The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) released its final seat matrix for the NEET UG 2025 counselling process. This announcement confirmed 1,232 MBBS seats remain vacant. These seats fall under the All India Quota (AIQ). The vacancies persist even after multiple seat additions and reductions. These changes affected various medical colleges across India.
Due to these recent seat adjustments, the MCC extended a key deadline. The choice filling and locking period for the NEET UG stray vacancy round is now prolonged. Candidates have until November 12, 11:55 PM , to submit and lock their preferred courses and colleges. This extension allows all eligible applicants sufficient time to review the updated seat availability.
Updated Seat Matrix Details
The final stray vacancy seat matrix provides a detailed overview of available positions. States showing the highest number of vacant MBBS seats include Maharashtra. Tamil Nadu also presents a substantial count of unfilled positions. Uttar Pradesh is another state with a considerable number of available MBBS seats. These figures are crucial for candidates making their final selections.
PwD Certificate Generation Deadline
The MCC also announced an extension for candidates applying under the Persons with Disability (PwD) quota. The deadline for generating PwD certificates through the official portal is now November 12, 5 PM . Applicants must visit MCC-designated disability centers. Certificate generation must strictly adhere to National Medical Commission (NMC) norms. This ensures compliance with regulatory standards for PwD admissions.
Revised Allotment and Registration Information
The declaration of NEET UG stray vacancy allotments now faces a delay. Allotments were originally scheduled for today. They will now be announced on a later, unspecified date. This revision directly stems from the extended choice filling and locking window. Candidates should monitor the MCC website for updates on the new allotment schedule.

For the current stray vacancy round, fresh registration is a mandatory requirement. Choice filling is also compulsory for all participants in this final counselling phase.
Applicants claiming Non-Resident Indian (NRI) status had a specific document submission deadline. They submitted relevant documents via email to ug.nri.mcc@gmail.com. This deadline was November 11, 2 PM . This step was crucial for verifying their eligibility under the NRI quota for the stray vacancy round.
Impact on State Counselling Schedules
The NEET UG counselling dates for several states have undergone revisions. These adjustments directly follow the changes implemented in the MCC schedule. State authorities are coordinating their timelines with the central counselling body. Final seat allotments under the respective state quotas will not be declared until after the MCC releases the NEET UG AIQ seat allotments.
