# MP NEET counselling 2026: DME announces special stray vacancy round 2026-11-09T09:57:09+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Madhya Pradesh Directorate of Medical Education has published the schedule for a Special Stray Vacancy Round under the state’s NEET UG counselling 2026 for MBBS and BDS seats. The round begins on 11 November with the release of remaining vacancies and the list of eligible candidates. Eligible students can apply and fill choices from 2:00 PM on 11 November to 11:59 PM on 12 November. The portal will show a real-time college-wise merit list. Physical reporting at the selected college for online attendance is scheduled for 13 November from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Admissions based on attendance-cum-merit will be held on 16 November between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The schedule leaves only two days for application and choice-filling, compressing time for candidates already waiting after multiple rounds. The admission on 16 November is conditioned on both attendance and merit, meaning physical presence at a college on 13 November is as important as the rank. Candidates who do not report in person lose their chance, even if their merit is high. The outcome will be known by the close of 16 November, when all seats from this round are either filled or left vacant. ## Coverage - medicaldialogues.in Leads with schedule details, no government accountability angle This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
