Haryana NEET UG 2026 Vacant Seats: MBBS/BDS Round-Stray Matrix

Haryana's Directorate of Medical Education & Research (DMER) has released a revised, tentative vacant seat matrix for MBBS and BDS admissions in the 2026-27 academic session, as of 22 October 2026. This matrix shows which seats remain unfilled across government, government-aided, and private medical and dental colleges in Haryana after the main counselling rounds. The data is critical for candidates participating in the stray round (also called spot counselling), as it tells you exactly which colleges have openings in which categories and quotas. The matrix covers all major Haryana medical colleges, including those under private universities like SGT University, Maharishi Markandeshwar University, and Sanskaram University. Three seats are flagged with court orders that may affect their final status. If you are eligible and waiting for a seat, this matrix is your roadmap to available options.

What is this vacant seat matrix and why does it matter?

A vacant seat matrix is an official list showing exactly how many seats are empty at each medical and dental college, broken down by category and quota. After the main counselling rounds conclude, some seats remain unfilled because candidates either did not accept them, did not report to college, or were not allotted a seat in their preferred category. These empty seats are then offered in a stray round (also called spot counselling or mop-up round), where eligible candidates can apply directly to colleges.

This matrix, dated 22 October 2026, is your definitive guide to what is available right now. It tells you not just how many seats are vacant, but exactly which college has them and in which category—Open, OBC, SC, or reserved quotas. Without this information, you would be applying blindly. With it, you can target colleges where you have a realistic chance based on your rank and category.

Total vacant seats across Haryana: MBBS and BDS

Across all government, government-aided, and private medical colleges in Haryana, there are 107 vacant MBBS seats as of 22 October 2026. Across all dental colleges, there are 26 vacant BDS seats. These totals span all categories and quotas combined. The breakdown by college and category is shown in the detailed matrix below.

• Total MBBS vacant seats: 107
• Total BDS vacant seats: 26
• Data as of: 22 October 2026

Understanding the seat categories and quotas in the matrix

The matrix uses abbreviations for different categories and quotas. Understanding these is essential, because a seat marked as vacant in one category may not be available to you if you belong to a different category.

**OPEN_CAT** = Open category seats (available to all candidates regardless of caste). **OPEN_CAT_PWBD** = Open category seats reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD). **OPEN_CAT_ESM_FF** = Open category seats reserved for Ex-Servicemen (ESM) and Freedom Fighters. **OSC** = Other State Category (candidates from outside Haryana). **OSC_PWBD** = Other State Category with PwBD reservation. **OSC_ESM_FF** = Other State Category with ESM/Freedom Fighter reservation. **SC_DEPRIVED** = Scheduled Caste (SC) category seats for deprived SC candidates. **SC_DEPRIVED_PWBD** = SC Deprived with PwBD reservation. **SC_DEPRIVED_ESM_FF** = SC Deprived with ESM/Freedom Fighter reservation. **BCA** = Backward Caste (OBC) seats. **BCA_PWBD** = OBC seats with PwBD reservation.

If you are an SC candidate from Haryana, you can only apply to seats marked SC_DEPRIVED or SC_DEPRIVED_PWBD or SC_DEPRIVED_ESM_FF (if you qualify). If you are an OBC candidate, you can apply to BCA or BCA_PWBD seats. If you are General/Open category, you can apply to OPEN_CAT seats. If you are from another state, you can apply to OSC seats. Always check your eligibility before applying.

MBBS colleges and vacant seats by college

Below is the complete list of all MBBS colleges in Haryana with vacant seats as of 22 October 2026. Each row shows the college name, its code, and the number of vacant seats in each category. A '0' means no seats are vacant in that category at that college. Read across each row to find colleges with openings in your eligible category.

BDS colleges and vacant seats by college

Below is the complete list of all BDS (dental) colleges in Haryana with vacant seats as of 22 October 2026. Each row shows the college name, its code, and the number of vacant seats in each category. A '0' means no seats are vacant in that category at that college.

Important: Seats flagged with court orders—what you need to know

Three colleges have seats marked with asterisks (*), (**), or (***) because they are subject to ongoing court cases. These seats may or may not be available by the time you apply, depending on the court's final decision. You must read the notes carefully before targeting these colleges.

**Al-Falah School of Medical Science & Research Centre, Faridabad (marked *):** This college shows 11 vacant MBBS seats. However, the seat count has been increased from 150 to 200 subject to the final outcome of a court petition (CWP No. 30532 of 2025) pending in the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The court has issued an interim order allowing the college to admit the additional 50 students, but this is not final. If the court later reverses its order, these seats may be withdrawn. Apply only if you are comfortable with this uncertainty.

