NEET UG 2025 Stray Vacancy Round Starts from Nov 4: Last Chance to Get a Seat

New Delhi: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced that the NEET UG 2025 Stray Vacancy Round Counselling will begin from November 4, 2025. This is the final and last opportunity for MBBS and BDS aspirants to secure admission under the All India Quota (AIQ), Deemed Universities, and Central Universities.

Candidates who haven’t been allotted any seat in previous rounds can now participate in this final round of MCC counselling. The registration and choice filling process will be conducted online through the official MCC website- mcc.nic.in.
