The Haryana NEET counselling process is conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) through Pt. Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS), Rohtak. The process covers 15 medical colleges with approximately 2,000 MBBS seats.

How the Haryana NEET counselling process works
Haryana does not conduct a separate state entrance exam. Your NEET All India Rank (AIR) is the sole admission criterion. UHS Rohtak prepares a state merit list by filtering NEET AIR scores for domicile-eligible candidates, then ranking them in score order.
Your position in the Haryana state merit list determines when you get to choose seats. A candidate with AIR 10,000 could have a state merit rank of 300 if only 299 eligible Haryana candidates scored higher.
Since Haryana uses NEET AIR directly, standard NEET tiebreaking rules apply: Biology marks first, then Chemistry marks, then fewer incorrect answers, then age (older candidate ranked higher).
Who is eligible
You can participate in Haryana state counselling if you meet all of the following:

- Age: Minimum 17 years by December 31 of the admission year

Non-domicile access: Candidates without Haryana domicile can participate only for Management quota and NRI quota seats in private medical colleges.

Upgradation rules

If not upgraded, your original allotment continues. You must either report to your allotted institute or explicitly opt for upgradation before the deadline.
