The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has extended the deadline for filling choices in the NEET UG 2024 stray vacancy counselling. The registration and payment window for the stray vacancy round is now open until October 27, 2024.
“Due to numerous requests from candidates, the registration and payment facility for the UG Counseling 2024 stray vacancy round has been reopened,” MCC announced in an official statement. Registration is open until 12:00 noon on October 27, with the payment option available until 3:00 PM on the same day.
This decision followed multiple appeals from NEET UG candidates, prompting the Competent Authority to reopen the choice-filling process starting today, as per MCC’s notice.
According to the updated schedule, the choice-locking feature will be active from 4:00 PM to 11:55 PM on October 27. Eligible candidates must lock their choices on MCC’s official website—mcc.nic.in.
Only candidates who wish to modify or change their previously filled and locked choices can use this option. Those satisfied with their choices do not need to make any changes.
MCC clarified that no new registrations will be allowed at this stage.
For the stray vacancy round, a total of 1,184 seats are still available. Candidates are advised to approach their allotted colleges or institutes only after the final results are announced and the allotment letter is downloaded from the MCC website.
