The allotment result released on November 5 is provisional, meaning it is subject to verification and correction. If you notice any discrepancy—such as an incorrect name, wrong college assigned, incorrect course, or any other error—you must report it immediately to the MCC through the official Candidate Grievances and Query Redressal System available on the Candidate Login Portal.
The deadline to lodge a grievance is 11:00 AM on November 6, 2026. Do not delay; this is a strict cutoff. After MCC reviews all grievances submitted, the final allotment result will be released. Only after the final result is declared should you approach your allotted college for admission. Reporting to a college based on the provisional result alone may lead to complications.
- Log in to the Candidate Login Portal
- Access the 'Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System'
- Submit your grievance with clear details of the error
- Deadline: 11:00 AM on November 6, 2026

Once the final allotment result is released, you must report to your allotted college between November 7 and November 16, 2026. Reporting during this window is mandatory for all candidates allotted a seat in the special stray vacancy round. Failure to report within this period may result in forfeiture of your seat.
When you report to the college, you must bring all required original documents and photocopies. The college will verify your documents, collect the admission fee, and complete the admission formalities. Ensure you carry everything listed below; missing documents can delay or prevent your admission.
- Reporting window: November 7–16, 2026
- Reporting is mandatory for all allotted candidates

- Submit admission fee at the college
- Complete admission formalities on the same day if possible
Complete List of Documents Required for College Reporting

In addition to the standard documents listed below, your allotted college may require additional documents specific to their admission process. Check the college's website or contact them before reporting to confirm if any extra documents are needed.

What Happens If You Don't Report During the Specified Window?
Reporting to your allotted college within the November 7–16 window is not optional—it is a mandatory step to confirm your admission. If you do not report within this period, your seat will be considered vacant and may be offered to another candidate on the waiting list or in a subsequent round.
If you have a genuine reason for not being able to report on time (such as illness or an emergency), contact your allotted college immediately to explain your situation. Some colleges may grant a brief extension, but this is not guaranteed. It is always safer to report on time to avoid losing your seat.
Understanding the Stray Vacancy Round in the Broader Counselling Context
The stray vacancy round is the final opportunity in NEET UG counselling 2026 to secure a seat in an MBBS, BDS, or BSc Nursing programme. By this stage, most seats have been filled through earlier rounds (mop-up rounds and regular rounds). The seats available in this round are typically those that remained vacant due to candidates declining their allotment, not reporting, or other reasons.
If you are allotted a seat in this round, it is important to accept it and report on time. Waiting for another round or hoping for a better college is risky because there may not be another round after this, and you could end up without a seat. Conversely, if you are not allotted a seat in this round, you should explore alternative pathways such as private medical colleges, deemed universities, or counselling in other states.
