The Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC) has announced a revised schedule for Round 3 of NEET UG 2026 counselling, extending key deadlines to give aspirants more time to complete their applications. This is the third and final counselling round before the stray vacancy phase, making it a critical window for candidates seeking admission to MBBS, BDS, and other health science courses in Tripura's government and private medical colleges. If you have qualified NEET UG 2026 and meet Tripura's domicile requirements, understanding these new dates and the registration process is essential to secure your seat.
Fresh registration and choice filling for Tripura NEET UG Round 3 close on October 12, 2026, with seat allotment results announced on October 13—this is your last chance at state quota admission before the stray vacancy round.

The TRMCC has pushed back several key milestones in Round 3 to accommodate more applicants. Fresh registration and fee payment, which were originally scheduled earlier, now close on October 12 at 11:00 AM. Choice filling—the process where you rank your preferred colleges and courses—runs from October 9 at 5:00 PM through October 12 at 11:59 PM, giving you a four-day window to finalize your selections.
Discrepancy removal, a step where you correct errors in your application or uploaded documents, also ends on October 12 at 5:00 PM. The merit list and seat allotment result will be published on October 13, 2026. This compressed timeline means you must act quickly once you begin the registration process.

Who Is Eligible to Apply for Tripura Round 3?
To participate in Round 3, you must have qualified NEET UG 2026 and achieved the minimum cut-off percentile set by TRMCC. Beyond the exam score, you must satisfy Tripura's domicile requirement, which mandates continuous residence in the state for at least ten years. This is a strict criterion, and you will need to provide valid proof during document verification.
Certain candidates are exempt from the standard domicile rule. Children of government employees posted in Tripura, wards of defence personnel, and children of ex-servicemen can apply even if they do not meet the ten-year residency requirement. If you fall into any of these categories, ensure you have the appropriate documentation ready before you begin registration.
Registration Fees by Category

Official 2023–2025 closing ranks and fees, matched to your rank.
TRMCC charges a non-refundable registration fee that varies based on your category. General and OBC-NCL candidates from the state quota pay Rs 2,500, while EWS and non-domicile OBC-NCL candidates pay Rs 2,000. Candidates belonging to SC, ST, or PwD (Person with Disability) categories pay the lowest fee of Rs 1,800. All fees must be paid online through the official TRMCC portal during the registration window.
In addition to the registration fee, you will be required to deposit a security amount at the time of admission. For government college seats, this deposit ranges from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000, while private college seats require a deposit of Rs 1,00,000. Both amounts are adjustable against your final admission fee, meaning they will be credited toward your tuition and other charges once you join.
| Category | Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| General and OBC-NCL (State Quota) | Rs 2,500 |
| EWS and OBC-NCL (Non-Domicile) | Rs 2,000 |
| SC, ST, and PwD | Rs 1,800 |
Courses and Colleges Available in Round 3
Round 3 offers admission to multiple health science courses across government and private institutions in Tripura. The courses include MBBS, BDS, BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery), BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery), and BASLP (Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology). Government colleges participating include Tripura Medical College and Agartala Government Medical College, while private seats are available at Tripura Santiniketan Medical College and affiliated partner institutions.
Seat allotment is based on your NEET UG 2026 rank, your position in the TRMCC merit list, the choices you fill during the choice-filling window, and applicable category reservations. The more colleges and courses you list in your preference order, the better your chances of receiving an allotment. It is therefore important to research all available options and rank them thoughtfully.
Step-by-Step Registration Process
The entire registration process is conducted online through the TRMCC portal at trmcc.admissions.nic.in. Begin by visiting the official website and locating the Round 3 fresh registration link. You will need your NEET UG 2026 roll number and personal details such as your name, date of birth, and contact information.
After entering your basic details, you must upload scanned copies of all required documents for verification. These typically include your NEET UG scorecard, identity proof, domicile certificate (if applicable), category certificate, and any other documents specified by TRMCC. Once documents are uploaded, you will pay the registration fee as per your category slab. After payment confirmation, submit your application. You can then proceed to choice filling, where you will rank your preferred colleges and courses in order of preference. Ensure you lock your choices before the October 12 deadline at 11:59 PM.

Why Round 3 Matters: Your Last Chance at State Quota
Round 3 is the final counselling round before the stray vacancy phase begins. If you miss this deadline, you lose access to Tripura's state quota seats unless vacancies arise during the stray round, which is unpredictable and offers far fewer seats. The extension of the October 12 deadline is a critical opportunity for candidates who may have missed earlier rounds or who are making a final decision about their admission.
After Round 3 allotment results are announced on October 13, candidates who receive seats must report to their allotted colleges within the specified reporting window. Those who do not report or who do not participate in Round 3 will have to wait for the stray vacancy round, which typically offers only a handful of remaining seats across all colleges. For most aspirants, Round 3 represents the realistic final opportunity to secure a medical or dental seat in Tripura through the counselling process.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration
One of the most frequent errors is missing the registration deadline. October 12 at 11:00 AM is a hard cutoff for fresh registration and fee payment—applications submitted after this time will not be accepted. Similarly, choice filling closes at 11:59 PM on October 12, and any changes made after this time will not be recorded. Set reminders well in advance and complete your registration at least a day before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
Another common mistake is uploading unclear or incomplete documents. Ensure all scanned copies are legible, in the correct format (usually PDF or JPG), and within the specified file size limits. If your documents are rejected during verification, you will have until 5:00 PM on October 12 to correct them through the discrepancy removal process. Do not assume your documents are acceptable without checking the portal status regularly. Additionally, verify your domicile eligibility before applying; if you do not meet the criteria and do not fall into an exempt category, your application may be rejected during verification.
What Happens After October 13: Next Steps
Once the merit list and seat allotment result are published on October 13, check the TRMCC portal immediately to see if you have been allotted a seat. If you receive an allotment, note the reporting date and time specified in the result. You must physically report to your allotted college with all original documents and the security deposit amount. Failure to report within the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat.
If you do not receive an allotment in Round 3, you will be eligible for the stray vacancy round, which typically begins after all reporting is complete. The stray round offers seats that remain vacant after candidates report or withdraw. However, the number of seats available in the stray round is usually very limited. Keep monitoring the TRMCC portal for announcements regarding the stray vacancy schedule and any other updates.

Do I need to be a Tripura resident to apply for Round 3?
Yes, you must satisfy Tripura's domicile requirement, which typically requires continuous residence in the state for at least ten years.

You will need to provide valid proof of your eligibility during document verification.
How much is the registration fee, and is it refundable?
The registration fee is non-refundable and varies by category: Rs 2,500 for General and OBC-NCL (state quota), Rs 2,000 for EWS and OBC-NCL (non-domicile), and Rs 1,800 for SC, ST, and PwD candidates.

Is Round 3 my last chance to get a seat through counselling?
Round 3 is the final counselling round before the stray vacancy phase. If you miss this round, you will only be eligible for the stray vacancy round, which typically offers very few remaining seats.

What happens if I do not receive a seat in Round 3?
If you do not receive an allotment in Round 3, you will be eligible for the stray vacancy round, which begins after all reporting is complete. The stray round offers seats that remain vacant after candidates report or withdraw. However, the number of available seats is usually very limited. Monitor the TRMCC portal for the stray vacancy schedule.
