Unlock My College ListWhat is the Special Stray Vacancy Round in Kerala NEET UG Counselling?
The special stray vacancy round is a final phase of seat allocation in Kerala's NEET UG counselling process. It is designed to fill any remaining MBBS and BDS seats that were not filled during the main counselling rounds. This round gives candidates who were not allotted seats earlier, or who wish to upgrade their college or course, another opportunity to secure admission.
The stray vacancy round operates on the basis of options registered by candidates during this specific phase. It is not a separate application process—only those who registered their preferences for this round are considered for allotment. After the special stray vacancy round, if seats remain unfilled, a second phase of special stray vacancy filling may be conducted using the same registered options.

You will need this document to report to your college and to complete admission formalities.

What Information Will Your Allotment Memo Contain?
Your allotment memo is your official admission document and proof of seat allocation. It will display your personal details (name, roll number), the course you have been allotted (MBBS or BDS), the name and location of your allotted college, and the category under which you were allotted (general, reserved, or other). This information is final and cannot be changed after allotment.
The memo also specifies the exact fee amount you must pay, the college's bank details or payment portal, and any other financial obligations. Some colleges may charge additional fees for hostel, uniforms, or other facilities—clarify these with the college directly. Keep your memo safe throughout your admission process, as you will need to present it during college reporting and document verification.
- Your name and NEET roll number
- Allotted course (MBBS or BDS)
- Allotted college name and address
- Category of allotment
- Fee details and payment instructions
- Reporting date and time
What Happens if You Don't Join by the Deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college by 2:00 PM on November 12, 2026, your seat will be cancelled immediately. You will not be considered for any further rounds of counselling, and your registration fee will be forfeited—it will not be refunded under any circumstances. This is a strict rule with no exceptions.
After candidates who do not join are removed, any remaining vacant seats will be filled through a second phase of special stray vacancy filling. This second phase will use the options you registered during the special stray vacancy round. If you wish to participate in the second phase, you must ensure your options are correctly registered; however, your chances of getting a seat depend on the number of vacancies available and your rank.
- Seat cancellation is automatic if you miss the deadline
- Registration fee is forfeited and not refunded
- You lose eligibility for further counselling rounds
- Remaining vacancies will be filled in the second phase of special stray vacancy

Third, arrange the funds and make the payment as instructed by the college. Fourth, plan your travel to the college and ensure you have all required documents ready.
Do not assume that your allotment is final until you have physically reported to the college and completed the joining formalities. Some colleges may conduct a document verification process or require you to sign admission forms on the day of reporting. Carry your allotment memo, NEET admit card, mark sheet, category certificate (if applicable), and any other documents the college has requested.

What if You Were Not Allotted a Seat in This Round?
If your name does not appear in the allotment result, it means you were not allotted a seat in the special stray vacancy round. This could happen if there were no vacancies matching your registered options, or if your rank was not sufficient to secure a seat. However, you may still have a chance in the second phase of special stray vacancy filling if vacancies arise after candidates who were allotted seats fail to join.
Check the CEE Kerala website regularly for announcements about the second phase. If it is conducted, it will use the options you registered during the special stray vacancy round. Ensure your options are correctly registered and that you monitor the portal for any updates. If no second phase is conducted or you are not allotted in that phase either, your NEET UG counselling for 2026 will be complete.
- Check the allotment result carefully using your application number
- If not allotted, wait for announcements about the second phase of special stray vacancy
- Ensure your options are correctly registered for the second phase
- Monitor the CEE Kerala portal for updates
Important Reminders for Kerala NEET UG Candidates
The special stray vacancy round is often the last opportunity to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in Kerala through NEET UG counselling. If you have been allotted a seat, treat the joining deadline as non-negotiable. Many candidates lose their seats every year simply because they miss the deadline or delay payment. Do not take this for granted.
If you have any doubts about your allotment, the fee amount, or the joining process, contact the CEE Kerala helpline or your allotted college directly. Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media for information. Always verify details from the official CEE Kerala website or your college's official communication.
- The joining deadline is final—no extensions are granted
- Registration fees are non-refundable if you do not join
- Always verify information from official sources only
- Contact CEE Kerala or your college for any clarifications
- Keep all documents and communications safe for future reference
