AMRU's official website also lists the Provisional Seat Vacancy for MDS 2nd Round Counselling 2026 among its current counselling notifications.

Important Note on MDS Round 2 Vacancy

AMRU has specifically cautioned candidates that some seats may become available due to upgradation or withdrawal by candidates during the second round.

Therefore, candidates have been advised to select their choices/preferences based on their actual preferences and not solely on the displayed vacancy status.

This means that a course showing no vacancy at a particular point may subsequently have a seat available because of movement or withdrawal during the counselling process.
