  • UP NEET UG 2026 rules: deposits, quotas and what exits cost

    Uttar Pradesh has issued the government order that governs NEET UG 2026 admissions in the state. It runs to twelve pages and decides the things that cost candidates money: who is eligible, what you deposit, what you lose if you walk away from a seat, and how reservation is applied. The order is dated 1 September 2026 and carries the Governor’s approval.

    It covers the 85 per cent state quota in government and autonomous medical colleges, and all the seats in private non-minority and minority medical and dental colleges of the state. The dates for the current round are in our report on Round 1 registration and choice filling.

    Who can take part

    You must have qualified NEET UG 2026. Reserved category candidates of Uttar Pradesh qualify on the reserved category cut-off issued by the NTA. Reserved category candidates from other states do not get that benefit in UP counselling; they are judged against the unreserved cut-off.

    Domicile works differently for government and private colleges:

    • Government colleges. You must be a native of Uttar Pradesh. If you passed both High School and Intermediate from UP, you do not need a separate domicile certificate. If you passed one or both from outside UP but are a native of the state, you need a UP domicile certificate on the prescribed format.
    • Private and minority colleges. Neither UP domicile nor UP schooling is required. Candidates who passed High School and Intermediate anywhere in India can take part.

    One bar carries over from last year. Candidates who were allotted a seat in the UP NEET UG 2025 state vacancy or special state vacancy round and did not take admission are not eligible for the 2026 counselling.

    What you pay before you can choose

    Registration costs ₹2,000 and is never refunded. It applies to the first, second and third rounds and to the state vacancy round, and the state vacancy round needs a fresh registration.

    Security money is separate, is paid online, and is the gate on choice filling. A candidate who has not deposited it cannot fill choices at all.

    • Government medical or dental colleges: ₹30,000
    • Private medical colleges: ₹2,00,000
    • Private dental colleges: ₹1,00,000

    A candidate who wants both government and private seats, medical and dental, deposits only ₹2,00,000. One who wants government and private dental seats alone deposits ₹1,00,000. If no seat is allotted after all the rounds, the money returns to the account it came from.

    What you lose if you leave a seat

    This is the part worth reading twice, because the penalty grows with every round.

    • Round 1 is a free exit. Take the allotment or leave it; the security money comes back in full and you can still play in Round 2 and Round 3.
    • Round 2. Joining an allotted seat is compulsory. Skip it and the entire security money is forfeited. You can only enter Round 3 by depositing it again.
    • Round 3. The same rule holds. A candidate already admitted from Round 1 or 2 who does not join an upgraded seat forfeits the whole security money, and in a government college all fees paid at that time as well.
    • Round 3, private colleges. The same candidate forfeits the security money and half the tuition fee already paid.
    • State vacancy round. Not joining an allotted seat forfeits the security money and bars the candidate from UP NEET UG counselling in 2027-28.

    Resignation has its own clock. After you have joined, you may resign up to two days before the next round's choice filling opens, in person at the same college or nodal centre where you were admitted. A resignation sent any other way is not valid. Resign inside the Round 1 window and it is a free exit. Resign in the Round 2 window and the security money goes, though fees other than the admission fee are refunded. After Round 3 nobody is allowed to vacate a seat at all, and a candidate who does anyway loses the security money plus, at a private college, half the tuition.

    A separate order of 26 June 2024 adds that anyone who leaves a seat after the final round and before finishing the course is debarred from the next session's admission process. Students joining government colleges also sign a compulsory government service bond.

    Reservation, including a new NCC rule

    Vertical reservation on state quota seats in government colleges, for UP natives, is SC 21 per cent, ST 2 per cent, OBC 27 per cent and EWS 10 per cent. The EWS quota applies only in those older colleges where the NMC allowed a matching increase in seats.

    Horizontal reservation is 2 per cent for dependants of freedom fighters, 2 per cent for children of ex-servicemen, 5 per cent for candidates with disabilities, 1 per cent for NCC cadets and 20 per cent for women. Horizontal benefit is available only inside your own vertical category.

    The NCC entry has changed this year, and it changed in court. In May 2026 the Allahabad High Court held that the state's rule was illusory, because it demanded a C certificate that can only be earned during graduation, which made the quota unusable for school leavers. The court directed the state to rectify the NEET 2026 brochure. Uttar Pradesh has now accepted a C certificate with at least B grading, or a B certificate, for the 1 per cent NCC quota.

    Two other rulings shape the picture. Candidates who migrated into UP from other states or union territories get no reservation benefit of any kind. Candidates on the denotified castes list draw reservation only through the SC, ST or OBC list they already appear on, not as a separate group.

