Rohtak, October 23, 2026: In a significant development for medical aspirants, the Department of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Haryana, has unveiled four crucial documents pertaining to the NEET UG 2026–27 Stray Vacancy Round. Released on October 22 through the official counselling portal, these notifications bring a ray of hope for candidates still vying for MBBS and BDS seats across the state.

What Has Been Released?

The authorities have published the following documents:

• Provisional Merit List-cum-Allotment – Check whether you stand Allotted or Not Allotted

• Provisional Allotment after Grievance Redressal – Post-complaint resolution list

• Revised Tentative Vacant Seat Matrix – College-wise and category-wise vacancies

• Physical Document Verification Schedule – Date, time, and venue for verification

Vacancy Matrix: The Figures That Matter Most

The revised matrix lists 107 vacant seats — a marginal rise from 106 seats in the previous matrix:

 Top MBBS vacancies:

• Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar — 27 seats

• NC Medical College, Panipat — 14 seats

• Maharishi Markandeshwar College, Ambala — 14 seats

• Al-Falah School of Medical Science, Faridabad — 11 seats

Top BDS vacancies:

• Yamuna Institute of Dental Sciences, Yamunanagar — 8 seats

• PGIDS, Rohtak — 6 seats

Interestingly, 73 of the 107 seats fall under the Management Quota, while 7 are earmarked for NRI candidates. Notably, a handful of seats remain entangled in court proceedings before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, so the vacancy figures should not be construed as a guaranteed allotment.

Fee Deadline Discrepancy: Read This Carefully

Here lies a perplexing contradiction that candidates must not overlook:

• Counselling schedule on the portal: Fee payment window closes October 23, 8:00 PM

• October 22 verification notice: Fee accepted until October 24, 11:00 AM

Since the two official directives do not align, the prudent course of action is to remit the provisional tuition fee before the earlier deadline — October 23, 8 PM — and retain the payment receipt. Do not presume the later date as a confirmed extension without official clarification.

Verification & Joining Schedule

 Physical presence of the candidate is mandatory.

Documents to Carry

• NEET UG 2026 result card and admit card

• Class 10 certificate (DOB proof)

• Valid photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport/Voter ID)

• Application form printout + fee payment proof

• Category, domicile, EWS, PwBD certificates (as applicable)

• Three recent passport-size photographs

• A single set of photocopies of all documents

Final Word

This Stray Round is the last frontier for aspirants seeking admission this academic session. Check your allotment status, pay the fee at the earliest, and report for verification without fail. Failing to join an allotted seat may result in forfeiture of the security amount and debarment from future rounds.
