Maharashtra’s education authorities released the seat matrix for the third round of the special stray vacancy in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process today. The matrix lists the number of vacant seats that have become available across the state’s medical colleges after earlier rounds of seat allocation.

By opening a third round, the state aims to ensure that all sanctioned seats are filled before the academic year begins.
Candidates can access the matrix through the official counselling portal, where they will also be able to submit their preferred college and course choices. The portal indicates a short window for choice filling, after which the final allotment will be generated based on merit and preferences.
The release is expected to benefit a sizable pool of aspirants awaiting admission, helping them secure a place in government or private medical institutions across Maharashtra.