**NC Medical College & Hospital, Israna, Panipat (marked **):** This college shows 1 vacant seat in the OPEN_CAT_PWBD (Open category for Persons with Benchmark Disability) category. This seat is marked as 'not filled till the next date' in compliance with a Punjab & Haryana High Court order dated 05 October 2026 (CWP No. 32799-2026). This means the seat may not be available in the current stray round; it is being held pending the court's final decision.

**Maharishi Markendeshwar College of Medical Sciences and Research, Sadhopur, Ambala (marked ***):** This college shows 3 vacant seats in the Open category and 1 in the OSC category, for a total of 14 vacant MBBS seats. However, one seat that was allotted in the Open category in Round-3 has been kept reserved (held back) in compliance with a Punjab & Haryana High Court order dated 21 October 2026 (CWP No. 35313-2026). This seat is subject to the final outcome of the court case. Do not assume all 14 seats are freely available.

• Al-Falah (Faridabad): 11 MBBS seats, but seat increase pending court approval
• NC Medical College (Panipat): 1 PwBD seat held pending court decision
• MM College (Sadhopur, Ambala): 14 MBBS seats, but 1 Open seat held pending court decision

Which colleges have the most vacant seats?

If you are looking for the best chances of getting a seat, target colleges with the highest number of vacancies. For MBBS, the colleges with the most vacant seats are: Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar (27 seats), NC Medical College & Hospital, Israna, Panipat (14 seats), and Maharishi Markendeshwar College, Sadhopur, Ambala (14 seats). For BDS, Yamuna Institute of Dental Sciences, Yamunanagar has the most (8 seats), followed by PGIDS, Rohtak (6 seats).

However, remember that a college with many vacant seats may have them only in categories you are not eligible for. Always check the category-wise breakdown. For example, Sanskaram has 27 vacant MBBS seats, but all 5 are in the Open category—if you are SC or OBC, you will not be eligible for these seats.

• MBBS: Sanskaram (27), NC Medical Panipat (14), MM College Ambala (14)
• BDS: Yamuna Institute Yamunanagar (8), PGIDS Rohtak (6)
• Always check your category eligibility before applying

Colleges with zero vacant seats

Several colleges show zero vacant seats across all categories. This means all seats have been filled in the main counselling rounds and there are no openings in the stray round. Do not apply to these colleges unless the matrix is updated. These colleges include: Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Govt. Medical College (Nalhar Mewat), Kalpana Chawla Govt. Medical College (Karnal), Maharaja Agrasen Medical College (Agroha Hisar), ESIC Medical College (Faridabad), Maharishi Chyawan Govt. Medical College (Koriawas, Narnaul), Pt. Neki Ram Sharma Govt. Medical College (Bhiwani), and several dental colleges including Jan Nayak Ch. Devi Lal Dental College (Sirsa) and Sudha Rustagi College (Faridabad).

How to use this matrix to apply in the stray round

Step 1: Identify your category. Are you General/Open, OBC, SC, from another state (OSC), or do you have a disability (PwBD) or ESM/Freedom Fighter status? This determines which columns of the matrix apply to you.

Step 2: Look at the matrix and find all colleges that have at least one vacant seat in your eligible category. For example, if you are an SC candidate from Haryana, look only at the SC_DEPRIVED, SC_DEPRIVED_PWBD, and SC_DEPRIVED_ESM_FF columns.

Step 3: Cross-check your NEET rank against the expected cutoff for each college. A college with many vacant seats may have a high cutoff, meaning your rank may not qualify. Conversely, a college with few vacant seats may have a lower cutoff. The matrix does not show cutoffs, so you will need to check the counselling portal or previous year's data.

Step 4: Prepare a list of colleges in order of preference. Rank them by location, reputation, and your likelihood of getting in based on your rank.

Step 5: When the stray round opens, log into the UHS Rohtak counselling portal (uhsrugcounselling.com) and apply to your chosen colleges. Follow the portal's instructions for document upload and fee payment.

Step 6: After you apply, the college will verify your documents and eligibility. If approved, you will be allotted a seat. You must then report to the college on the date specified to complete admission formalities.

This matrix is tentative and subject to change

The document clearly states this is a 'Revised - Tentative Vacant Seat Matrix.' This means the numbers are current as of 22 October 2026, but they can change. Seats may become available if candidates withdraw, or seats may be filled if new allotments are made. The three court-flagged seats are especially uncertain. Always check the official UHS Rohtak portal for the latest updates before applying. Do not rely solely on this matrix if more than a few days have passed since 22 October 2026.
