In September, the National Medical Commission (NMC) added 6,850 seats while removing over 1,056 seats, citing outstanding court issues, clearance delays, renewals, and the inclusion of supernumerary seats. Approximately ten days later, the seat matrix was changed again, with 7,375 seats added and 456 seats removed. This modification came after the Cabinet approved 10,000 MBBS seats for Phase 3 of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) expansion.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has also extended the NEET UG Round 3 counselling choice-filling deadline to October 13, 2025.