    Four government colleges set up under the Special Component Plan, at Ambedkarnagar, Kannauj, Jalaun and Saharanpur, are a case apart. Their reservation is under challenge in the Allahabad High Court, and until that is decided each of those colleges divides its 85 state quota seats as 62 SC, 5 ST, 11 OBC and 7 unreserved.

    In private minority institutions, half the seats go to candidates of the relevant religious minority and the other half to open category candidates.

    Documents that get rejected

    Verification is online. You upload your High School marksheet, Intermediate marksheet, reservation certificate and, where it applies, your domicile certificate, and you pick one of twenty nodal centres at registration.

    • Reservation certificates count only on the UP format from a UP competent authority. The Government of India format used for central government jobs is not accepted.
    • OBC and EWS certificates must be issued on or after 1 April 2026.
    • Disability certificates are valid only from the centres designated under the DGHS and Medical Counselling Committee rules.
    • If any document is found forged after admission, the admission is cancelled and legal action follows.

    How the rounds fit together

    Counselling runs online in four rounds: first, second, third and a state vacancy round. Candidates allotted in the first and second rounds can seek an upgrade up to the third. If an upgrade comes through, the earlier seat falls vacant automatically and passes to the next eligible candidate, and you must complete admission again at the new college. If no reshuffle happens, your existing seat stands.

    After Round 3 processing, unfilled reserved seats convert in a fixed order. ST seats go to SC, and SC, OBC, EWS and minority seats all convert to unreserved. Seats reserved for a horizontal category within a vertical one revert to that vertical category first.

    The state vacancy round is only for candidates who were never allotted anything in UP. Anyone admitted through the all India quota or another state's counselling is out. A candidate already admitted to BDS in an earlier UP round may fill MBBS choices in this round, provided the applicable security money is deposited.

    At admission, government college candidates report to the college in person. Private college admissions are completed at nodal centres, following a Supreme Court order of 2017, and the tuition fee is paid by demand draft in favour of the Director General, Medical Education and Training. Security money is never adjusted against tuition.

    What those private seats now cost is fixed separately. Our guide to Uttar Pradesh counselling tracks the process, and past closing ranks for UP and for BDS seats in the state show where a rank like yours has landed before. You can test a specific rank on our college predictor.

  • UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1: register by 2 PM, choices from 5 PM

    Uttar Pradesh has opened Round 1 choice filling for NEET UG 2026, and the registration window closes today. Online registration and document upload end at 2:00 PM on 2 September 2026, and the registration fee and security money must reach the portal by 3:00 PM the same day. Choice filling then runs from 5:00 PM on 2 September to 5:00 PM on 5 September.

    The dates come from two orders issued by the Director General, Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh on 1 September 2026. They cover state quota MBBS and BDS seats in government and private medical and dental colleges of the state.

    Round 1 dates

    • Online registration and document upload: 1 September 2026 (from 5:00 PM) to 2 September 2026 (till 2:00 PM)
    • Registration fee and security money: 1 September 2026 (from 5:00 PM) to 2 September 2026 (till 3:00 PM)
    • Merit list: 2 September 2026
    • Online choice filling: 2 September 2026 (from 5:00 PM) to 5 September 2026 (till 5:00 PM)
    • Seat allotment result: 7 September 2026
    • Allotment letter download and admission: 8 September to 14 September 2026

    You cannot fill choices until you pay the security money

    The state policy order for 2026-27 is blunt about this: candidates who have not deposited the security money are not eligible for choice filling. The registration fee is ₹2,000 and is not refundable. The security money depends on which seats you want:

    • Government medical or dental colleges: ₹30,000
    • Private medical colleges: ₹2,00,000
    • Private dental colleges: ₹1,00,000

    If you want to be considered for both government and private seats, medical and dental together, you pay only ₹2,00,000. If you want government and private dental seats alone, ₹1,00,000 covers you. The money is paid online, and it comes back to the same account if you end up with no seat after all the rounds.

    Round 1 is a free exit, later rounds are not

    If Round 1 allots you a seat and you decide not to take it, your security money is returned in full, and you can still take part in Round 2 or Round 3. That safety net closes after Round 1. From Round 2 onwards, not joining an allotted seat costs you the whole security money. After Round 3, a candidate who leaves a private college seat also forfeits half the tuition fee already paid.

    This is why Round 1 is the round to be ambitious in. You can rank the colleges you actually want without risking the deposit. Our NEET rank predictor and the Uttar Pradesh closing ranks for past years will tell you which of those choices are realistic at your rank, and there is a separate view for BDS closing ranks in the state.

    Two things that catch candidates out

    First, private colleges in UP do not require you to be a state domicile. Government college state quota seats do, but private medical and dental colleges and minority institutions are open to candidates who passed High School and Intermediate anywhere in India.

