The Special Stray Round is a final counselling phase designed to fill any MBBS and BDS seats that remain vacant after the regular Stray Vacancy Round held in October 2026. Unlike earlier rounds, this round is restricted to a smaller pool of candidates and represents the absolute last window to secure admission under Tripura's 85 percent state quota.
Once this round concludes, any unfilled seats lapse for the academic year and are not carried forward. For Tripura domicile candidates who did not secure a seat in previous rounds, this is a make-or-break opportunity. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next admission cycle.
Who can apply for Tripura's Special Stray Round?
Eligibility for the Special Stray Round is strictly defined. You must be a domicile resident of Tripura, have qualified NEET UG 2026, and have registered with the Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC) for the 2026 counselling cycle. Additionally, you must not have been admitted and subsequently resigned from a seat in any previous round.
If you were allotted a seat in an earlier round and chose to accept it, you are ineligible for the Special Stray Round. The round is designed only for candidates who remain unplaced after all prior phases.

What happens after seat allotment?
Once the allotment result is declared, you will be informed of the college and course assigned to you based on your choices and merit rank. You must report to your allotted college within the deadline specified by TRMCC. Failure to report on time may result in cancellation of your allotment.
Upon reporting, you will undergo document verification and complete the admission formalities. This is when your original certificates, domicile proof, and other documents will be verified. Ensure all your documents are in order and that you report punctually.
Why this round is your final opportunity
After the Special Stray Round concludes, no further counselling rounds are conducted for NEET UG 2026 in Tripura. Any seats that remain vacant are not filled and are effectively lost for the academic year. This means if you do not secure a seat in this round, you will have to wait until the next NEET cycle to apply for admission in Tripura.
For many aspirants, this represents the difference between starting medical college in 2026–27 or delaying their education by a full year. The stakes are high, which is why careful planning and timely action are essential.

Am I eligible for the Special Stray Round if I was allotted a seat in an earlier round?
No. If you were allotted a seat in any previous round and accepted it, you are ineligible for the Special Stray Round. This round is only for candidates who remain unplaced after all prior phases. If you resigned from a previous allotment, you may be eligible—check the TRMCC brochure for exact conditions.

What happens if I miss the registration or choice-filling deadline?
If you miss the registration deadline, you cannot participate in the Special Stray Round. If you register but fail to lock your choices before the deadline, your registration may be cancelled or your choices may not be considered. Since this is the final round, missing any deadline means you will not secure a seat for 2026–27.
Can I change my choices after locking them?

What is the difference between the Stray Vacancy Round and the Special Stray Round?
The Stray Vacancy Round was held in October 2026 and was open to a broader pool of candidates.

After the Special Stray Round, no further counselling is conducted.
