Daman & Diu has released the provisional key dates for Round 3 of state MBBS/BDS counselling 2026. Online registration and upgradation run from 28th September to 2nd October 2026, the provisional merit list is due on 5th October, the selected candidates list on 6th October, and the last date of joining is 14th October 2026 (Source: Important Announcements & Provisional Key Dates for Round 3, State Counselling notice).
What is the Round 3 schedule?
Online registration form and upgradation: 28th September to 2nd October 2026.
Document verification (online): 28th September 2026 and 4th October 2026.
Notification of 3rd provisional merit list: 5th October 2026.
Declaration of the list of selected candidates in Round 3: 6th October 2026.
Last date of joining after Round 3: 14th October 2026.
Do I need to fill choices again in Round 3?
Yes. The notice states that all applicants must fill in their course choices afresh during Round 3, regardless of what they chose in earlier rounds. A choice locked in Round 1 or 2 does not carry forward automatically.
What happens to vacant seats?
Conversion of vacant seats will be done as per the Union Territory's admission policy and MCC guideline, so a seat left over after Round 3 is not filled at the counselling authority's discretion alone; it follows the same conversion rules that apply to all India counselling.
Why are there two document verification dates?
Document verification (online) is listed on both 28th September and 4th October 2026 rather than a single date, so candidates registering early and those completing formalities closer to the merit list date both get a verification window within the round.
What to do now
Register and complete online document verification within the 28th September to 2nd October window.
Fill your course choices afresh in Round 3, even if you already chose in Round 1 or 2.
Check the provisional merit list on 5th October and the selected candidates list on 6th October.
Plan to join well before 14th October 2026, the final joining date.
Before filling choices, comparing recent cutoff trends across MBBS/BDS colleges can help you order preferences more realistically.