    Second, candidates who were allotted a seat in the UP NEET UG 2025 state vacancy or special state vacancy round and did not join are not allowed to take part in the 2026 counselling at all.

    The wider rulebook, including reservation, document rules and what happens at each round, sits in the state policy order. We have set it out separately in our Uttar Pradesh counselling guide.

    What to do now

    • If you have not registered, do it at upneet.gov.in before 2:00 PM today, and pay the fee and security money before 3:00 PM.
    • Pick the security money slab that matches the seats you want. Paying ₹30,000 locks you out of private college choices.
    • Keep your High School and Intermediate marksheets, reservation certificate and domicile certificate ready to upload. OBC and EWS certificates must be issued on or after 1 April 2026.
    • Choose your document verification nodal centre carefully at registration. You are tied to it later.
    • Fill choices between 5:00 PM today and 5:00 PM on 5 September. Do not leave it to the last hour.

  • West Bengal NEET UG 2026: Round 1 seat allotment result published

    West Bengal’s medical counselling committee (WBMCC) published the Round 1 seat allotment result for NEET UG 2026 on 31 August 2026. The list covers 6,422 seats: 5,833 in MBBS and 589 in BDS.

    The result is provisional. All 581 pages of the list are headed “Provisional Seat Allotment Result Round-1”, and a provisional list can be revised before the final one is declared.

    Where Round 1 closed in government colleges

    The ranks below are median closing ranks for state-quota seats in West Bengal’s government medical colleges. The median is the middle value across colleges: half closed at a better rank, half deeper. Individual colleges vary widely, so read these as the shape of the round rather than a cut-off for any one college.

    Category Median closing rank (All India Rank)
    Open 36,975
    OBC 44,526
    EWS 1,17,197
    SC 1,42,062
    ST 4,75,677

    Government-quota seats inside private and deemed colleges close much later. Open closed at a median of 80,686 there, OBC at 98,701 and SC at 2,70,129.

    West Bengal has changed how OBC seats are allotted

    Through 2025, West Bengal allotted OBC-A and OBC-B as two separate pools. The 2026 Round 1 list has neither. It carries a single OBC category, and the seat matrix WBMCC published on 25 August 2026 has one OBC column.

    That single pool is smaller than the two it replaced. Measured on state-quota seats in government colleges, OBC-A and OBC-B together took about 17% of Round 1 allotments in 2025. The single OBC pool takes about 7.6% this year. Over the same comparison, unreserved has gone from about 45% to about 55.5%.

    So this year’s closing ranks and last year’s are not measuring the same thing, and we are not publishing a year-on-year comparison for West Bengal. The Open median has moved from 29,129 in Round 1 last year to 36,975 this year, while the unreserved pool now holds roughly ten percentage points more of the seats. How much of that movement is the larger pool and how much is competition cannot be separated from the allotment data alone.

    Two new private medical colleges

    Two colleges are in West Bengal’s counselling for the first time this year, both listed as private institutes in WBMCC’s participating institute list:

    • PKG Medical College & Hospital, New Town, Kolkata, with 100 MBBS seats (33 state quota, 57 private management, 10 NRI).
    • SKS Medical College, Durgapur, with 150 MBBS seats (50 state quota, 100 private management).

    What to do next

    WBMCC’s revised Round 1 schedule (Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190 dated 20 August 2026) sets reporting and admission for 1, 2, 3 and 5 September 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm. Note that 4 September is not a reporting day: these are four separate dates, not a continuous window.

    Where you report depends on the college. Candidates allotted to private medical colleges are to complete admission at government medical colleges in Kolkata rather than at the private college itself, and WBMCC has said it will publish a separate notice about this. Candidates allotted to private dental colleges report at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College. Carry the original documents, the college fee and the bond, and the admission follows physical document verification.

    Check these dates against your own allotment letter and the notice before you travel. If you are deciding whether to report, whether to hold the seat, or whether to try for an upgrade in a later round, the rules for each of those choices are in the WBMCC notice for this round.

  • Maharashtra CAP Round 1 selection list is out, and joining closes 4 September

    The State Common Entrance Test Cell published the provisional selection list for CAP Round 1 on 30 August. If your name carries a college against it, the date that matters is 4 September 2026, 5.30 pm. Both the joining at the college and the Status Retention Form are due by then.

    What the list actually contains

    The document runs to 896 pages and lists 31,047 candidates, which is everyone who filled choices, not everyone who got a seat. Of those, 10,509 have been allotted a seat. The remaining 20,538 rows read “Choice Not Available”, meaning none of the colleges that candidate filled reached their rank in this round.

    So a little over one in three candidates on the list has a seat after Round 1. Being in the larger group is not a rejection. It means your filled choices did not come to you at this rank in this round, and the later rounds are where that changes.

