Unlock My College ListWhat is the 2nd Stray Round and Why Does It Matter?
A stray round is a counselling phase that fills seats left unfilled after all regular rounds of seat allocation. In Himachal Pradesh's MBBS and BDS admission process, the 2nd stray round is typically one of the final opportunities to secure a medical or dental seat for the academic year. This round required fresh online applications—candidates who participated in earlier rounds had to apply again to be considered.
The 2nd stray round is significant because it often contains seats from colleges across different quotas: state quota (HP), management quota, and NRI quota. For many aspirants, especially those who narrowly missed seats in earlier rounds or improved their choice strategy, this round offers a realistic chance at admission. However, seats not filled even after this round may be cancelled or held for future processes.

All candidates who received an allotment must report to their assigned college by November 12, 2026. This is a hard deadline; reporting after this date will result in automatic cancellation of your seat. The university will not grant extensions, so plan your travel and document arrangement well in advance. If you are unable to report due to an emergency, contact AMRU immediately at the provided contact details, though exceptions are rarely granted.
Reporting means physically visiting your allotted college with all required original documents and completing the verification process. Simply downloading the allotment letter is not enough; you must be present at the college on or before the deadline. After the reporting deadline closes, AMRU may release a fresh list of vacant seats, and any seats not joined will be considered for cancellation or future allocation rounds.
Essential Documents You Must Carry to College
When you report to your allotted college, bring both original documents and photocopies of each. The NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard are mandatory and must be presented for verification. Beyond these, the specific certificates required depend on your eligibility category and the college's requirements, which are detailed in the official MBBS and BDS counselling prospectus 2026.
Common documents include your 10th and 12th mark sheets, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate, and any other certificates mentioned in the prospectus. Verify the complete list in the prospectus before leaving for the college; missing even one document can lead to rejection and cancellation of your allotted seat. Photocopies should be attested by a gazetted officer or notary if required by the college.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card (original)
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard (original)
- 10th and 12th mark sheets
- Caste certificate (if applicable)
- Domicile certificate
- Medical fitness certificate
- Photocopies of all documents
- Fee payment proof (as per prospectus)
Fee Payment and Seat Confirmation Process
Along with document verification, you will be required to pay the admission fee as specified in the counselling prospectus. The fee structure varies depending on whether you are admitted under the state quota, management quota, or NRI quota. Keep the fee amount ready before you report; most colleges accept payment via bank transfer, demand draft, or online modes. Ensure you obtain a receipt and keep it safely.
After fee payment and document verification, your seat will be confirmed, and you will receive an admission letter. This letter is your proof of admission and must be retained throughout your course. Some colleges may also require you to sign an undertaking or agreement form. Complete all formalities on the day of reporting itself to avoid complications.

The university may then release a revised vacancy list and conduct additional rounds if needed, or it may declare those seats as cancelled for the year, depending on state regulations and institutional policy.
Monitor the AMRU website regularly after the reporting deadline for any announcements regarding vacant seats or further rounds. Some seats may be reallocated through special rounds or held for future admission cycles. If you did not receive an allotment in the 2nd stray round, watch for notifications about any subsequent rounds that may be conducted.
