The Tripura Medical Counselling Committee has released the seat matrix for Round 3 of NEET UG 2026 counselling on its official portal. This is the third and final round of state-level counselling for MBBS seats in Tripura medical colleges. If you missed the first two rounds or did not secure a seat, Round 3 is your last opportunity to register for a state quota MBBS position before the process moves to stray vacancy allocation. The entire admission cycle for this round concludes on October 14, 2026, so timing is critical.
Fresh candidates have until October 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM to register for Round 3; the final admission deadline is October 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

Round 3 represents the final phase of counselling for state quota MBBS seats in Tripura under the NEET UG 2026 admission cycle. After this round concludes, any remaining vacant seats will move to the stray vacancy stage, which operates under different rules and typically has limited availability. This makes Round 3 the last structured opportunity for candidates to secure a confirmed MBBS seat through the regular counselling process.
For aspirants who did not participate in Rounds 1 and 2, or who were not allotted a seat despite registering earlier, Round 3 offers a fresh chance. The seat matrix now published lists all available MBBS positions across participating medical colleges in Tripura, allowing you to assess your realistic options before committing to the registration process.
Who Can Register for Tripura Round 3 and Who Cannot
Fresh registration in Round 3 is open only to candidates who did not register in Rounds 1 or 2. If you are a new applicant, you are eligible to apply. Additionally, candidates who registered in an earlier round but were not allotted a seat can continue in the ongoing Round 3 process without needing to register again.
However, if you were allotted a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 but chose not to join the college, you are permanently ineligible for Round 3. This rule exists to prevent candidates from gaming the system by holding multiple allotments. If you were allotted a seat and did not report, your only option now is to wait for stray vacancy notifications after October 14.
- Eligible: Fresh candidates who never registered in Rounds 1 or 2
- Eligible: Candidates who registered earlier but remained unallotted
- Not eligible: Candidates who were allotted a seat but did not join
- Not eligible: Candidates who already joined a college in an earlier round

Step-by-Step Registration Process on the TRMCC Portal
Registration for Round 3 is entirely online through the Tripura Medical Counselling Committee portal at trmcc.admissions.nic.in. The process is straightforward but must be completed within the deadline. Start by visiting the official portal and locating the Round 3 fresh registration link. You will need your NEET UG 2026 roll number and personal details to begin.
Enter your NEET roll number, date of birth, and other personal information as requested. Next, pay the prescribed registration fee and security deposit online using a debit card, credit card, or net banking. After payment confirmation, upload all required documents in the specified format. Finally, review your application for accuracy and submit it. Once submitted, proceed immediately to the choice-filling stage to rank your preferred colleges before the October 7 deadline.

- Enter your NEET UG 2026 roll number and personal details
- Pay the registration fee and security deposit online
- Upload all required documents (see list below)

- Proceed to choice filling and lock your preferences before October 7 at 12:00 Noon
Documents You Must Carry for Physical Verification and Admission
Once you receive your allotment letter on October 8, you must report to the allotted college with original copies of all required documents. The college will conduct physical verification to confirm your eligibility and identity. If any document is missing or found to be invalid, your allotted seat can be cancelled immediately, even after you have been assigned to the college.
Prepare and organize these documents well in advance. Make photocopies as well, as colleges often require both originals and copies. Do not assume that uploading documents during online registration is sufficient — you must bring originals to the college. Carry them in a folder or envelope to prevent loss or damage during travel.
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
- Date of birth proof (birth certificate or school record)
- Permanent Residential Certificate of Tripura (mandatory for State Quota candidates)
- Category certificate (if applicable — SC, ST, OBC, etc.)
- Aadhaar card
- Recent passport-size photographs (typically 4–6 copies)

The seat matrix PDF is now available on the TRMCC portal at trmcc.admissions.nic.in. Download it immediately and study it carefully. The matrix shows the number of vacant MBBS seats available in each participating medical college in Tripura, broken down by category (General, SC, ST, OBC) and by quota (State Quota and All India Other than Tripura). This data is essential for making informed choices during the choice-filling stage.
Use the seat matrix to identify colleges where seats are available in your category. Cross-reference this with your NEET rank and the expected cutoff for each college based on previous rounds. Rank your choices strategically: place colleges where you are confident of getting a seat higher in your preference list, but also include aspirational choices. Remember that the allotment algorithm will assign you the highest-ranked college on your list for which you meet the cutoff criteria.

What Happens After October 14: Stray Vacancy and Next Steps
After the October 14 deadline, Round 3 counselling officially closes. Any MBBS seats that remain vacant at this point will be filled through stray vacancy notifications. Stray vacancy rounds typically have shorter registration windows and operate on a first-come, first-served basis rather than merit-based allotment. If you do not secure a seat in Round 3, monitor the TRMCC portal closely for stray vacancy announcements.
Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 3 but did not report by October 14 will lose their seat and become ineligible for further rounds. There is no grace period or extension. If you are allotted a seat, ensure you reach the college well before the 5:00 PM deadline on October 14 to complete all admission formalities.
- Watch the TRMCC portal for the Round 3 provisional allotment list on October 8
- Monitor for stray vacancy notifications after October 14
- Stray vacancy seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis
- Missing the October 14 deadline results in permanent loss of your allotted seat

What happens to vacant seats after Round 3 ends on October 14?
Any MBBS seats that remain vacant after Round 3 will be filled through stray vacancy notifications. Stray vacancy rounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis rather than merit-based allotment. Monitor the TRMCC portal for stray vacancy announcements after October 14.
Is Round 3 the last chance to get an MBBS seat in Tripura for NEET UG 2026?
Round 3 is the final round of regular state-level counselling. After October 14, only stray vacancy seats will be available, which are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you do not secure a seat in Round 3, your chances in stray vacancy are significantly lower.
If you are eligible for Round 3, act immediately: register before October 5 at 11:00 AM, fill your choices by October 7 at 12:00 Noon, and report to your allotted college by October 14 at 5:00 PM with all original documents. This is your final structured opportunity for an MBBS seat in Tripura under NEET UG 2026. After October 14, the process moves to stray vacancy with far fewer seats and no merit-based guarantee.
