Haryana's Directorate of Medical Education and Research has released the schedule for the stray round of NEET UG counselling 2026, the final opportunity to secure vacant MBBS and BDS seats in the state. This round fills all remaining positions across government, government-aided, and private medical and dental colleges in Haryana. If you qualified NEET UG 2026 but did not secure a seat in earlier counselling rounds, this is your last chance for the 2026–27 academic year.
