A stray vacancy round for NEET-UG counselling 2021 will be held by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). In order to fill the vacancy seats, especially in all India quota/central institute/central university/AIIMS/JIPMER, this special stray vacancy round will be conducted online.
The MCC of Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) conducted an online stray vacancy round for MBBS seats this year. However, it was stated that 325 MBBS seats were still vacant. The details of the vacant seats are available on the official website of MCC, mcc.nic.in.
It was also stated that all the pre-registered candidates who were not holding any seats were eligible to participate in the special stray vacancy round.
