The Virtual Vacancy list is larger, showing 10,353 seats across 615 institutes in the same 34 states/UTs. (Virtual vacancy reflects the seats that will become available after upward movement of candidates during the round, unlike Clear Vacancy, which lists seats already vacant.)

Clear Vacancy vs Virtual Vacancy: What's the Difference?

• Clear Vacancy = seats that are already vacant and confirmed, available for direct allotment in Round 3.
• Virtual Vacancy = a projected/simulated vacancy count that accounts for seats likely to open up as candidates move up the merit list during the round — used by MCC's allotment algorithm to maximize seat utilization.

What This Means for Candidates

With 6,703 clear seats and 10,353 virtual seats in play, Round 3 offers candidates a significantly wider pool of MBBS, BDS, and B.Sc. Nursing options compared to earlier rounds. Candidates should review both lists carefully while filling or revising their choices, since virtual vacancy seats may or may not materialize depending on candidate movement.

Where to Check

Candidates should log in to the official MCC counselling portal (mcc.nic.in) to view the complete, institute-wise Clear and Virtual Vacancy lists before finalizing Round 3 choices.
