Hello,

The stray vacancy round is conducted for the vacant seats after the mop up round. In the counselling process Round 1, Round 2 and Mop-Up Round is conducted online by MCC. However, the Stray Vacancy round is conducted by the respective Deemed/Central Universities/Central Institutes/AIIMS/JIPMER for which the list of registered & eligible candidates for the Stray Vacancy round is forwarded by the MCC to the respective universities. As per the rules of the authority, all the registered candidates can participate in the stray vacancy round. Also, the candidates who didn't participated in the first three round of counselling can also appear for the stray round.

So, yes ! You can participate in the stray vacancy round.
