Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), Dehradun, has released the schedule for Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 Special Stray Vacancy Round 2 for MBBS admissions. The university has arranged online confirmation and re-registration-related payment on November 14–15, followed by compulsory in-person document verification and manual seat allotment on November 16, 2026. This is not a routine online choice-filling allotment: candidates must appear personally at the designated university venue with their original documents. The published timetable applies to eligible candidates who were registered in earlier rounds and meet the conditions specified by the counselling board.
Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 Special Stray Round 2: Official Schedule
| Activity | Date and time |
|---|---|
| Online participation confirmation and re-registration fee payment | November 14–15, 2026, until 5:00 PM (server time) |
| Publication of merit list | November 15, 2026, after 8:00 PM |
| In-person reporting and original-document verification | November 16, 2026, 10:00 AM–12:30 PM |
| Manual seat allotment by counselling board | November 16, 2026, from 2:00 PM |
| Provisional admission at college counter at counselling venue | November 16, 2026 |
| Completion of remaining college admission formalities | November 16, 2026 |
The online confirmation and payment window closes at 5 PM on November 15, while the merit list is scheduled for publication later that day. Shortlisted or participating candidates should plan their travel carefully: document verification runs only from 10 AM to 12:30 PM on November 16, before the counselling board begins manual allotment at 2 PM. The notice also places provisional admission and the completion of other admission formalities on November 16 itself. It does not announce any additional reporting day.
Who Can Participate in Special Stray Vacancy Round 2?
The notice invites online confirmation of participation from previously registered eligible candidates who are not holding a seat allotted through MCC counselling, another state counselling process or Uttarakhand state counselling. It also explicitly excludes candidates who received an allotment in Round 3, the Stray Vacancy Round or the earlier Special Stray Vacancy Round but did not join that allotted seat. Candidates should check their full allotment and admission history before paying any fee or confirming participation. Merely being NEET UG qualified does not establish eligibility for this particular late-stage round. The detailed counselling instructions on the university website remain authoritative for any other applicable conditions.
Offline Counselling Venue and Document Verification
All eligible online-registered participants must report in person to Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University, New Central Hope Town, Bhayakhala, Seshambara, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The notice specifically requires personal attendance and all necessary original documents on November 16. Candidates should carry their NEET UG records, counselling registration and payment proofs, identity documents and relevant eligibility or category certificates, together with any additional documents named in the university’s detailed instructions. This is a practical preparation checklist, not a substitute for the official mandatory document list. Candidates who cannot produce the required originals should not assume their admission can be completed.
How Will Manual MBBS Seat Allotment Work?
Unlike a completely online allotment process, the counselling board will conduct seat allocation physically at the counselling venue from 2 PM on November 16. The published merit list will be available after 8 PM on November 15, giving candidates an opportunity to review their listed details before reporting. Candidates should consult the latest university instructions for seat availability, merit order, payment requirements and how preferences will be recorded during the manual session. The uploaded schedule does not specify a number of vacant MBBS seats, individual college names, a fresh online choice-filling window or guaranteed admission for every attendee. Do not treat a provisional selection as final until the required college admission steps are completed.
Admission Formalities Must Be Completed on November 16
The notice provides for provisional admission at the concerned college counter established at the counselling venue on November 16. It also identifies the same day as the last date for completing remaining college-level admission formalities. Candidates should therefore arrange access to their original certificates, valid fee-payment arrangements and any supporting records prescribed by the authorities before they travel. Follow the directions given at the university and the allotted college counter, and obtain acknowledgment of any submitted documents and payments. The notice does not state a fixed registration fee amount or a course-wise tuition fee; applicants should check the current counselling instructions rather than relying on figures from an earlier round.
How to Check the Schedule and Participate Online
Visit the official HNBUMU website or its Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 counselling portal. Open the Special Stray Vacancy Round 2 instructions and examine the eligibility restrictions before using the existing candidate login to confirm participation and complete the applicable re-registration fee process. Finish the online stage by November 15 at 5 PM, check the merit list after 8 PM, and keep the necessary acknowledgments. On November 16, arrive at the Dehradun venue in time for the 10 AM–12:30 PM verification session. Check the official portal again before travelling because HNBUMU says updated instructions will be uploaded online and no individual intimation will be sent.
