The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has removed two MBBS seats from the NEET UG 2024 special stray vacancy round following a decision by the Karnataka High Court. One seat each from Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Puducherry, and Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Puducherry, in the open category has been eliminated.
In contrast, the MCC has added multiple seats to the seat matrix for MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing in the special stray vacancy round at various colleges across the country. Newly included institutions are Symbiosis Medical College for Women, Pune, Government Medical College, Machilipatnam, Datta Meghe Medical College, Nagpur, and the College of Nursing, BHU Varanasi.
