The Stray Vacancy Round aims to fill remaining MBBS and BDS seats across various institutions in Maharashtra, including government, corporation, government-aided, private unaided, and minority medical colleges. To be eligible for this crucial round, candidates must meet specific criteria:

• You must be a candidate who successfully registered for the Maharashtra NEET UG 2026 counselling process.

• Fresh choice filling was mandatory for participation in Stray Vacancy Round 1. Only choices submitted during the window of October 17 to 18, 2026, were considered for this selection list.

If you're still aiming for a medical seat, remember that the CET Cell has scheduled three stray rounds to ensure all vacant seats are filled. Keep an eye on the official portal for updates on subsequent rounds.

Once you've confirmed your allotment, it's time to prepare for the physical reporting process.

Physical reporting at your allotted college is a mandatory step to confirm your admission. Candidates must visit the designated college between October 20 and October 21, 2026, before 5:30 PM.
