Kerala’s CEE to Publish Final Stray Vacancy Allotment Today, 2 Dec; After Option-Registration Window Closes

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, is set to release the Final Stray Vacancy Allotment for PG Ayurveda courses on December 2, 2025. This is the critical, final phase to fill any remaining vacant seats after previous rounds. Candidates who registered their fresh options by the December 1st deadline must check the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, for their final seat assignment. Prepare all documents for immediate reporting, as this is the conclusive opportunity for admission to coveted PG Ayurveda seats in Kerala.

The intense counselling process for Post Graduate (PG) Ayurveda courses in Kerala is nearing its conclusion. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has confirmed the release date for the Final Stray Vacancy Allotment as December 2, 2025. This allotment list is of paramount importance as it represents the last opportunity for eligible aspirants to secure a seat in Kerala's prestigious Government and Self-Financing Ayurveda Medical Colleges for the 2025 academic session. The stray vacancy round is a meticulously conducted process designed to fill seats that remained vacant after the main centralised allotment phases (Round 1, 2, and Mop-Up).

​Candidates who successfully completed the fresh online option registration—a mandatory step which closed on December 1, 2025—will be considered in this final round. The seat assignment is strictly based on the candidates' state merit rank, the options they registered during the specified window, and the applicability of state reservation norms. Aspirants must be fully prepared to act on the allotment immediately, as the window for joining the allotted colleges is typically very short in a stray vacancy round. This final notification on December 2, 2025, will mark the culmination of the centralised admission process.

​ Understanding the Stray Vacancy Allotment Mechanism

​The Stray Vacancy Round, especially when designated as 'Final,' operates under stringent rules to ensure that all available seats are filled before the academic session commences. It differs significantly from the earlier, more relaxed counselling phases.

• ​Filling Leftover Seats: The primary goal of this round is to fill seats that remained unfilled due to non-joining by candidates allotted in previous rounds, or seats that may have been newly added or forfeited. This process is common for professional courses like PG Ayurveda.
• ​Fresh Option Registration is Key: Unlike previous rounds where higher options were retained, the Stray Vacancy Round mandates a fresh registration of options. The allotment is done only based on the preferences submitted up to the December 1st deadline. 
  • ​Candidates must have carefully reviewed the updated seat matrix published by CEE prior to option registration to understand the exact vacant seats available across various colleges and course specialities (e.g., Kayachikitsa, Shalyatantra, Panchakarma).
• ​Finality of Allotment: A crucial rule in the stray vacancy round is the finality of the allotment. Candidates who are allotted a seat in this round—irrespective of whether they join the college or not—are generally ineligible to participate in any further counselling or allotment processes for the same academic year. This underscores the need for candidates to have registered only those options they are absolutely willing to join.

​ Immediate Steps After December 2nd Allotment Publication

​The publication of the Final Stray Vacancy Allotment on December 2, 2025, triggers a rapid sequence of events that every aspirant must follow to secure their seat.

• ​Downloading the Allotment Memo: The first step is to log into the CEE candidate portal on cee.kerala.gov.in using the application number and password. Candidates must download and print the Provisional Allotment Memo. This memo contains crucial details like the allotted college, course, category of allotment, and the fee structure.
• ​Fee Remittance: Candidates allotted a seat must pay the requisite fee/balance fee as specified in the allotment memo. This fee payment, often done online or at designated bank branches, is mandatory and is the first confirmation of seat acceptance. Non-payment within the specified short deadline will lead to the forfeiture of the allotted seat.
• ​Mandatory College Reporting and Document Verification: Following fee payment, the candidate must physically report to the allotted PG Ayurveda College with all necessary original documents and their photocopies. The reporting period will be extremely short (often 2-3 days). 
  • ​Required Documents: Include, but are not limited to, NEET-PG 2025 Score Card, Allotment Memo, Fee Receipt, NEET-PG Admit Card, SSLC/10th Certificate, 12th Certificate, BAMS/BHMS Degree Certificate and Mark Sheets, Internship Completion Certificate, Medical Council Registration Certificate, Domicile Certificate, and Category/Community Certificates (if applicable).
  • ​The college authorities will verify these documents against the candidate's profile. Only upon successful verification and submission of the mandatory tuition and miscellaneous fees will the admission be considered final.

​Key Advisory for PG Ayurveda Aspirants

​The Stray Vacancy Allotment is a high-stakes event. Candidates must be meticulous and ready to move immediately upon the result publication.

• ​Check Official Website ONLY: All information, including the final schedule for reporting and documents required, will be published exclusively on the official CEE Kerala website (cee.kerala.gov.in). Avoid relying on unofficial sources.
• ​Financial Readiness: Since the joining time is short, ensure that the necessary funds for admission (including tuition fees and caution deposit) are readily available.
• ​No Upgradation Possible: Unlike earlier rounds, there is no option for upgradation in subsequent rounds from a seat secured in the Final Stray Vacancy Allotment. The decision to accept the seat is final.

​Conclusion

​The Final Stray Vacancy Allotment for CEE Kerala PG Ayurveda courses on December 2, 2025, is the concluding chapter of the admissions journey. Aspirants who have registered their options should treat this date with the utmost importance, prepare their documents and finances, and be ready to report to their assigned college without delay. Securing a seat in this final phase is the result of perseverance and meticulous planning, marking the successful start of their specialisation in Ayurveda.
