However, those who vacate the seat after 3:00 PM on 13 January 2025 will not be eligible to participate in the 3rd phase allotment and further rounds (options, if any, registered by such candidates for the third phase allotment will be cancelled). This will be the cut-off date for relinquishing admission, without incurring any penalty. Candidates who have vacated the joined seats shall have to pay the option registration fee afresh. If any candidate does not join the seat allotted in phase 3, the option registration fee will be forfeited and such candidates cannot participate in further allotments.

Those candidates who vacate the allotted seat, after the cut-off date specified above, will not be considered for further rounds of counselling and a penalty will be initiated as per the Prospectus conditions. This condition is applicable to all the candidates who get admitted to a college based on an allotment in any of the phases (before or after the cut-off date) but the quitting of the seat takes place after the cut-off date.
STRAY VACANCY FILLING PHASE
After the 3rd Phase allotment, if any vacancies exist or arise, those vacancies shall be filled through Stray vacancy allotment. There will be fresh option registration forthe Stray Vacancy filling phase. If vacancies exist even after an initial stray vacancy allotment and if there is sufficient time before the cut-off date for admissions prescribed by the National Medical Commission (NMC), additional stray vacancy allotments may be conducted based on the options registered for the Stray vacancy filling round.
