This is a crucial announcement for all medical graduates seeking admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses under the 50% All India Quota (AIQ), Central Universities, and Deemed Universities.

The revised timeline is necessary following recent changes in the national seat matrix, including the addition of 239 PG seats in Deemed Universities and the withdrawal of 235 DNB seats. All eligible candidates must adhere strictly to the new dates, as the Round 2 registration starts on December 5, 2025.
