Haryana launches Stray Vacancy Round registration for NEET UG 2025 MBBS/BDS counselling

The crucial Stray Vacancy Round for Haryana NEET UG 2025 MBBS/BDS counselling is quickly drawing to a close. Registration and choice filling concluded on November 15, 2025. The next critical steps begin today, November 17, 2025, with the provisional seat allotment results being published. Candidates must note the extremely tight window for fee payment (Nov 17-18) and the mandatory physical document verification (Nov 19-20). This final round is the last opportunity for eligible aspirants to secure a medical or dental seat in the state for the 2025-26 academic session.

The lengthy and competitive counselling process for NEET UG 2025 admissions to MBBS and BDS courses in Haryana has entered its decisive final stage: the Stray Vacancy Round. This round is specifically designed to fill any remaining vacant seats across government, government-aided, and private medical and dental colleges after the initial three rounds. The application window for fresh registration and choice filling, which opened on November 13, 2025, has now closed (November 15, 2025, 11:59 PM). Today, November 17, 2025, marks the start of the final allotment and reporting process, managed by the Department of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Haryana, in conjunction with the Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHSR), Rohtak. Aspirants who participated in this high-stakes final round must be prepared to act swiftly, as the entire remaining schedule is condensed into a highly stringent four-day window.

​The Allotment and Fee Payment Deadline

​The schedule for the Stray Vacancy Round leaves no room for error or delay. Candidates must keep a constant check on the official counselling website, as missing a single step in this phase will lead to the forfeiture of the seat.

• ​Provisional Allotment Result Declaration:
  • ​The Provisional Allocation of Seats is scheduled to be released today, November 17, 2025. This list will be published on the official counselling portal, detailing the allotted college and course for each selected candidate.
  • ​Aspirants are advised to check the provisional list immediately and look out for the Final Allocation List after a brief grievance period, if any.
• ​Online Provisional Tuition Fee Deposition: 
  • ​The most crucial step immediately following allotment is the online deposition of the provisional tuition fee.
  • ​This window is extremely short, running from November 17, 2025, to November 18, 2025 (up to 11:59 PM). Failure to deposit the requisite fee within this 48-hour period will automatically result in the cancellation of the allotted seat.
• ​Finality of the Stray Round: 
  • ​Candidates who participate in the Stray Vacancy Round and are allotted a seat cannot resign or surrender it. Once the fee is paid, the admission is considered final for the academic year, underscoring the serious commitment required from participants.

​ Mandatory Physical Verification and Reporting

​Unlike the initial online rounds, the Stray Vacancy Round often mandates the physical presence of candidates for document verification and on-spot joining. This is the final procedural hurdle before securing the admission.

• ​Physical Document Verification Venue and Dates: 
  • ​Venue: The physical document verification of provisionally allotted candidates who successfully deposited the fee will be conducted at the Sushruta Auditorium, Pt. B. D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHSR), Rohtak.
  • ​Dates: The physical verification and on-spot joining process will run from November 19 to November 20, 2025 (9:00 AM onwards).
• ​Documents Required: Candidates must carry all original documents as specified in the official prospectus for verification. These typically include: 
  • ​NEET UG 2025 Admit Card and Scorecard.
  • ​Provisional Allotment Letter (downloaded after fee payment).
  • ​Class 10 and 12 Mark Sheets and Certificates.
  • ​Domicile Certificate (if applicable).
  • ​Category Certificate (SC/BC/EWS/PwD, issued by the competent authority after the prescribed date).
• ​Final Joining Deadline: 
  • ​The last date for joining the allotted institute and completing all admission formalities is November 20, 2025 (up to 4:00 PM). The failure to report in person with all verified documents at the allotted college by this deadline will lead to the definitive cancellation of the seat.

Stray Vacancy Round: Last Chance for MBBS/BDS

​The Stray Vacancy Round represents the culmination of the counselling process, offering a final lifeline to those candidates who could not secure a seat in the earlier rounds. Success here often depends on strategic choice filling and readiness for quick action.

• ​Eligibility: This round is generally open to candidates who were not allotted any seat in the previous rounds (Round 1, 2, or 3) or those who had resigned/were eliminated from earlier rounds as per the rules. Candidates already holding an MBBS/BDS seat are usually not eligible to participate.
• ​Seat Matrix: The counselling aims to fill all seats falling vacant due to non-joining, surrender, or cancellation across government and private institutions. Candidates must refer to the latest official seat matrix released by the DMER Haryana to understand the available seats.
• ​On-Spot Allotment: Due to the time constraints, the process often has elements of on-spot allocation following the physical verification, meaning candidates must be physically present and prepared to finalize their admission on the day of verification.

​Conclusion

​The Haryana NEET UG 2025 Stray Vacancy Round timetable is clear, concise, and highly demanding. The publication of the provisional allotment results today, November 17, 2025, initiates a frantic four-day period requiring prompt online fee payment and mandatory physical verification. Aspirants must ensure their presence at UHSR Rohtak between November 19 and 20 with all requisite original documents. This is the absolute final opportunity to realize the dream of joining an MBBS or BDS program in Haryana for the 2025-26 session.
