Unlock My College ListWhat is the Stray Round and who can apply?
The Stray Round is the final counselling round in Haryana's NEET UG admission process for MBBS and BDS courses. It is open to all eligible NEET UG 2026 candidates who either did not participate in earlier counselling rounds, did not secure a seat in those rounds, or wish to upgrade to a better college or course. This round fills any remaining vacant seats across government, government-aided, and private medical and dental colleges in Haryana, as well as seats in private and minority universities (SGT University Budhera, Maharishi Markendeshwar University Sadhopur, Al-Falah University Douj, and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences Jhajjar).
To be eligible for the Stray Round, you must have a valid NEET UG 2026 score, meet the eligibility criteria set by the National Medical Commission (NMC) or Dental Council of India (DCI), and be registered on the official admission portal. The exact eligibility rules — including age, qualification, and category requirements — remain as per the earlier public notices issued by Pt. B.D. Sharma University. If you are unsure whether you qualify, check the earlier notices on the university website or the admission portal before proceeding.
Important dates: the three-day timeline
The Stray Round operates on an extremely tight schedule. All three key steps happen within 72 hours, so you must be ready to act immediately. Missing even one deadline will result in loss of your seat.
Here is the exact timeline:
| Step | Activity | Date & Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Revised Provisional Allocation of seats and grievances redressal; allocation list uploaded | 24 October 2026 |
| 2 | Deposit of Provisional Tuition Fee (online only, via admission web portal) | Up to 25 October 2026, 11:59 PM |
| 3 | Physical Document Verification and On-Spot Joining/Reporting at allotted institute | 26 October 2026 |
Step 1: Check your provisional seat allocation (24 October)
On 24 October 2026, the university will release a revised provisional allocation list showing which seat (college, course, and category) has been assigned to you based on your NEET rank, category, and choices. You must log into the admission web portal (https://uhsrugcounselling.com) using your registration credentials to view your allocation.
If you believe there is an error in your allocation — for example, you were assigned a seat in a course you did not choose, or your category was wrongly applied — you must file a grievance on the same portal on 24 October itself. The university will review and redress grievances, and the final allocation list will be uploaded after corrections are made. Do not assume your allocation is final until you see the corrected list.
- Log in to https://uhsrugcounselling.com on 24 October
- Check your provisional seat allocation (college, course, category)
- If there is an error, file a grievance immediately on the portal
- Wait for the corrected allocation list to be uploaded
Step 2: Deposit provisional tuition fee online (by 25 October 11:59 PM)
Once you have confirmed your seat allocation, you must deposit the provisional tuition fee online through the admission web portal. This fee is non-refundable and secures your seat. The notice does not specify the exact fee amount — this information will be on the portal or in the earlier public notice (No. UHSR/Acad/A-III/2026/9575 dated 16 October 2026). You must check the portal or contact the university to confirm the fee before depositing.
The fee must be deposited by 25 October 2026 at 11:59 PM. After this deadline, the portal will close and you will not be able to deposit the fee. If you miss this deadline, your seat will be cancelled and you will not be allowed to proceed to document verification or joining. There is no extension or grace period — the deadline is strict.

Important: the fee can ONLY be deposited through the online admission web portal. Do not attempt to pay by any other method (bank transfer, cheque, cash, etc.). Only candidates who have successfully deposited the fee through the portal will be allowed to attend document verification on 26 October.
- Deposit fee online only via https://uhsrugcounselling.com
- Deadline: 25 October 2026, 11:59 PM (strict, no extension)
- Fee is non-refundable

Step 3: Document verification and on-the-spot joining (26 October)
On 26 October 2026, all candidates who have been provisionally allotted a seat AND have successfully deposited the provisional tuition fee must attend physical document verification at Sushruta Auditorium, Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak. This is a mandatory in-person step. You cannot skip it or attend on a different date.
During document verification, the university will check your original documents (NEET scorecard, 10+2 certificate, category certificate if applicable, domicile certificate, and any other documents listed in the earlier notice) against the copies you submitted during registration. If all documents are in order and you pass verification, you will be allowed to join your allotted college on the same day (on-the-spot joining/reporting). This means you must be prepared to physically report to your allotted college on 26 October itself.
If your documents are incomplete, incorrect, or do not match your application, you may be rejected at verification and lose your seat. Therefore, bring all original documents in perfect condition. Do not rely on photocopies or digital copies — originals are mandatory.
- Attend in person at Sushruta Auditorium, Pt. B.D. Sharma University, Rohtak on 26 October
- Bring all original documents (NEET scorecard, 10+2 certificate, category certificate, domicile, etc.)
- Verification is mandatory; no online or proxy attendance allowed
- If verified, you must join your allotted college on the same day (26 October)
- Incomplete or incorrect documents will result in rejection
Documents required for verification
The notice refers to 'other terms & conditions' in the earlier public notice (No. UHSR/Acad/A-III/2026/9575 dated 16 October 2026) for the complete list of required documents. However, based on standard Haryana NEET UG counselling practice, you will need to bring the following originals to document verification:
Ensure every document is an original (not a photocopy or digital copy), is in good condition, and matches the information in your NEET application and counselling registration. If any document is missing or does not match, you will be rejected at verification. If you are unsure about any document, download and read the earlier public notice (9575 dated 16 October) from the university website or admission portal.

- 10+2 Certificate or equivalent (original)

Common mistakes that get applications rejected
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Many candidates lose their seats in the Stray Round due to preventable errors. Here are the most common traps:
**Missing the fee deposit deadline:** The fee must be deposited by 25 October 11:59 PM. If you deposit it even one minute after 11:59 PM, the portal will reject it and your seat will be cancelled. Set a reminder for 25 October morning and do not wait until the last hour — the portal may be slow due to high traffic.
**Depositing fee through the wrong method:** The notice explicitly states the fee must be deposited 'through admission web portal only'. Do not attempt to pay via bank transfer, cheque, or any other method. Only online payment through the portal counts.
**Not bringing original documents:** Many candidates bring only photocopies or digital copies to verification. The university will reject these. You must bring originals of every document. If a document is lost, obtain a duplicate original from the issuing authority before 26 October.
**Bringing documents that do not match your application:** If your category certificate shows a different caste or sub-group than what you claimed in your NEET application, or if your domicile certificate is from a different state, you will be rejected. Ensure all documents match your application exactly.
**Not attending verification in person:** Document verification is mandatory and in-person only. You cannot send someone else or attend online. If you do not attend on 26 October, your seat will be cancelled.
**Missing the joining deadline:** If you pass verification on 26 October, you must join your allotted college on the same day. If you do not report to the college by the end of 26 October, your seat will be forfeited.
Where to find more information and updates
The notice directs all candidates to regularly check three official sources for updates and clarifications:
