NEET PG 2025: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has introduced a special stray vacancy round for NEET PG 2024 after lowering the cut-off percentile. Registration for this round will start on March 6, 2025, and candidates can apply online at mcc.nic.in. This special round has been announced to fill seats that remained vacant due to candidates not joining or reporting after the earlier counselling rounds. To accommodate this, the NEET PG cut-off percentile has been reduced to the 5th percentile.

Candidates who receive seat allotments in this special round must report to the assigned institute within the given timeframe and complete the admission process with all required original documents. The list of allotted candidates will be shared with state counselling authorities, and these candidates will not be allowed to participate in the special stray vacancy round of state counselling. Additionally, candidates must submit an undertaking on the MCC portal during the choice-filling process regarding their seat allotment.
