CENTAC NEET 2024 Counselling Special Stray Round Registration Ends Today

The CENTAC NEET 2024 counselling Special Stray round registration process is ending today, December 3, 2024, 5 PM. Originally, the last date to register was December 2, 2024. This round of CENTAC NEET counselling is being conducted to fill up the vacant seats of MBBS and BAMS courses.

Announcing the MBBS vacancy, CENTAC Puducherry has stated, “Based on discharge proceedings carried out by Health Dept. against the candidates who have reportedly furnished Fake NRI certificates, 1 candidate has been recommended for discharge from Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry (SMVMCH). Accordingly, Special Stray Round Registration for one vacancy mentioned above is open under Management Quota as NRI Quota Merit list has already been exhausted during Stray Round.”

For the BAMS courses, there are three seats under the Government Quota and seven seats under the Self Supporting Quota. Since the Ministry of AYUSH has announced the reduction of the NEET UG 2024 cutoff for AYUSH courses by 15 percentile in each category, fresh registrations are invited for candidates willing to take admission to BAMS courses in Rajiv Gandhi Government Ayurveda College, Mahe in the UT of Puducherry for the vacancies after Stray Round.

“Unfilled seats in BAMS Government Quota will be converted to BAMS Self-Supporting Quota seats in this round. Candidates who have already applied for Government Quota may now opt for Self Supporting Quota but will be considered for allotment after exhausting the existing merit list,” stated CENTAC.
