Stray Vacancy Round Results Released

The provisional results for the 'Stray Vacancy Round' of NEET UG 2026 have been published. This final counseling phase aims to fill any unoccupied seats in MBBS and BDS programs after the main counseling sessions.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has made the provisional results available for the Stray Vacancy Round of NEET UG 2026. This concluding phase is crucial for filling the leftover seats in MBBS and BDS colleges following the primary counseling rounds. Candidates who participated in this round and received a seat must complete their document verification and admission procedures at their designated college within the specified timeline. Additionally, candidates who notice any discrepancies in their provisional allotment results can raise objections by 11:00 AM today, October 20, as per MCC guidelines.

The Stray Vacancy Round is the last opportunity in the NEET UG counseling process, allowing eligible candidates—who did not secure a seat in earlier rounds—to apply for the remaining vacancies. These vacancies may occur if candidates who were offered seats either declined, did not report to the college, or chose not to accept the offer for various reasons. This round is particularly important as it represents the final chance to gain admission to an MBBS or BDS college through the regular counseling process. Candidates who miss this opportunity will not have any further chances for the current academic year.
