The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced the final seat allotment result for the special stray vacancy round of NEET PG counselling 2024. The candidates who took part in this final round of counselling can now view their allotment status on the official MCC website, mcc.nic.in. This round is the final chance for candidates to get a seat in postgraduate medical courses after all earlier rounds have been conducted.

558 candidates have been given seats in this special stray vacancy round. The seat allotment list contains information like the colleges they have been allocated, specialisation, quota they have been allotted, ranks, and category of the candidates. But the candidates are reminded that the provisional result does not necessarily entitle them to claim the seat they have been allotted. Admission is only final after the final results are announced, and all formalities are completed at the concerned institutions.

Those candidates who have been allotted seats in this round are required to report to their respective institutes between March 13 and March 20, 2025. Failure to report within the specified time may lead to the cancellation of their allotment. While reporting, they need to undergo all admission formalities such as document verification and fee submission. Any failure or delay in fulfilling these conditions may result in forfeiture of the seat, and it could be transferred to other worthy contestants.

Prior to the declaration of final seat allotment, MCC had given candidates a chance to point out any error in the provisional result. Students could report any mistake through an email to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) until March 12, 2025, at noon. This process provides transparency to the seat allotment and gives candidates a chance to correct any probable errors before declaring the final results.

To verify the final seat allotment result, candidates must go to the official MCC website and click on the ‘PG Medical’ tab. There, they must click on the ‘Final Result of Stray Vacancy Round NEET PG 2024’ link, which will display the result in a PDF format. Candidates are recommended to download and save a copy of their final allotment result for future use.

The NEET PG counselling is an important process for medical graduates to get postgraduate admissions in different specializations in India. This year, the special stray vacancy round was conducted to fill the vacant seats in medical colleges so that no seat remains vacant because of unfilled vacancies in earlier rounds. This round is especially significant for those candidates who could not get a seat in the earlier rounds and have been waiting for a last chance to get admitted.

When the reporting period starts, candidates are required to bring all documents as mentioned below:

Their NEET PG scorecard

Allotment letter

Education certificates

Identity proof

Category certificates (if they have any)

Institutions will check these documents before completing the admission process. The candidates must also be ready to pay the fees as per the guidelines of the respective college.

For most hopeful physicians, securing a spot within the NEET PG counselling cycle is the key to opening their doors to further medical education and specialisation. The special stray vacancy round serves as a last opportunity for aspirants to obtain their desired entrance into postgraduate medical education. MCC has directed all the admitted candidates to enrol themselves as quickly as possible so that there can be no inconvenience at the very end.

As the last round of counselling for NEET PG concludes, medical aspirants nationwide are all set to embark on the subsequent stage of professional and academic journey. Those getting a seat by this process stand to gain severe training and specialty in their particular areas of medical interest, enhancing the future face of healthcare in India.
