AIQ seats for MBBS-BDS remain vacant even after the stray round; find out what happens next..
NEET UG: The admission process for MBBS and BDS courses under the All India Quota (AIQ) across the country is nearing its conclusion. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has already conducted three rounds of counselling, followed by a 'stray vacancy round'; however, some AIQ seats for MBBS and BDS courses still remain vacant. This has raised questions regarding how these remaining seats will be filled.
Let us examine in detail how many MBBS/BDS seats were included in the stray vacancy round, how many were filled, and how many remain vacant. We will also look at how these remaining seats might be filled.
Over 800 seats remain vacant
The MCC conducted a stray vacancy round to fill 4,068 MBBS/BDS seats. Admissions were secured for 3,108 of these seats. The MCC released the provisional seat allotment result recently, which indicates that more than 800 MBBS/BDS seats remain vacant following the stray vacancy round. It is believed that some candidates did not show up for admission during this round.
What happens next to fill the vacant seats?
More than 800 AIQ seats for MBBS and BDS courses across medical colleges nationwide remain unfilled. These vacancies persist even after four rounds of counselling—comprising three main rounds and one stray vacancy round. It is anticipated that the MCC may provide another opportunity to fill these remaining seats, potentially through a 'special stray vacancy round,' though no such announcement has been made by the MCC yet.
Check the MCC schedule for reporting
The MCC has released the provisional seat allotment result for the stray vacancy round. Candidates who participated can check their allotment status by visiting the official MCC website. Candidates who have been allotted a seat in this round must report to the allotted college for admission; the schedule for this is yet to be released by the MCC. Please continue to check the MCC website regularly for updates.
