Seats left at Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad after Round 3

About 4 MBBS seats at Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad are expected to be open in the NEET UG 2026 mop-up round — 4 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)127794845222933in pool
NRIOpen (UR)23320061509in 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: 127 seats − 79 joined = 48 empty. 127 students were allotted; 48 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 48 open.
  2. Round 2: 48 open + 4 freed = 52 available → 52 filled. “Freed” = 4 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: 75 Round 1 students stayed + 52 placed in Round 2 = 127; 18 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 109 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 22 open.
  4. Round 3: 22 open + 9 freed = 31 available − 33 filled → counted in the management pool (below). Round 3 filled 2 more than available, matching empty NRI/minority seats offered as management seats (an approved MCC process). “Freed” = 9 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: NRI · Open (UR)
  1. Round 1: 23 seats − 3 joined = 20 empty. 5 students were allotted; 2 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 20 open.
  2. Round 2: 20 open + 0 freed = 20 available → 6 filled. 14 seats stayed unfilled.
  3. After Round 2 joining: 3 Round 1 students stayed + 6 placed in Round 2 = 9; 1 student placed in Round 2 did not join, so 8 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 15 open.
  4. Round 3: 15 open + 0 freed = 15 available − 9 filled → counted in the management pool (below).
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 37 open in Round 3 + 9 freed = 46 available − 42 filled = 4 seats left for the mop-up.
NRI seats (from MCC data): 23 · taken by NRI candidates: 18 · 2 empty NRI seats were filled as management in Round 3 (an approved MCC process) · 4 NRI seats are vacant after Round 3 — may be offered as management seats in the mop-up.
