Seats left at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Research Institute, Pondicherry after Round 3

About 82 MBBS seats at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Research Institute, Pondicherry are expected to be open in the NEET UG 2026 mop-up round — 82 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)2351369951143385627in pool
NRIOpen (UR)15015001500in 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: 235 seats − 136 joined = 99 empty. 235 students were allotted; 99 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 99 open.
  2. Round 2: 99 open + 51 freed = 150 available → 143 filled. “Freed” = 51 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. 7 seats stayed unfilled.
  3. After Round 2 joining: 85 Round 1 students stayed + 143 placed in Round 2 = 228; 29 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 199 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 38 open.
  4. Round 3: 38 open + 56 freed = 94 available − 27 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 56 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: NRI · Open (UR)
  1. Round 1: 15 seats − 0 joined = 15 empty. 1 student was allotted; 1 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 15 open.
  2. Round 2: 15 open + 0 freed = 15 available → 0 filled. 15 seats stayed unfilled.
  3. After Round 2 joining: 0 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 15 open.
  4. Round 3: 15 open + 0 freed = 15 available − 0 filled → counted in the management pool (below).
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 53 open in Round 3 + 56 freed = 109 available − 27 filled = 82 seats left for the mop-up.
NRI seats (from MCC data): 15 · taken by NRI candidates: 0 · 15 NRI seats are vacant after Round 3 — may be offered as management seats in the mop-up.