    The seats went to 93 colleges: 65 medical colleges taking 8,065 candidates, and 28 dental colleges taking 2,444.

    Where the seats went

    Type Colleges Seats allotted Median rank of those allotted
    Government MBBS 42 4,916 37,302
    Private MBBS 23 3,149 76,435
    Government BDS 5 305 1,09,574
    Private BDS 23 2,139 2,97,903

    All ranks here are NEET All India Ranks. Maharashtra prints the AIR on the selection list itself, so nothing needs converting.

    Roughly where Round 1 closed

    A closing rank is only readable if you hold the seat type steady. The figures below cover open-category seats with no additional quota attached, so no women’s, hilly area, PwD, defence, orphan or earmarked seats are mixed in. Those seats close at very different ranks and would distort the picture.

    • Government MBBS, open category: the last such seat went at AIR 47,413. Half of these seats went to ranks better than 18,832.
    • Private MBBS, open category: last seat at AIR 1,14,441, median 68,015.
    • Government BDS, open category: last seat at AIR 99,701.
    • Private BDS, open category: last seat at AIR 4,09,799.

    At the sharp end, G. S. Medical College Mumbai closed its open-category seats at AIR 1,796, L. T. Medical College at 4,886 and Grant Medical College at 6,376.

    Reserved categories close later, and by a wide margin in places. Counting government MBBS seats the same way, with no additional quota attached, OBC ran to 52,299 and SEBC to 52,137, while SC ran to 1,43,965 and ST to 3,13,452. Treat all of these as Round 1 positions rather than final cutoffs. They move in every later round.

    About 160 seats did not fill

    The revised Round 1 seat matrix put 11,675 seats across those 93 colleges, of which 1,006 are the All India Quota surrendered to MCC. That leaves 10,669 on the state side against 10,509 allotments, so about 160 state-side seats went unfilled in Round 1 and carry forward. No college was allotted more seats than it had.

    The list is provisional, and the deadline is not

    The Cell states this plainly in its own notes on the document. The admitting institute will verify your original documents and check eligibility against the NEET UG 2026 brochure, and the admission is confirmed only after that. Two consequences follow.

    First, an allotment is not an admission. If your documents do not support the claim you made at registration, whether that is a category, a domicile or a reservation, the seat does not survive verification.

    Second, the notice is direct about the deadline: submit the original documents as per your claim and pay the fees at the selected college within the stipulated time, failing which the selection stands cancelled. There is no separate grace window mentioned.

    The Status Retention Form is filled at the college by the same 4 September deadline. If you intend to stay in the process for a better seat in a later round rather than settling here, that form is the mechanism, and missing it is not a neutral act.

    If you did not get a seat

    Nothing on this list ends your candidature. The unfilled seats plus everything vacated by candidates who upgrade or drop out form the pool for the next round. What is worth doing now is checking how far your filled choices sat from where Round 1 actually closed, because a preference list built on last year’s expectations is the most common reason a rank that could have reached a college did not.

  • Gujarat NEET UG 2026 round 1 allotment: 7,459 seats allotted, reporting closes 5 September

    The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses declared the first round of MBBS and BDS seat allotment for Gujarat on 27 August 2026. 7,459 candidates were allotted a seat. Reporting at a help centre opened at 10:00 am on 29 August and closes at 12:00 noon on 5 September.

    The three deadlines, and they are not the same day

    Online payment of tuition fee runs until 3:30 pm on 3 September. Cash or demand draft at a designated HDFC Bank branch is open from 10:30 am on 29 August, also until 3:30 pm on 3 September, and only during banking hours on working days. Reporting with original documents at your help centre runs from 10:00 am on 29 August to 12:00 noon on 5 September.

    The fee window shuts two days before the reporting window. Paying on 3 September and reporting on 5 September is allowed. Reporting on 5 September without having paid by 3 September is not.

    Help centres work Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. They are shut on Sundays and public holidays. You pick your help centre and your appointment date while printing the allotment letter, so print it early rather than on the last working morning.

    Candidates on an NRI seat have a separate sequence. A refundable deposit of ₹5 lakh is due by 3:30 pm on 3 September, and the institute fee in US dollars or an equivalent currency is due at the allotted college by 12:00 noon on 5 September. Miss the second one and the admission stands cancelled. The ₹5 lakh comes back after the full admission process ends.

    What was allotted

    8,402 seats went into the round and 7,459 were taken, leaving 943 vacant. Of the seats allotted, 6,398 are MBBS and 1,061 are BDS.

    Quota Offered Allotted Vacant
    Government quota, MBBS 5,753 5,729 24
    Government quota, BDS 984 973 11
    Management, MBBS and BDS 517 517 0
    Local quota (NHL and SMIMER) 138 138 0
    NRI, MBBS and BDS 1,010 102 908

    Every management seat and every local-quota seat went. Government-quota seats are 35 short of full. The vacancy is almost entirely NRI: 908 of the 1,010 NRI seats found no taker, which is nine in every ten.

