MCC has opened a special stray vacancy round and a sixth round for NEET UG counselling, giving candidates without a seat fresh chances to register. Choice locking deadlines are tight, and reporting windows last only a few days, so applicants must act fast to avoid losing an allotment. The sixth round, starting mid-November, may serve as a final opportunity before the academic year closes.
