Chhattisgarh has initiated the special stray vacancy round counselling for NEET 2026, offering 72 seats for MBBS and BDS courses to remaining candidates.
The Chhattisgarh state government has commenced the special stray vacancy round counselling for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2026. This phase is designed to fill the remaining unfilled medical seats across various institutions in the state.
According to the latest update, a total of 72 seats are available in this specific round. These vacancies are distributed across MBBS and BDS courses, providing a final opportunity for eligible candidates who were not allotted seats in previous counselling phases.
The stray round is a standard procedure in medical admissions in India, aimed at ensuring that no government or private medical college seats remain vacant due to lack of applicants or non-joining of previously allotted students. Candidates interested in these seats are expected to participate in the counselling process as per the schedule issued by the state authorities.
This move ensures the optimal utilization of medical infrastructure in Chhattisgarh, allowing the state to maximize enrollment in its medical colleges for the upcoming academic session.