    Those NRI seats do not stay empty. The official seat matrix says vacant NRI seats are filled as management quota seats at management quota fees, and it adds that the GMERS colleges and Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhuj hold no management seats of their own, so their unfilled NRI seats convert the same way. Expect a large part of those 908 back in the round 2 pool, priced as management seats.

    Closing ranks at the government colleges

    These are NEET All India Ranks, taken from the last candidate allotted in each category on a government-quota seat.

    College Open EWS SEBC SC ST
    B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad 3,318 7,335 9,138 24,057 1,19,966
    Government Medical College, Vadodara 10,954 19,101 21,859 43,642 1,70,014
    Government Medical College, Surat 15,785 23,428 29,112 63,186 2,01,964
    P. D. U. Medical College, Rajkot 19,024 26,518 36,869 67,684 2,50,945
    M. P. Shah Government Medical College, Jamnagar 23,992 27,971 37,155 73,810 2,58,938
    Government Medical College, Bhavnagar 29,992 32,501 41,170 84,516 2,71,176
    ESIC Medical College, Naroda, Ahmedabad 31,311 32,976 42,010 49,287 2,71,205

    Below that tier, the open-category government-quota seat closed at 31,708 at GMERS Sola, 39,961 at GMERS Gandhinagar and 41,285 at GMERS Gotri. The last GMERS college to close was Godhra at 78,940. Among the municipal colleges, NHL Ahmedabad closed at 80,168 and SMIMER Surat at 1,05,468 on their state seats, and lower on their local quota, 68,865 and 93,755.

    Private colleges on government-quota seats ran from 95,120 at GCS Ahmedabad to 2,07,840 at Swaminarayan Institute of Medical Sciences, which was the last open-category government-quota MBBS seat in the state.

    On the dental side, Government Dental College Ahmedabad closed at 1,02,415 in the open category and Jamnagar at 1,29,491. The last BDS government-quota open seat went at 3,57,972.

    Ranks moved a long way from last year

    The median open-category government-quota MBBS allotment this round sits at rank 74,117. Last year in round 1 it was 55,952. The last such seat went at 2,07,840 against 1,47,276 a year ago.

    Category 2025 median 2026 median 2025 last 2026 last
    Open 55,952 74,117 1,47,276 2,07,840
    EWS 64,111 79,931 1,53,945 2,24,410
    SEBC 72,229 84,312 1,74,795 2,67,663
    SC 1,26,652 1,39,592 1,97,732 2,40,831
    ST 4,10,975 4,03,324 5,58,485 5,80,522

    Part of that is supply. Gujarat allotted 5,729 government-quota MBBS seats in round 1 this year against 5,155 last year, 574 more. ST is the one category that did not follow the pattern, with a median slightly ahead of last year.

    The last-merit list is not a rank list

    ACPUGMEC publishes a closing table called Last Merit Round-01, and it is the document most candidates open first. It is quoted in Gujarat merit numbers, not NEET ranks. It shows 116 as the open-category closing figure for B. J. Medical College. That is merit number 116. The NEET rank of the same candidate is 3,318.

    If you compare your NEET rank against the last-merit table you will conclude you have a seat you do not have. The two allotment lists, merit-wise and institute-wise, carry a column headed AIQ Rank, and that is your NEET All India Rank. Use those.

    Round 1 is the round you can walk away from

    Gujarat’s four-round instructions set out something worth knowing before 5 September. After round 1, candidates in all three positions, not allotted, allotted and not reported, and allotted and reported, carry into round 2 on their existing registration, with a free exit and no forfeit of the security deposit.

    Round 2 works differently. A candidate allotted in round 2 who then does not pay the fee and submit originals loses the refundable security deposit, and has to register again for round 3 with a fresh non-refundable PIN fee and a fresh deposit. Anyone who confirms a round 2 admission properly stays eligible for round 3. A candidate who upgrades in round 2 has no claim left on the round 1 seat they had confirmed.

    So the cost of declining a round 1 seat is nothing. The cost of declining a round 2 seat is your deposit and a fresh registration. Round 3 is what used to be called the mop-up round.

    Round 2 dates

    State counselling round 2 runs from 7 September to 11 September. The last date of joining is 18 September, and state authorities verify joined-candidate data on 19 September. If you registered in round 1 and had your documents verified at a help centre, you do not register again for round 2. The All India Quota round 2 opens earlier, on 3 September, which matters if you are in both tracks. We covered that schedule separately.

