UP NEET UG Counselling 2026: Round 2 Revised Schedule Released

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME) has officially released the revised schedule for the second round of the Uttar Pradesh National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET UG) counselling for the 2026 academic session. This update follows a period of uncertainty during which the second round of the state-level admission process was temporarily postponed due to unavoidable administrative reasons.

Candidates participating in the state counselling process for admission to MBBS and BDS programmes across Uttar Pradesh can now access the updated timeline through the official website at upneet.gov.in. The release of these revised dates provides clarity for students who were awaiting further instructions regarding the next steps in their medical school admission journey.

Key Details for UP NEET UG Counselling Round 2

The revised schedule encompasses all essential stages of the second round of counselling, including the publication of the merit list, the window for choice filling, the declaration of seat allotment results, and the subsequent reporting period at the allotted medical or dental colleges. It is imperative that all eligible candidates review these dates carefully to ensure they do not miss any critical deadlines.

The DGME has advised participants to remain proactive by keeping their counselling login credentials secure and ready for use. These credentials will be necessary for accessing individual allotment status and completing the mandatory registration and fee payment processes as outlined in the updated notification. The revised schedule is specifically designed to streamline the remaining activities for those seeking admission to undergraduate medical and dental courses under the state quota.

Next Steps for Candidates

Following the publication of the seat allotment results, candidates who are successfully allocated a seat must adhere strictly to the reporting instructions provided by the DGME. This includes completing the admission formalities at their designated institutions within the specified timeframe.
