility typically includes candidates who did not accept a seat in earlier rounds, candidates who were allotted a seat but did not report/join, or candidates who are participating in counselling for the first time in this round.

Both MBBS and BDS candidates are covered by this extension. If you are unsure whether you are eligible for Round 3, check the official JKBOPEE portal or contact the board directly — do not assume you are ineligible.
Why has the deadline been extended?
The notice does not specify the reason for the extension. However, extensions are typically granted to allow candidates more time to make informed decisions about their college and course choices, or to accommodate technical or administrative delays. Regardless of the reason, the extension is now in effect, and you should use this extra time to carefully select your preferences.
What is the new deadline?
The notice title indicates that the last date for choice filling has been extended, but the exact new deadline date is not provided in the title alone. You must visit the official JKBOPEE website (www.jkbopee.gov.in) immediately to find the updated deadline. Do not rely on the original deadline — check the portal now to confirm the new date and time.
How to fill your choices
To fill your choices for Round 3, you must log in to the official JKBOPEE counselling portal using your registration number and password. Once logged in, you will see a list of available colleges and courses (MBBS and/or BDS, depending on your eligibility and the seats available). You will then rank these options in order of your preference — your first choice is the most preferred, your second choice is the next most preferred, and so on.
After you have ranked all your preferred colleges and courses, you must submit your choices by clicking the 'Submit' or 'Finalize' button. Once submitted, your choices are locked and will be used for the Round 3 allotment process. Do not close the browser or navigate away until you see a confirmation message. Take a screenshot of the confirmation for your records.

Important: Do not miss the extended deadline
This is your final opportunity to participate in Round 3. If you do not fill and submit your choices by the new extended deadline, you will be automatically excluded from Round 3 allotment. There will be no further extensions, and you will not be able to appeal or request a late submission after the deadline passes.
Mark the new deadline date on your calendar, set a phone reminder, and plan to submit your choices at least 1–2 days before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues or internet problems. Do not wait until the last hour.
What happens after you submit your choices?
After the choice-filling deadline closes, JKBOPEE will process all submitted choices and generate the Round 3 seat allotment result. This result will be published on the official portal, and you will be notified of your allotment status (allotted, not allotted, or waitlisted). The exact date of the allotment result will be announced separately by JKBOPEE.
If you are allotted a seat in Round 3, you will be required to report to your allotted college and complete the admission formalities (document verification, fee payment, etc.) within a specified time frame. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat.
