How to Check NEET-SS Cut-Off

  • Since MCC has not yet released the official notification or portal link for the Special Stray Vacancy Round, the exact online check process is not available at this time. Based on how MCC has run previous NEET-SS counselling rounds, candidates can generally expect the check to work as follows once it is officially activated:
  • Visit the official MCC counselling website (link to be added once released).
  • Look for the notice regarding the "Special Stray Vacancy Round" or the revised qualifying percentile.
  • Log in using your NEET-SS roll number/registration credentials to view your percentile and eligibility status for this round.
  • Cross-check your percentile against the revised 30th percentile cut-off to confirm eligibility.
  • Download or save the eligibility/status page for your records.

Important Instructions

  • This is currently a proposal submitted by the Centre to the Supreme Court, not yet a formal MCC notification - candidates should watch for the official counselling schedule before making any decisions.
  • Only candidates who have not joined a seat in earlier NEET-SS rounds, and who newly qualify under the 30th percentile threshold, are expected to be eligible for the stray round.
  • Tamil Nadu in-service candidates should track updates separately, since 40 seats are being handled through a distinct one-week state-level process before returning to the central pool if unfilled.
  • Candidates are advised to rely only on official NMC/MCC notifications for final dates, fees, and process - this report reflects the Centre's court submission as covered by news agencies.
