NEET PG

The NEET PG Special Stray Round Vacancy has the following important dates: Registration and payment: March 6 to March 8, 2025 (until 11:00 AM, payment until 2:00 PM on March 8), Choice filling and locking: March 6 to March 10, 2025 (until 8:00 AM), Seat allotment processing: March 10 and 11, 2025, Result declaration: March 12, 2025, and Reporting to allotted colleges: March 13 to March 20, 2025. 

The special stray round for NEET PG 2024, after the percentile reduction in February 2025, is usually conducted in early March. Registration typically opens in the first week of March, followed by choice filling, seat allotment results, and reporting to colleges within a two-week window. Keep an eye on official announcements to stay updated and apply on time.

The NEET PG 2025 internship completion deadline is July 31, 2025. Candidates must complete their 12-month internship by this date to be eligible for the exam on August 3, 2025.

Since General Surgery field is a highly demanded branch, so with this rank, it would be difficult to get good colleges even in stray vacancy round. With this rank, the student can expect few private or deemed to be universities, but they too demand little higher ranks and higher fees. The other option is NRI Quota or Management Quota. But then it would become too expensive to take admission in any college. So as per my knowledge, you can re-attempt for NEET PG next year.

There are about 500+ NEET accepting MD colleges in India. Some of them are mentioned below along with their tuition fees:

To participate in the stray vacay round of NEET, students need to register themselves in All India Quota (AIQ) for government seats, for which they have to pay a refundable security deposit amount of INR 50,000. In case the students are applying for 'deemed to be universities', the amount increases to INR 3,00,000. If the students do not join the seat alloted to them in stray vacay round, the security amount will be forfeited, i.e. the security amount will not be refunded to them.

If you are not willing to participate in special stray round of NEET PG 2025, your security deposit for deemed University will be forfeited and you will not be eligible for NEET PG exam in the following year.
