What Does This Round Mean
The stray vacancy round serves as the last chance for NEET UG aspirants seeking admission in government and private medical colleges across India under the AIQ scheme. With very limited seats remaining, candidates are advised to act promptly and participate actively by filling choices carefully.
For students still hoping to secure an MBBS/BDS seat, this is the final opportunity of the 2025 counselling cycle. Ensure timely registration, choice submission, and reporting to maximize your chances of admission.
