Unlock My College ListWhat is the Kerala NEET UG 2026 stray round and why does it matter?
The stray round is the final phase of counselling for NEET UG admissions in Kerala. It fills MBBS and BDS seats that remained vacant after the main and earlier counselling rounds. These include state quota seats in government medical and dental colleges, as well as state pool seats in self-financing institutions.
This round is critical because it is the last opportunity for candidates to secure a medical or dental seat under Kerala's admission process. Once the stray round concludes, any remaining vacant seats will not be filled through further counselling by CEE Kerala. For many aspirants, this represents a final chance to gain admission to an MBBS or BDS programme in the state.
