Who Can Apply for Himachal Pradesh MBBS and BDS Stray Counselling?
The AMRU notification announces fresh online counselling applications for the second stray vacancy round. It does not separately list candidate-level eligibility exclusions, registration fees or refundable security-deposit amounts. Students should therefore read the applicable MBBS/BDS 2026-27 counselling prospectus and updated AMRU instructions before applying. NEET UG qualification, documentary eligibility and any restrictions associated with earlier allotments must be assessed against the official rules, not assumed from the timetable alone.
How to Register and Fill Choices
Visit the AMRU official website and open its MBBS/BDS counselling notifications or the relevant registration link when available. Read the second stray round notice, prospectus and instructions. Complete the fresh online application with accurate personal, NEET UG and qualifying-examination details. Upload the documents requested by the portal and complete any applicable payment. Save the submitted form and payment acknowledgement. After the November 5 merit and vacancy publications, revisit the counselling dashboard on November 6 or 7 to select and lock your preferred course, college and quota.
How to Check the HP NEET UG 2nd Stray Allotment
On November 9, check the official AMRU website for the second stray seat allocation list. Match your details with the published result and follow any instructions for downloading the allotment letter or completing online formalities. Candidates who receive seats should prepare original certificates, identity documents and proof of NEET UG eligibility for admission verification. The published schedule provides November 10 and 11 as the joining dates; follow the specific allotted institution’s instructions for reporting.
Important Advice for Applicants
The university says changes to the counselling schedule and any subsequent rounds will be posted on its official website. Consequently, students should monitor AMRU notices daily instead of relying only on social-media posts. The November 5 deadline is for fresh applications, not choice locking; the choice window is November 6–7. Applicants should check the actual vacancy list before prioritising colleges, as the November 3 schedule does not disclose the number of available MBBS or BDS seats. Do not treat publication of a merit list as a confirmed seat allocation.
Applicants should keep their NEET UG 2026 details, identification and relevant academic certificates ready while checking the AMRU counselling dashboard. The official November 3 notice contains dates only; it does not publish a college-wise vacancy count or specify fee amounts. Candidates should use the vacancy position published on November 5 to identify available MBBS and BDS options. Course and college preferences must be submitted within the November 6–7 window, and a provisional allocation must be followed by timely joining at the allotted institution.
