Summary
- Allotment of seats in NEET UG Counselling 2025 stray vacancy round is final
- Supreme Court order requires weeding out candidates who secured AIQ seats
- Reporting for stray vacancy round begins on November 16, 2025
On November 15, 2025, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued a critical advisory regarding the NEET UG Counselling 2025 process. According to the notice, the final result of the stray vacancy round has already been published, and there is no provision for resignation in this round. The MCC has clarified that once a candidate is allotted a seat in the stray vacancy round, the allotment is now final and cannot be changed.
In compliance with a Supreme Court order, the Counselling Committee has directed all state counselling authorities to weed out candidates who have already secured seats under the All India Quota (AIQ) before they begin processing seats for the state stray vacancy round. State authorities have been asked to download the updated list of allotted candidates from the MCC's data-sharing portal to ensure that individuals holding AIQ seats do not participate in state-level stray counselling.
The notice further reiterates that the filtering of candidates who have joined AIQ seats is mandatory before the commencement of state stray vacancy rounds. According to the advisory, reporting for the Stray Round of UG Counselling 2025 will begin on November 16, 2025, from 9:00 AM onwards.
