Conclusion

NEET PG 2026 Deemed University counselling will be conducted online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under DGHS. The Stray Vacancy Round plays a crucial role for candidates who miss earlier rounds or are looking for an upgrade opportunity. Based on previous round trends and expected closing ranks:

Highly competitive branches like MD Radio-Diagnosis, MD Dermatology, and MD General Medicine continue to close at lower ranks in top deemed institutes.
Mid-tier clinical branches such as Paediatrics, OBG, Orthopaedics, and General Surgery show moderate movement in stray rounds depending on vacancy.
Para-clinical and pre-clinical branches (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Forensic Medicine) typically close at much higher ranks, offering opportunities for candidates with comparatively lower ranks.
Fee structure significantly varies across institutes, and financial planning is equally important while making choices.
