Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHSR), Rohtak has opened registration for the Haryana NEET UG Special Stray Round 2026 to fill remaining vacant MBBS and BDS seats across government and private medical colleges in the state. This round, announced on November 3, 2026, follows the regular Stray Round that ended on October 26 and represents the final opportunity for eligible candidates to secure a medical or dental seat in Haryana for the 2026–27 academic year. After this round closes, any remaining seats will be forfeited at the state level, making this a critical window for aspirants who have not yet been allotted a college. All candidates must complete fresh registration on the official portal uhsrugcounselling.com, even if they participated in earlier counselling rounds.
The Haryana Special Stray Round 2026 is your last chance to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in the state; fresh registration is mandatory, and the schedule is tight with strict deadlines for each step.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Haryana Special Stray Round and why does it matter?
A stray round in medical counselling is held after all regular rounds of seat allocation are complete. It exists to fill seats that remain vacant because candidates either did not report to their allotted colleges, declined their offers, or were not matched in earlier rounds. The Special Stray Round in Haryana is distinct from the regular Stray Round because it is an additional, final attempt to place candidates before the counselling process closes entirely for the year.
For a NEET UG aspirant, this round is significant because it may offer access to colleges or courses that were not available in earlier rounds, or it may be your first real opportunity if you were not allotted a seat previously. However, it is also the last opportunity. Once this round concludes and reporting deadlines pass, no further counselling will be conducted in Haryana for MBBS and BDS seats in 2026–27. Any seats still vacant after this round are typically cancelled or held for future use, meaning you cannot secure admission through counselling after this point.
Who is eligible to apply for the Haryana Special Stray Round 2026?
To participate in this round, you must meet several conditions set by UHSR and the Haryana state government. First, you must have appeared in and qualified the NEET UG 2026 examination with a valid scorecard. Second, you must satisfy Haryana's domicile and category eligibility rules. Domicile typically means you or your parents have lived in Haryana for a specified period (usually 15 years or more, though exact rules are in the official notification). Category refers to whether you are applying under General, OBC, SC, ST, or other reserved categories as per Haryana's reservation policy.
Importantly, if you have already been admitted and reported to a college in any earlier round of counselling—whether in Haryana or another state—you are not eligible for this round. The rule exists to prevent candidates from holding multiple seats. Additionally, fresh registration on the portal is compulsory; the system does not carry forward your data from previous Haryana counselling rounds, so you must re-enter all information and re-upload documents.
- Must have a valid NEET UG 2026 scorecard
- Must satisfy Haryana domicile requirements
- Must meet Haryana's category eligibility criteria
- Must not have already reported to a college in an earlier round
- Must complete fresh online registration on uhsrugcounselling.com
How to register for the Haryana Special Stray Round 2026
Registration is entirely online and must be completed on the official UHSR counselling portal at uhsrugcounselling.com. The process is straightforward but requires careful attention to detail and timely submission. Begin by visiting the portal and locating the Special Stray Round 2026 registration link. You will then be asked to enter your NEET UG 2026 roll number and personal details such as your name, date of birth, contact information, and category.

After filling in your personal information, you will need to upload required documents in the format specified in Notification 209. These typically include your NEET UG admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 certificates and marksheets, a Haryana domicile or residence certificate, a category certificate if applicable, and a valid photo identity proof such as an Aadhaar card. Once documents are uploaded, you must pay the counselling and security fee online. The portal accepts multiple payment modes including net banking, debit card, credit card, and UPI.

Documents you must have ready before registering
Preparing your documents in advance is crucial because the registration window is typically short and you cannot submit incomplete applications. Scan or photograph all required documents in the format specified by the portal (usually PDF or JPG) and keep them on your computer or phone so you can upload them quickly during registration. Do not wait until the last day to gather documents; delays in obtaining certificates or proofs can cause you to miss the deadline.
The documents required at the time of registration and later at reporting to your allotted college include your NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard (proof of qualification), Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates (proof of education), a Haryana domicile or residence certificate (proof of state eligibility), a category certificate if you are applying under a reserved category (proof of category status), and a valid photo identity proof such as an Aadhaar card, passport, or driving license. At the time of reporting to your allotted college, you will also need to present the allotment letter generated by the portal. Ensure all certificates are original or attested copies as per the college's requirements.

Key dates and deadlines you must track
Notification 209, issued on November 3, 2026, contains the complete schedule for the Special Stray Round, including the registration window, choice-filling deadline, seat allotment date, and reporting deadline. The exact dates are specified in that notification, which you must download and read in full from the uhsrugcounselling.com portal. Do not rely on unofficial sources or assume dates; always verify on the official portal.
Stray rounds typically operate on a compressed timeline because they are the final round before the counselling process closes. This means the registration window may be only a few days long, choice filling may have a tight deadline, and reporting to your allotted college may need to happen within days of allotment. Missing any deadline—registration, choice filling, or reporting—can result in forfeiture of your seat. Set reminders on your phone or calendar for each key date and plan to complete each step well before the deadline, not on the last day.

What happens after you register and lock your choices?
After the choice-filling deadline passes, UHSR will process all registrations and generate a seat allotment list based on your NEET UG rank, your choices, the availability of seats, and Haryana's reservation policy. You will be able to view your allotment result on the portal using your login credentials. The allotment letter will specify the college, course (MBBS or BDS), and category under which you have been allotted a seat.
Once you receive your allotment, you must report to the allotted college within the deadline specified in the notification. Reporting involves visiting the college in person, submitting your original documents, paying the admission fee, and completing any additional formalities required by the college. If you do not report within the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. There is typically no extension for reporting, so plan your travel and document submission accordingly.

Colleges and seats covered in this round
The Special Stray Round covers both government and private medical and dental colleges in Haryana that have vacant MBBS and BDS seats. The exact list of colleges, the number of vacant seats in each, and the category-wise breakdown (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.) are provided in the seat matrix, which is published on the uhsrugcounselling.com portal. You should review the seat matrix carefully before filling your choices to understand which colleges have seats available and in which categories.
Government colleges in Haryana typically have lower fees and higher prestige but fewer total seats. Private colleges have more seats but charge significantly higher fees. Both types are included in this round. When filling your choices, rank colleges in order of your preference, keeping in mind both the college's reputation and your financial capacity. Remember that your rank in NEET UG and the number of candidates ahead of you in your category will determine whether you are allotted a seat in your preferred college or a lower-ranked choice.

Why this is your final opportunity and what to do next
After the Special Stray Round concludes and all reporting deadlines pass, no further counselling will be held in Haryana for MBBS and BDS seats in the 2026–27 academic year. Any seats that remain vacant after this round are forfeited and will not be filled through counselling. This means if you do not secure a seat in this round, your only options would be to pursue medical education outside Haryana, apply for a different course, or wait for the next year's NEET UG examination.
To maximize your chances, start preparing now. Read Notification 209 in full and understand all requirements and deadlines. Gather and scan all required documents in the correct format. Arrange the counselling fee in a payment-ready mode (ensure your bank account or payment method has sufficient balance). On the registration opening date, log in early and complete your registration without delay. Fill your choices thoughtfully, ranking colleges based on both your preference and realistic chances of allotment given your NEET UG rank. Lock your choices before the deadline. Once you receive your allotment, report to the college immediately to secure your seat.

Do I need to register again if I already registered in an earlier Haryana counselling round?

The seat matrix showing all colleges, the number of vacant seats in each, and the category-wise breakdown is published on the official portal uhsrugcounselling.com. You must review it before filling your choices to understand which colleges have seats available in your category.
What should I do if I miss the registration deadline?
