Revision notice: Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU), Himachal Pradesh, has released a revised provisional seat-vacancy matrix for MBBS/BDS Stray Round Counselling 2026. The notice is dated . It does not reproduce the earlier vacancy matrix or identify row-by-row changes; therefore, the old-to-new numerical changes cannot be confirmed from this notice alone.
The official matrix sets out institution-, quota- and category-level vacancy entries for the stray round. Candidates should rely on the revised matrix rather than an earlier vacancy position when checking the seats shown as available.

Important reading note
The matrix also contains rows with zero vacancies, including entries for Indira Gandhi Medical College Shimla, Dr Rajendra Prasad Govt Medical College Tanda Kangra, and Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Govt Medical College and Hospital Chamba. This article does not treat a zero entry as an available seat.
AMRU's table contains a separate total-seat column alongside quota columns. Because some displayed quota entries do not reconcile arithmetically with the displayed total in the supplied matrix, this update does not calculate or publish an aggregate vacancy total. Candidates should use the category and quota entries in the official revised document and seek clarification from AMRU if a displayed total affects their decision.
What candidates should do
- Open the revised provisional seat-vacancy matrix and locate the intended course, college, quota and category.
- Compare the revised entry with any preference plan based on a previous vacancy list; do not assume that a previously seen vacancy remains unchanged.
- Check AMRU's Stray Round Counselling 2026 schedule notice for the operative counselling timeline.
- Use the official fresh-registration notice, where applicable, and monitor AMRU's official notices for subsequent instructions.
- Review the MBBS/BDS Counselling 2026-27 prospectus listing for counselling rules and supporting requirements; this vacancy notice itself does not prescribe documents or fees.
