Seats left at Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar after Round 3

About 2 MBBS seats at Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar are expected to be open in the NEET UG 2026 mop-up round — 2 Management pool (Management + NRI). WhiteCoatGuru estimate from MCC’s Round 1–3 seat matrices and allotments; it assumes every Round 3 allottee joins.

QuotaCategoryR1 seatsR1 joinedOpen R2Freed R2R2 filledOpen R3Freed R3R3 filledLeft
Management (Self-Financed)Open (UR)213173401454101127in pool
NRIOpen (UR)373340926018in pool
Freed = seats released during that round because the student holding them upgraded to another college; MCC gives these out in the same round, which is why a round can fill more seats than its official vacancy list.

How we worked it out — step by step

The maths: Management (Self-Financed) · Open (UR)
  1. Round 1: 213 seats − 173 joined = 40 empty. 213 students were allotted; 40 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 40 open.
  2. Round 2: 40 open + 14 freed = 54 available → 54 filled. “Freed” = 14 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. Every available seat was filled.
  3. After Round 2 joining: 159 Round 1 students stayed + 54 placed in Round 2 = 213; 8 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 205 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 10 open.
  4. Round 3: 10 open + 11 freed = 21 available − 27 filled → counted in the management pool (below). Round 3 filled 6 more than available, matching empty NRI/minority seats offered as management seats (an approved MCC process). “Freed” = 11 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: NRI · Open (UR)
  1. Round 1: 37 seats − 3 joined = 34 empty. 4 students were allotted; 1 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 34 open.
  2. Round 2: 34 open + 0 freed = 34 available → 9 filled. 25 seats stayed unfilled.
  3. After Round 2 joining: 3 Round 1 students stayed + 9 placed in Round 2 = 12; 1 student placed in Round 2 did not join, so 11 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 26 open.
  4. Round 3: 26 open + 0 freed = 26 available − 18 filled → counted in the management pool (below).
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 36 open in Round 3 + 11 freed = 47 available − 45 filled = 2 seats left for the mop-up.
NRI seats (from MCC data): 37 · taken by NRI candidates: 30 · 6 empty NRI seats were filled as management in Round 3 (an approved MCC process) · 2 NRI seats are vacant after Round 3 — may be offered as management seats in the mop-up.