    What to do now

    Log in to the ACPUGMEC portal, download the allotment letter and the fee challan, and book your help centre appointment while printing the letter. Pay the tuition fee online or at a designated HDFC branch, then collect two copies of the receipt and two copies of the challan from the portal.

    Check two certificate dates before you travel, because they turn people away at the counter. For SEBC non-creamy-layer and for EWS, a certificate in Gujarati must be issued on or after 1 April 2024, and a certificate in English must be issued on or after 1 April 2026. Caste, EWS and domicile certificates must come from Gujarat authorities only. Candidates born outside Gujarat need a domicile certificate from a Mamlatdar, Executive Magistrate or Commissioner of Police in Gujarat. Carry an 11 x 15 inch envelope with your details written on it, as the committee asks.

    Then decide, on the closing ranks above, whether the college you have is one you would keep if round 2 offers nothing better.

    You can see Gujarat’s closing ranks by college and category on our Gujarat NEET cutoffs page.

  • Telangana MBBS web options are open, and skipping phase 1 bars you from every later round

    Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences published the final merit list for MBBS and BDS admissions under the Competent Authority Quota on 28 August 2026, and opened web options the next morning. 18,600 candidates are on the list. The seat matrix released alongside it carries 6,413 competent authority MBBS seats across 63 colleges. Options close at 12 noon on 1 September at tsmedadm.tsche.in.

    The rule that decides your whole counselling

    KNRUHS has put two bars in this notification, both aimed at seat blocking, and either one can end your counselling in Telangana.

    The first: if you do not exercise web options in this first phase, you cannot exercise them in any later phase. Sitting out phase 1 to wait for a better round is not an option this year. If your name is on the final merit list and you want a Telangana competent authority seat at all, you enter options before Monday noon.

    The second: if you are allotted a seat and do not join that college, you cannot exercise options in later rounds. The same applies if you are allotted a seat and then fail to complete admission by the joining date printed on the allotment order. So a casual option list is expensive. Every college you enter is one you are agreeing to join.

    There is no limit on how many colleges you can list. That cuts both ways. List every college you would genuinely accept, and leave out the ones you would walk away from.

    Dates and fees

    Step When
    Final merit list published 28 August 2026
    Web options open 6.00 am on 29 August 2026
    Web options close 12.00 noon on 1 September 2026

    Allotted candidates pay a university fee of ₹12,000 for MBBS online by card or net banking, then download the allotment order. That fee is not refunded under any circumstances. If a payment fails and you end up paying twice, the duplicate comes back only after admissions close, and only against a request sent to knruhs.doublepayments@gmail.com.

    Tuition is paid at the college itself, not to the university. For government colleges it is what the college notifies on its own website. For private colleges it is set by G.O.Ms.No. 98, HM&FW (C1) Department, dated 7 August 2026.

    What the 6,413 seats look like

    The competent authority quota covers government seats left after the 15 per cent all-India quota, plus half the seats in each affiliated private college. Split by ownership, using the university’s own college list:

    Colleges Number Competent authority MBBS seats
    Government 36 3,723
    Private, including minority and women-only 27 2,690
    Total 63 6,413

    The matrix is published in five parts. The main non-minority table holds 5,745 seats, of which 287 are PwD, 57 CAP, 14 PMC and 7 SCCL. Raja Rajeshwari Medical College for Women adds 75 non-minority seats open to women only. An EWS table adds 203 seats, and these sit in just seven government colleges: Gandhi, Kakatiya, Mahabubnagar, Siddipet, Nizamabad, Adilabad and ESIC.

    The minority tables hold 330 seats across Deccan, Shadan and Ayaan, and another 60 at Dr. V.R.K. Women’s Medical College. Competent authority seats in minority colleges go to Muslim minority candidates only. Those candidates stay eligible for competent authority seats everywhere else, so a minority tag adds options rather than restricting them.

    One thing the matrix does not tell you: management and NRI seats in the private colleges are filled separately and are not in this document. Neither are BDS seats, although the merit list you are on covers both courses.

    Who made the final list

    The university’s July information list showed 38,021 NEET-qualified candidates from Telangana. Registration and certificate verification were separate steps after that, and 18,600 came through them onto this merit list. That is roughly 2.9 names for every competent authority MBBS seat, before BDS candidates and BDS seats are counted.

    The list carries the NEET all-India rank rather than a state rank, so you can read it straight against national numbers. The best rank on it is AIR 83, with a score of 693. Telangana’s top qualifier in July stood at AIR 13, a reminder that the state’s highest scorers often take an all-India seat instead.

    By category: OC 3,501, BC-B 2,766, BC-E 2,633, BC-D 2,414, BC-A 1,272 and BC-C 264; SC-2 2,077, SC-3 1,512 and SC-1 118; ST 2,043. Another 1,169 candidates carry the EWS flag and 3,401 the Muslim minority flag. 13,633 of the 18,600 are women, just under 73 per cent of the list.

