Who is Not Eligible?
- Candidates who were allotted a seat through MCC Round 3 but did not join are not eligible for the Stray Vacancy Round of MCC Counselling.
- Candidates who have already joined a State Quota seat in previous rounds cannot participate in the Stray Vacancy Round of MCC Counselling.
Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria can participate in the online counselling process, which will continue until February 16, 2025. MCC has also updated the revised schedule on its official website, ensuring transparency for applicants.
Candidates who are allotted seats in the stray vacancy round must ensure they join their designated institutions, as failing to do so will lead to forfeiture of their security deposit. Furthermore, such candidates will be debarred from appearing for the NEET PG exam next year. MCC has also announced that data of candidates who joined in Round 3 will be shared with state counselling authorities, and these candidates will be barred from taking admission in state quota counselling.
