Candidates Should Not Rely Only on Displayed Vacancies
AMRU has specifically stated that some seats may become available during the second round because of candidate upgradation or withdrawal.
Therefore, candidates are advised to select their courses and colleges according to their actual preferences, rather than limiting their choices only to the seats displayed as vacant in the provisional list.
This is particularly important for candidates preparing their Round 2 preferences, as the vacancy position may change during the counselling process.
Round 2 Counselling Schedule
AMRU had earlier released the revised Round 2 counselling schedule for MBBS/BDS admissions. The schedule provides for fresh applications, publication of merit and vacancy positions, choice filling and subsequent seat allocation. Candidates should follow the latest schedule and university notifications while submitting their choices.
The university’s official website has now listed the Provisional Seat Vacancy for MBBS/BDS 2nd Round Counselling 2026 among its latest counselling notices.
