Tripura MBBS/BDS 2026 Round 3 Revised Schedule: What Changed

Tripura has issued a revised schedule for Round 3 of Undergraduate Medical Counselling 2026. Fresh registration and final submission now close on 12th October 2026 at 11:00 AM, choice filling runs from 9th to 12th October, and both the merit list and allotment result are due on 13th October 2026 (Source: Revised Schedule for Round-3 of Tripura Undergraduate Medical Counselling 2026, server time).

What is the revised Round 3 schedule?

• Registration unlocking: up to 12th October 2026, 9:00 AM.

• Fresh registration, payment and final submission after registration unlocking: up to 12th October 2026, 11:00 AM.

• Remove discrepancy: up to 12th October 2026, 5:00 PM.

• Choice filling: 9th October 2026, 5:00 PM, to 12th October 2026, 11:59 PM.

• Publication of merit list: 13th October 2026.

• Allotment result: 13th October 2026.

The notice states the remaining schedule, meaning reporting and admission dates, will be notified shortly and has not yet been fixed.

Why does choice filling open before registration even closes?

Choice filling begins on 9th October at 5:00 PM, three days before fresh registration closes on 12th October at 11:00 AM. This is not a conflict: choice filling stays open through 12th October at 11:59 PM, so candidates completing registration late on 12th October still have until midnight the same day to fill and lock choices, after document verification for their registration is complete.

What happens on 12th October specifically?

Four separate deadlines fall on the same day. Registration unlocking closes at 9:00 AM, fresh registration and final submission close at 11:00 AM, discrepancy removal closes at 5:00 PM, and choice filling itself closes at 11:59 PM that night. Candidates with any pending registration or document issue should resolve it early in the day, since each step closes several hours apart on the same date, not simultaneously.

Why do the merit list and allotment result share the same date?

Both the merit list and the allotment result are listed for 13th October 2026, immediately after choice filling closes at midnight the previous day. This is a tighter gap than seen in some other states' schedules, so candidates should check their merit list position and allotment result on the same day rather than expecting a separate waiting period between the two.

What is still unknown about Round 3?

The notice explicitly states that the remaining schedule, covering reporting and document verification at the allotted institution and the final joining date, will be notified shortly. Candidates should not assume dates for these steps and should wait for the follow-up notice.

What to do now

• Complete registration unlocking, if needed, before 9:00 AM on 12th October, since it closes earlier than final submission the same day.

• Finish fresh registration and payment before 11:00 AM on 12th October, then use the time until 11:59 PM the same night to fill and lock choices.

• Resolve any flagged discrepancy before 5:00 PM on 12th October, well before choice filling closes that night.

• Check both the merit list and allotment result on 13th October, since both are published the same day.

• Watch for the follow-up notice on reporting and joining dates rather than assuming a schedule.

• Before choice filling, comparing recent cutoff trends across Tripura's medical and dental colleges can help you order preferences more realistically.

• If you want help interpreting this revised timeline against your own registration status, Shikkha's counselling services can walk you through it.

• For a specific question about your candidature, reach out directly rather than relying on forwarded messages.
