The committee took this step because the PG DNB institutes didn’t provide information about the candidates online. This delay affected the process of selecting preferences for the National Eligibility Entrance Test for Postgraduate counselling. In an official notice, MCC mentioned, “The Choice filling for Stray Vacancy Round was delayed since many PG DNB Institutes had not reported the candidates online. Hence, the competent authority has decided to extend the schedule for Stray Vacancy Round of PG Counselling 2023.”
Today, the payment facility for the stray vacancy round will be open until 7 pm. By 8 am tomorrow, candidates will be able to choose their preferences. Earlier, the choice-filling process concluded on October 11. Subsequently, the seat allocation results will be declared on October 15.
