The Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC) has opened registration for an Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round as part of the 2026 NEET UG counselling process. This additional round offers a second chance to qualified candidates who remain unallotted after the initial Special Stray Vacancy Round. Eligible Tripura domicile candidates can now register online to compete for remaining MBBS and BDS seats across the state. This is your final opportunity to secure a medical seat through the 2026 counselling cycle.
Tripura NEET UG candidates who missed earlier stray rounds can register for the Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round at trmcc.admissions.nic.in to fill remaining MBBS and BDS seats.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round?
The Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round is an additional counselling phase introduced after the initial Special Stray Vacancy Round concludes. It exists specifically to fill MBBS and BDS seats that remain vacant even after multiple rounds of allotment and candidate reporting. This round gives unallotted candidates—those who either did not participate in earlier rounds or were not selected—a final opportunity to secure admission.
The TRMCC issued the notification for this extended round on November 11, 2026. Registration is now live on the official portal. This round is particularly important because seats left unfilled after this phase may remain vacant for the entire academic year, making it the last realistic chance for many aspirants to gain entry into a medical college in Tripura.
Who can apply for Tripura's extended stray round?
To participate in the Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round, you must meet specific eligibility criteria set by TRMCC. First, you must have qualified the NEET UG 2026 examination—your score must meet the minimum cutoff established by the committee. Second, you must hold bona fide Tripura domicile status, which means you must satisfy the state's residency requirements as defined in official guidelines.
Additionally, if you already hold an allotted seat from any previous counselling round, you cannot participate in this extended round unless you formally resign from that seat before the registration deadline. The committee requires fresh registration for this phase; your data from earlier rounds does not automatically carry forward. This means you must re-enter your details, fill choices afresh, and complete the payment process independently.
- Must have qualified NEET UG 2026
- Must hold valid Tripura domicile status
- Cannot hold an active allotted seat from a previous round
- Must complete fresh registration (earlier data does not transfer)
How to register for the extended stray round online
Registration for the Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round is entirely online through the TRMCC portal. The process is straightforward but requires careful attention to detail. Begin by visiting the official TRMCC counselling website at trmcc.admissions.nic.in and locating the link for the Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round registration.
Once you access the registration portal, you will need to enter your NEET UG 2026 roll number and other basic personal details as requested. After submitting your information, you must pay the counselling fee through the secure online payment gateway provided on the portal. Keep your payment receipt safe for your records. Next, you will fill in your college and course preferences—select your choices carefully and in order of preference, then lock them. Finally, download and save your confirmation page, which serves as proof of your registration.

Important dates and deadlines for this round
The Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round operates on a compressed timeline. The TRMCC released the notification on November 11, 2026, and registration opened immediately thereafter. You must check the official notification PDF on the TRMCC website for the exact registration deadline, choice-filling window, and allotment result date, as these timelines are critical and non-negotiable.
For context, the initial Special Stray Vacancy Round (which preceded this extended round) ran from November 4 to November 9, 2026, with allotment results released on November 10. Document collection and joining deadlines followed shortly after. The extended round operates on a similar but separate schedule. Missing any deadline—whether for registration, choice filling, or reporting—will result in forfeiture of your seat and disqualification from further counselling.
- Notification released: November 11, 2026
- Registration mode: Online only at trmcc.admissions.nic.in
- Check the official notification PDF for exact registration, choice-filling, and allotment dates

Documents you need before registering
Before you begin the registration process, gather all required documents and information. You will need your NEET UG 2026 scorecard or admit card, which contains your roll number and score. You must also have proof of Tripura domicile—this typically includes a domicile certificate issued by the appropriate state authority or other government-recognized documents that establish your residency.
Additionally, keep a valid government-issued photo ID such as your Aadhaar card, passport, or voter ID readily available. Have your bank account details or payment method ready for the counselling fee. If you have already been allotted a seat in an earlier round and wish to participate in this extended round, ensure you have formally resigned from that seat and have documentation of your resignation. Organize these documents digitally or in hard copy before you log in to register, so you can complete the process without interruption.
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard or admit card
- Tripura domicile certificate or proof of residency
- Valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, voter ID)
- Bank account or payment method for counselling fee
- Resignation letter (if you held a previous allotted seat)
Vacant seats available in this round
The Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round fills MBBS and BDS seats that remain vacant after the initial Special Stray Vacancy Round. The exact number and distribution of vacant seats across colleges and courses are detailed in the Revised Seat Matrix, which TRMCC released on November 7, 2026. This matrix is essential reading—it shows you precisely which colleges have vacancies, how many seats are available in each course, and which seats are reserved for different categories.
The number of vacant seats in this extended round is typically smaller than in earlier rounds, as many seats will have been filled already. However, this also means competition may be less intense. Review the seat matrix carefully to identify colleges and courses where you have a realistic chance of selection based on your NEET UG score and category. Remember that seat availability can vary significantly between MBBS and BDS, and between different colleges across Tripura.

What happens after you register and fill choices?
Once you complete registration and lock your choices, the TRMCC will process all applications and generate an allotment result. The allotment is based on your NEET UG score, your category, the choices you filled in order of preference, and the availability of seats. The committee will match your preferences with available seats using a merit-based algorithm, attempting to assign you the highest-ranked college and course from your list for which you are eligible.
After the allotment result is published, you will receive instructions on how to report to your allotted college. Reporting typically involves submitting original documents, paying admission fees, and completing formalities within a specified deadline. If you do not report within the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate. If you are not allotted a seat in this extended round, you will not be eligible for further counselling in 2026, and you may need to consider other options such as private colleges or preparing for the next year's NEET examination.
- Allotment is merit-based and preference-driven
- Result will be published on the TRMCC portal
- Reporting instructions will follow the allotment result
- You must report within the specified deadline to confirm your seat
- Non-reporting results in seat cancellation

Why this extended round matters for your medical career
The Extended Special Stray Vacancy Round represents your final opportunity to secure a medical seat through the 2026 NEET UG counselling process in Tripura. If you have remained unallotted through earlier rounds, this is not a consolation—it is a genuine second chance. Many candidates miss earlier rounds due to lack of awareness, technical issues, or strategic waiting. This extended round levels the playing field by giving them access to remaining seats.
Securing a seat in this round, even if it is not your first-choice college, is significantly better than remaining unallotted. An MBBS or BDS degree from any recognized medical college in Tripura opens doors to a medical career, postgraduate studies, and professional opportunities. If you do not secure a seat now, your only options are private medical colleges (which charge substantially higher fees), pursuing medicine outside India, or preparing to retake NEET UG next year—all of which involve considerable time, money, and uncertainty.
- This is the final counselling phase for 2026 NEET UG in Tripura
- Remaining unallotted means limited options: private colleges, foreign education, or retaking NEET
- Any allotted seat is better than no seat, even if not your first choice
- Securing admission now allows you to begin your medical education on schedule
