Important Reminders
This is an eligible candidates list only — it does NOT mean you have been allotted a seat. Allotment will happen only after you register, submit your choices, and the final merit-based allocation is completed by DME.

What does it mean if my name is on the eligible candidates list?
It means you meet the basic eligibility criteria to participate in the Special Stray Vacancy Round of counselling. However, it does NOT guarantee a seat — you must still register, submit your college choices, and compete in the merit-based allotment process.
What should I do if my name is not on the list?
If your name does not appear, you are not eligible for the Special Stray Vacancy Round. You may contact the DME helpline or visit the counselling office in person to clarify your status, but typically no further action is possible in this round.
When will the registration window for the Special Stray Vacancy Round open?
The eligible candidates list does not specify the registration dates. You must wait for the next official notification from DME MP, which will announce the exact registration window, deadlines, and instructions for submitting your choices.
Can I participate in the Special Stray Vacancy Round if I was allotted a seat in an earlier round?
The notice does not specify this. Typically, candidates who have already accepted a seat in an earlier round cannot participate in stray vacancy rounds, but you should confirm this with the DME helpline or check the full counselling guidelines.
Is the Special Stray Vacancy Round only for MBBS, or does it include BDS too?
The eligible candidates list covers both MBBS and BDS courses. Seats in both courses may be available in this round, depending on vacancies in individual colleges.

The eligible candidates list does not detail the required documents. You will receive this information in the next notification.
