New Delhi: The Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET) has postponed the Odisha National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2024 round 3 counselling schedule. DMET will soon release the revised schedule on its official website, dmetodisha.in.

The revised counselling schedule for Odisha NEET PG 2024 round 3 has not been announced yet. The official website states, "Schedule for Round-3 is deferred till further notice." Previously, DMET had issued a tentative schedule for round 3 counselling, with physical counselling initially planned for February 5 and February 6, 2025.

In a recent development, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has revised the seat matrix for postgraduate medical courses for the 2024-25 academic session. This decision follows demands to cancel the third round of NEET PG counselling and initiate fresh admissions.

The Odisha NEET PG 2024 counselling registration took place from November 1 to November 5, 2024, while round 2 counselling concluded on December 24, 2024. Subsequently, DMET issued the Odisha NEET PG 2024 round 3 counselling schedule, which was later revised due to the reduction in the NEET PG 2024 cut-off.

As per the previously revised schedule, the deadline to register for round 3 counselling was January 22, 2025. Additionally, the submission deadline for the state list of verified candidates to the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for incentive addition and state-specific merit list preparation was January 25, 2025.
