UP NEET UG 2026 Stray Round Registration Closes Today: Check Schedule and Choice Filling Details

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, is set to conclude the registration process for the NEET UG 2026 stray round today, November 7, 2026. Candidates seeking admission to vacant MBBS and BDS state quota seats must ensure their applications are submitted through the official portal, upneet.gov.in, by the 11:00 AM deadline.

This final phase of counselling is critical for students aiming to secure remaining seats in medical and dental colleges across the state. Following the closure of the registration window, the authorities will proceed with the verification process to release the official merit list, which is expected to be published later today, ahead of the commencement of the choice-filling phase.

Important Deadlines and Choice Filling Procedures

Beyond the initial registration deadline, candidates must also be mindful of the financial requirements associated with this round. The window for depositing both the registration fee and the mandatory security fee remains open until 2:00 PM today. It is essential for applicants to note that failure to complete the fee payment process by this time will result in disqualification from the seat allotment procedure.

Once the merit list is released, the online choice-filling process is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM today. This phase allows eligible candidates to select their preferred institutions for the vacant seats. Applicants are advised to monitor the official website closely for the publication of the merit list and to complete their choice filling promptly once the portal becomes active. All candidates are encouraged to ensure that their documents are uploaded correctly and that all application steps are finalized within the stipulated timeframes to avoid any disruption to their admission prospects.
