Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Stray Vacancy Round Eligibility Rules Out

The Rajasthan NEET UG counselling authority has clarified who can and cannot take part in the stray vacancy round. The note sets out how candidates who exited earlier, joined a seat, or were allotted a seat in Round 3 will be treated. It also covers a registration requirement for non-domicile candidates.

Who can apply

• Candidates who exited with forfeiture of the security amount in the Round 2 allotment, and did not register earlier (in Round 3), may apply again. This depends on their eligibility to take part in the stray vacancy round.
• Candidates who do not fall under clauses I to X of the other eligibility criteria but do fall under clause XI must also fill the application form or register. This applies to non-domicile candidates from outside Rajasthan.

Who cannot apply

• Candidates who show a joined status after Round 3, as per the information on the MCC website, will not be allowed to take part in the stray vacancy round.
• Candidates who were allotted or upgraded a seat in Round 3 but did not join will not be allowed to take part either.

What candidates should do

• Check the joined status shown on the MCC website before planning to apply for the stray vacancy round.
• Read the full eligibility criteria, clauses I to XI, in the official notice.
• Non-domicile candidates who fall under clause XI should complete the application form or registration.
• Keep checking the official counselling website for the stray vacancy schedule and updates.
