NEET UG Councelling 2025 Stray Vacancy: Choice Filling LIVE Now at mcc.nic.in — Lock Your Dream Seat by Nov 9

Registered candidates can submit and lock their preferences on the official portal mcc.nic.in. This stray vacancy phase is time-sensitive: the window runs until November 9, 2025, with choice-locking active from 4:00 PM to 11:55 PM on the final day.
Who should apply
The stray vacancy round is aimed at:
- Candidates who remained unallotted after earlier MCC rounds.
