MCC has officially released the clear vacancy seat matrix for the Stray Vacancy Round of UG Counselling 2026. The official PDF, a 64-page document titled “Clear Vacancy Stray Vacancy Round (MBBS BDS B.Sc Nursing) – UG Counselling 2026,” lists every vacancy by institute, course, quota, and category. Eligible candidates can use it to review their options before submitting preferences.

The published course-wise total is 4,068 seats. MBBS accounts for the largest share, followed by BDS and BSc Nursing. Candidates should use the official PDF to check individual colleges and the exact quota or category attached to each vacancy.

Follow these steps to access the official vacancy list:
Candidates should shortlist colleges carefully rather than choosing a seat based only on its availability. Before locking preferences, review the course, institute, quota, category, fees, location, and admission conditions. Also confirm eligibility and the applicable MCC rules in the official information bulletin and current notices.
Do not assume that an unfilled seat guarantees admission. Allotment depends on the counselling rules, eligibility, choices submitted, and the final seat-allocation process. Candidates should rely on MCC notices for binding instructions about participation, joining, and consequences of not reporting.
Candidates who are allotted a seat must report to their college with the documents listed in the official MCC guidelines and their allotment letter. The exact requirements can vary by quota and category, but candidates should generally keep the following ready:
Carry all original documents along with the required number of photocopies. Before reporting, also confirm with the allotted institution whether it needs any extra forms or certificates, so there are no delays on the day of admission.