    Forty-four candidates can apply for only one course

    Forty-four names carry a remark under G.O.Ms.No. 125, HM&FW (C1) Department, dated 22 September 2022. Thirty-six are barred from BDS because they did not join a BDS seat allotted to them in 2024-25 or 2025-26, and eight are barred from MBBS for the same reason on an MBBS seat. Each is marked on the list as eligible for the other course only.

    That penalty is the older and harder version of the seat-blocking rule now applied within this year’s counselling. It is worth reading before you decide to enter a college you are not serious about.

    What to do before Monday noon

    Check your name, category, EWS status and minority status on the final merit list first. Category is confirmed only after the welfare department verifies your certificate, and a wrong tag here changes which seats you compete for.

    Then build your option list in the order you actually want, not the order you think you can get. Allotment works down your list, so a college placed above one you prefer will be given to you if your rank reaches it. Take a printout of your saved options, and expect a six-letter one-time password on your registered mobile while you enter them.

    Helplines run 10.30 am to 5.00 pm on working days: 7901098840 and 9490585796 for rules, 9392685856, 9059672216 and 7842136688 for technical trouble, 9618240276 for payment issues, and 9866092370 for certificate verification.

    Before you fix the order, check where your rank has landed in earlier years. Our Telangana cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college, category and seat type, the Telangana college pages cover fees and seats college by college, and the predictor shows which seats your rank reaches.

  • Karnataka NEET UG 2026 round 1 final allotment is out, and 1,421 candidates changed college

    The Karnataka Examinations Authority published the first round final seat allotment for UG medical and dental courses on 28 August 2026. 11,875 candidates were allotted an MBBS seat and 2,689 a BDS seat. The CHOICES portal opened at 4 pm the same day and closes on 2 September.

    Check the final list even if you already saw the provisional one

    This is a re-run, not a reprint of the 23 August result. KEA had said it would allot again after candidates holding an all-India MCC seat left Karnataka counselling through Choice-4, and the seats they gave up went back into the pool. Candidates already in the list were then moved up against options they had already entered.

    The movement is large enough that the 23 August result is no guide to what you hold now. In medical, 330 candidates who had a seat in the provisional list are not in the final one, 331 appear who were not in it before, and of the 11,544 candidates in both lists, 1,421 have been allotted a different college. In dental, 105 dropped out, 105 came in, and 183 of the 2,584 common candidates changed college.

    We wrote about how this re-run works when KEA announced it, in Karnataka will re-run its round 1 medical allotment.

    Dates for this round

    Step Window
    Choice selection (CHOICE-1 to CHOICE-4) 4.00 pm on 28 August to 11.59 pm on 2 September
    Fee payment by Choice-1 candidates, then download the Seat Confirmation Slip 11.00 am on 29 August to 3 September, during banking hours
    Reporting at the allotted college with the Seat Confirmation Slip Up to 6.00 pm on 4 September

    KEA has told the participating colleges to treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days for this period, so the college cannot turn you away on a weekend.

    What the four choices mean

    These are KEA’s own definitions, from the NEET-UG 2026 information bulletin.

    • CHOICE-1: you are fully satisfied with the allotted college and course and do not want to be considered in any later round. You pay the fee, download the Seat Confirmation Slip and report to the college. You will not be considered for round 2.
    • CHOICE-2: you are satisfied with the seat but want to try for a better one in round 2. You hold the round 1 seat while you do. No fee is paid now.
    • CHOICE-3: you do not want the allotted seat. You surrender it and stay in the process for the next round with your remaining options. No fee is paid now.
    • CHOICE-4: you have taken admission elsewhere and are leaving KEA counselling. You are then out of the later rounds.

    If you exercise no choice at all, you are not eligible for round 2. The same applies if you pick CHOICE-1 and then fail to pay or download the confirmation slip.

    Between rounds you cannot add a college you left out of your list. You can delete, change and re-order the options you already entered, and you may add a college only if it enters the seat matrix after this round.

    Where general merit closed on government-quota seats

    Karnataka fills government-quota seats in private and deemed colleges as well as in government ones, and all of them compete in the same rank ladder. That is why a deemed college sits fourth in this list, ahead of most government colleges. Closing NEET All India Ranks on general merit (GM) government-quota MBBS seats in this round, deepest twenty:

    College Type Closing AIR (GM)
    Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Bengaluru Government 2,655
    Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysuru Government 6,539
    Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical College and Research Institute, Bengaluru Government 8,022

    ESIC Medical College, Kalaburagi Government 30,892
    SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad Private 31,595

    Across every GM government-quota MBBS seat allotted this round, the median closing rank is 34,917.

