• In-Service Quota: A substantial portion of the state quota seats (approximately 40%) remains reserved for in-service doctors under the Department of Health and Family Welfare, following the government service bond guidelines.
• Stray Round Outlook: Any seats remaining vacant after today’s 4:00 PM deadline will be reconciled and published as the "Pure Vacancy" list for the online stray vacancy round starting tomorrow.
