The Punjab NEET UG 2026 vacant seat information was published by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot during the state counselling process. BFUHS released a tentative vacancy position for the second round on August 27, 2026, showing college-wise MBBS and BDS vacancies across different categories and quotas. For example, the vacancy list included 21 NRI MBBS seats at Guru Gobind Singh Medical College, Faridkot, while Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar had 3 vacant PWD MBBS seats under the government quota at that stage.

The vacancy position was subsequently updated as counselling progressed. BFUHS also published a Special Stray Round vacancy position for MBBS on December 19, 2026, following the MCC schedule for NEET UG 2026. Fresh candidates were allowed to register and submit the required security deposit from December 19 to 20, 2026, up to 5:00 PM. Candidates looking for vacant MBBS seats in Punjab should therefore check the vacancy notices issued by BFUHS for the specific counselling round instead of relying on an old seat list, as the number and category of vacant seats can change after each allotment round.
