UP NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Registration Reopens for Round 1 Admissions

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has officially reopened the registration window for the first round of the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. This development allows eligible medical aspirants to participate in the admission process for MBBS and BDS seats reserved under the 85% state quota.

Candidates who missed the initial window or are yet to complete their application are advised to visit the official website at upneet.gov.in to submit their details. The registration process has been made available again to ensure that all qualified students have the opportunity to secure their participation in the state-level seat allocation process.

Official Counselling Policy and Registration Details

Alongside the reopening of the registration portal, the DGME has released the comprehensive UP NEET UG 2026 counselling policy document. This PDF contains essential guidelines, rules, and regulations governing the admission process for the current academic year. It is highly recommended that all applicants review this document thoroughly to understand the eligibility criteria and the procedural requirements for state quota admissions.

The registration window is currently active for a limited period, specifically between September 1 and September 2, 2026. Applicants are required to complete their registration and ensure that all necessary information is submitted accurately within this timeframe. The official portal serves as the primary source for all updates, including seat allocation results, merit lists, and further schedule announcements.

Important Procedures for Medical Aspirants

As part of the admission protocol, candidates are required to complete the payment of the security deposit online. This payment is a mandatory step that must be finalized before students can proceed to the choice-filling stage of the counselling process. Failure to complete the security deposit payment may impact a candidate's ability to participate in the seat allotment rounds.

Students are encouraged to monitor the official website regularly for any further notifications regarding the counselling schedule. By staying updated through the official DGME portal, candidates can track their admission status and ensure they adhere to all deadlines set by the authorities for the 2026 academic session.
