If you have received an allotment, you must act quickly: fee payment and document verification must be completed by November 16, 2026, or you risk losing your security deposit and facing a penalty.
Allotted candidates in Gujarat's special stray round must pay fees at designated HDFC Bank branches and report with original documents by November 16, 2026, or forfeit their entire ₹3,10,000 security deposit plus penalty.

The special stray round is a final opportunity to fill seats that remained vacant after earlier rounds of counselling. In Gujarat's NEET UG 2026 process, this round offered 88 seats across MBBS and BDS programmes for the 2026–27 academic year.
Not every NEET UG candidate could participate. Only those who had explicitly consented to participate in the fourth stray vacancy round during their initial registration were eligible. Fresh registrations were not permitted at this stage, meaning candidates had to have been part of the counselling process from the beginning.
How many seats were available in the special stray round?
ACPUGMEC released 88 total seats across two courses. The breakdown reflects the distribution of vacant positions after all previous rounds of allotment.
- MBBS: 56 seats
- BDS: 32 seats

Critical deadline: November 16, 2026 for reporting
If your name appears in the allotment list, you have a strict deadline to confirm your admission. All fee payments and document submissions must be completed by November 16, 2026. This is not a flexible date—missing it has serious financial consequences.
The reporting process involves two steps: first, paying your tuition fee at a designated HDFC Bank branch (fees paid elsewhere will not be recognised), and second, visiting the Help Centre with original certificates to complete verification. Only after both steps are done should you report to your allotted college.
Fee payment: where and how to pay
Payment of tuition fees must be made exclusively at HDFC Bank branches designated by ACPUGMEC. Paying at any other bank or location will not confirm your admission, even if you submit the money before the deadline. After payment, keep your receipt safe—you will need to show it at the Help Centre.
The amount of tuition fee varies by course and college type (government or private). Ensure you know the exact fee for your allotted seat before visiting the bank.

After paying fees, you must visit the Help Centre with all your original certificates. Physical, hard-copy documents are mandatory. Digital copies uploaded to DigiLocker or other online platforms will not be accepted, even if they are officially verified.
Bring originals of your 10th and 12th mark sheets, NEET admit card, NEET result, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other documents specified in the allotment notice. Incomplete documentation may delay your admission confirmation.
What happens if you don't report by the deadline?
Every candidate who participated in this round paid a refundable security deposit of ₹3,00,000 upfront. This deposit was paid either online or at designated HDFC Bank branches during the registration phase. If you fail to report or confirm your admission by November 16, 2026, this entire deposit will be forfeited.
In addition to losing the deposit, an extra penalty of ₹10,000 will be charged. This means the total financial loss for not joining is ₹3,10,000. This is a significant amount, so it is critical to complete all steps on time if you have been allotted a seat.
What comes next if seats remain vacant?
If any BDS or MBBS seats remain unfilled after this special stray round, they may be offered in a fifth online stray round. This round, if conducted, will follow the guidelines set by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Candidates who were not allotted in this round but remain interested should monitor official announcements for any further rounds.
