The Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC) has announced the schedule for the Stray Vacancy Round of NEET UG 2026 counselling. This is the final opportunity for qualified NEET aspirants to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in Tripura through the state quota. The stray round fills seats that remained vacant after the first three counselling rounds. If you are a Tripura domicile candidate who did not secure a seat earlier, this round is your last chance to get admission to a medical or dental college in the state.
Tripura's stray vacancy round is the final counselling phase for NEET UG 2026; eligible domicile candidates must register and fill preferences on trmcc.admissions.nic.in before the deadline to avoid losing their chance at an MBBS or BDS seat.

The stray vacancy round is Tripura's last counselling phase for NEET UG 2026. It allocates MBBS and BDS seats that were not filled during the first three rounds of counselling. Only candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 and hold Tripura domicile status are eligible to participate.
If you did not receive a seat in earlier rounds, you can register again in the stray round. However, if you were allotted a seat in a previous round but did not join the college, you may face restrictions. The round operates under the 85 percent state quota, meaning seats are reserved for Tripura residents. Before registering, carefully read the official notification on the TRMCC portal to understand all eligibility conditions and any restrictions that may apply to your situation.

Any seats that remain unfilled after this round will not be allocated through further state-level counselling. These seats may be surrendered to the central counselling authority or remain vacant.
If you do not secure a seat in the stray round, your options become limited. You may be eligible for central counselling (if applicable) or may need to consider medical colleges in other states. Some candidates also explore private medical colleges outside Tripura or consider taking a gap year to reappear for NEET UG in the following year. Discuss your options with your parents and counsellor if you do not get a seat in this final round.
