Himachal Pradesh sets NEET UG 2026 round 1 dates, choice filling 22 to 25 August

Atal Medical and Research University has issued the revised round 1 counselling schedule for MBBS and BDS in Himachal Pradesh, following the revised schedule received from the MCC.

The revised schedule

# Activity Date
1 Final merit list of 1st round counselling 21.08.2026
2 Filling and locking the choices of course, college and quota 22.08.2026 to 25.08.2026
3 1st round provisional seat allocation 27.08.2026
4 1st round final seat allocation 29.08.2026
5 Date of joining the allotted college and course 01.09.2026 to 03.09.2026

Two things to note

There are two allocations, not one. The provisional allocation on 27 August is not the final word; the final allocation follows on 29 August. Do not make travel or payment commitments on the provisional list alone.

Locking is inside the 22 to 25 August window. Filling and locking share the same four days, with no separate locking period afterwards.

The university notes that any change, or the schedule for subsequent rounds, will be uploaded to amruhp.ac.in, and advises candidates to check it regularly until admission is complete.

The change follows the Medical Counselling Committee revising the All India Quota and state counselling schedule on 19 August 2026. Most states are re-issuing their round 1 dates as a result.

Our Himachal Pradesh cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college and category, and the counselling guide covers the state’s eligibility and exit rules.
