Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) has published the NEET UG 2026 Special Stray Vacancy Round seat matrix for MBBS and BDS admissions. The uploaded official matrix lists 37 vacant seats across five private medical and dental colleges in Uttarakhand: 31 MBBS and six BDS seats. Candidates should examine the college, course and quota carefully before submitting preferences. This is a vacancy list, not a seat-allotment result.

Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences has the largest share, with 20 MBBS vacancies. Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya follows with 10 MBBS seats.

Important Instructions for Candidates
The vacancy document states that reservations follow the Uttarakhand government order dated May 22, 2020 and the college-wise 100-point roster carried forward to the 2026–27 session. Its seat figures are based on information supplied by institutions and may increase or decrease following government approvals. It also mentions a Central Pool provision for spouses and children of terrorist victims applicable only to government colleges; no such government-college vacancy is shown among these five entries.
Allotment depends on eligibility, merit, available quota and properly submitted preferences. A vacant seat does not guarantee admission. Candidates should read subsequent HNBUMU notices for any changes to seat counts, conversion rules, counselling instructions or deadlines and verify the final allotment and reporting requirements before taking action.
