Unlock My College ListWhat Is the Stray Vacancy Round?
The Stray Vacancy Round is a counselling round held after the main and earlier rounds of seat allocation. It fills seats that have remained empty because candidates either did not accept their allotment, withdrew, or did not join on time. This round gives another chance to eligible candidates to secure a seat in MBBS or BDS.
This is Session 2 of the 2026–27 academic year counselling. The allotment released on 22 October 2026 is provisional, meaning it is subject to verification of your documents and eligibility. Your seat is not final until you complete the joining process and your documents are verified by the college.
How to Check If You Are Allotted
The allotment list is a table showing candidates' registration numbers, NEET roll numbers, NEET ranks, names, fathers' names, allotted colleges, allotted courses (MBBS or BDS), allotted quotas, allotted categories, and status. The list spans 6 pages and includes approximately 50 candidates.
To find yourself: (1) Locate your NEET roll number or registration number in the list. (2) Check the columns for your allotted college, course, and quota. (3) Verify that your name and father's name match exactly. If you find your entry marked 'New Allotted' in the Status column, you have been provisionally allotted a seat.
- Search by your NEET roll number (10-digit number starting with your state code)
- Verify your name, father's name, and NEET rank match the list
- Note your allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), and quota type
- Check the 'Allotted Category' column for your category (Open, Scheduled Caste, etc.)
Understanding Your Allotment Details
Each allotted candidate receives several key pieces of information. Your allotted college is the institution where you have been offered a seat. Your allotted course is either M.B.B.S. (5.5-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) or B.D.S (3-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery). Your allotted quota tells you which category of seat you have been given—for example, Government Quota (filled by the state), Management Quota (filled by the college), or Open Quota (available to all eligible candidates).
The 'Allotted Category' column shows your personal category for reservation purposes, such as Open, Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Class (OBC), or special categories like Christian Minority or Defence. This is separate from the quota type and determines whether you received a reserved or unreserved seat.
- Allotted College: The medical or dental college where your seat is located
- Allotted Course: M.B.B.S. (5.5 years) or B.D.S (3 years)
- Allotted Quota: Government Quota, Management Quota, or Open Quota
- Allotted Category: Your personal category (Open, SC, ST, OBC, Christian Minority, Defence, etc.)
- Status: 'New Allotted' means this is your first allotment in this round

Quota Types Explained
Your allotted quota determines how your seat was filled and may affect your fees and eligibility for future rounds. Government Quota seats are filled by the state through its counselling process and are typically at government colleges or government-aided institutions. These seats usually have lower fees. Management Quota seats are filled directly by the college and are typically at private institutions; these seats usually have higher fees set by the college. Open Quota seats are available to all eligible candidates regardless of category and are filled based on merit and availability.
In this Stray Vacancy Round, the majority of allotments are under Management Quota, reflecting the availability of private college seats. A smaller number are under Government Quota at government institutions. Understanding your quota type is important because it affects your fee structure, your rights during the course, and whether you can participate in future counselling rounds if you choose to withdraw.
- Government Quota: Seats at government/government-aided colleges, lower fees, filled by state counselling
- Management Quota: Seats at private colleges, higher fees set by college, filled by college directly
- Open Quota: Available to all eligible candidates, filled based on merit and availability

What If You Are Not on the List?
If your name does not appear on the allotment list, it means you have not been allotted a seat in this Stray Vacancy Round. This could happen for several reasons: (1) your rank was not high enough to match any available seat, (2) you did not participate in this round, (3) you had already accepted a seat in an earlier round and did not withdraw, or (4) there were no seats available in your category or quota.
If you believe you should have been allotted, contact the BFUHS counselling helpline or visit the office in person with your NEET admit card and registration details. If you wish to participate in future rounds, ensure you are registered and active in the counselling portal. Some candidates may choose to withdraw from an earlier allotment to participate in the next round; check the portal for withdrawal options and deadlines.
- Check the list carefully using your NEET roll number
- If not found, contact BFUHS counselling office with your admit card
- Verify your registration and portal login status
- Ask about future rounds and withdrawal options if you have an earlier allotment
- Keep checking the portal for updates on additional rounds
Common Mistakes That Can Cost You Your Seat
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable mistakes. The most common is not accepting the allotment within the deadline. Even if you are allotted, your seat is not confirmed until you formally accept it on the portal. If you miss the acceptance deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
Another critical mistake is not joining the college by the deadline. Allotment is provisional and becomes final only after you report to the college, complete document verification, and are formally admitted. If you do not join by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled. Additionally, bringing incomplete or incorrect documents can delay your admission or result in rejection. Ensure all documents are original, photocopies are clear, and certificates are issued by authorized bodies. Finally, do not assume you know the joining date or requirements—always contact your allotted college directly to confirm all details.
- ⚠️ Not accepting allotment on portal within deadline = seat cancelled
- ⚠️ Not joining college by deadline = seat cancelled
- ⚠️ Bringing incomplete or incorrect documents = admission delayed or rejected
- ⚠️ Not verifying category certificate details = eligibility questioned
- ⚠️ Assuming joining date without confirming with college = missing deadline
- ⚠️ Not bringing original documents = verification failed
How to Contact Your Allotted College
Once you know your allotted college, contact it immediately to confirm the joining date, time, and location. Each college has its own admission office and may have specific requirements or procedures. Do not rely solely on the BFUHS portal; colleges often send separate instructions or hold orientation sessions for newly admitted students.
Search for your college's official website or phone number and call the admission office. Ask for the exact joining date, the list of required documents, the fee structure, hostel availability, and any other details you need. If possible, visit the college in person to complete formalities faster. Keep all communication records and confirmations for your reference.