    Of the 11,875 MBBS seats allotted, 6,465 were government-quota, 3,736 private, 1,458 management and 216 NRI, going by KEA’s own course labels.

    What to do now

    Open your KEA login and read the allotment as it stands today, not the screenshot you took on 23 August. Then pick a choice before 11.59 pm on 2 September, because doing nothing takes you out of round 2 as surely as CHOICE-4 does.

    If you are holding out for a better college, CHOICE-2 keeps this seat while you try. If you are certain, CHOICE-1 needs the fee paid within banking hours by 3 September and you at the college by 6 pm on 4 September. Work out which colleges are realistically ahead of your rank before you decide, rather than after the window shuts.

  • Bihar UGMAC 2026 round 1 allotment out: government MBBS seats all gone

    The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board published the round 1 provisional seat allotment for UGMAC 2026 on 25 August. In all, 3,985 candidates were allotted a seat: 3,574 in MBBS, 221 in BDS, 144 in veterinary science, and 46 at the College of Fisheries, Kishanganj, which joins UGMAC counselling this year.

    Dates you need this week

    Allotment orders can be downloaded from 25 to 31 August. Document verification and admission at the allotted college run from 27 to 31 August. The board calls this list provisional, so a seat is confirmed only after the college verifies the documents and admits the candidate. BCECEB has said the round 2 programme will be announced separately and has not yet given its dates.

    Every government MBBS seat went in round 1

    Twelve government and ESIC medical colleges had 1,392 MBBS seats left for state counselling after the all-India quota and central nominee deductions. All 1,392 were allotted. Patna Medical College closed at NEET All India Rank 5,304 on general unreserved seats, which is Bihar merit rank 100, and at 5,819 on the female unreserved quota.

    Closing All India Ranks on unreserved seats at the government colleges, from the board’s own opening and closing rank table:

    College General (UR) Female (UR)
    Patna Medical College, Patna 5,304 5,819
    IGIMS, Patna 7,071 7,956
    Nalanda Medical College, Patna 8,861 10,311
    Darbhanga Medical College, Laheriasarai 10,362 12,668
    Vardhman Institute of Medical Sciences, Pawapuri 11,687 13,645
    Government Medical College, Bettiah 11,360 —
    JKT Medical College, Madhepura 11,534 —
    ESIC Medical College, Bihta 11,812 14,330
    Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Bhagalpur 11,851 14,513
    Shri Krishna Medical College, Muzaffarpur 11,917 14,446

    A dash means the board published no unreserved closing rank for that pool, because those seats were allotted to reserved category candidates. Two government colleges are missing from the table altogether for the same reason. At Magadh Medical College Gaya and Government Medical College Purnea, every unreserved seat went that way, so neither has an unreserved closing rank. The allotment list records those seats with the remark “Compensation Seat … Against UR”.

    268 private MBBS seats are still open

    The 14 private medical colleges had 2,450 MBBS seats and filled 2,182, so 268 go into round 2. Closing All India Ranks on the unreserved pool run from 1,45,895 at Mata Gujri Memorial, Kishanganj to 7,73,574 at Buddha Hospital and Research Institute, Gaya.

    Buddha Hospital and Research Institute, Gaya 7,73,574

    Two colleges join Bihar counselling

    Buddha Hospital and Research Institute, Gaya and Shrinivas (G) Educational and Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Saran took part in UGMAC for the first time. Both appear as new establishments with 100 MBBS seats each in the National Medical Commission’s 2026-27 seat matrix. Buddha filled all 100. Shrinivas filled all 85 of its unreserved seats and one of the 15 it has set aside for the NRI quota.

    Dental

    221 of the 230 BDS seats were allotted. Patna Dental College filled all 30 government seats, Buddha Institute of Dental Sciences all 100, and Sarjug Dental College all 40. Mithila Minority Dental College filled 51 of 60.

    What to do now

    If you have an allotment, download the order and report to the college between 27 and 31 August with your original documents. If you are holding out for a better seat, wait for the round 2 notice before deciding anything, because the board has not yet published the terms on which a round 1 seat can be upgraded or given up this year. Read those terms against your own rank rather than last year’s pattern.

  • Haryana NEET UG 2026 round 1: registration and choice locking both close on 31 August

    Haryana has opened NEET UG 2026 counselling. Registration on uhsrugcounselling.com runs from 28 August to 31 August, and choice filling and choice locking close on the same night at 11.59 PM. There is no separate choice-filling week after registration closes. Whatever list you have locked by 31 August is the list you are allotted from.

    The round 1 calendar

    Step Dates
    Registration on the portal 28 to 31 August (till 11.59 PM)
    Editing details, filling choices, locking choices 28 to 31 August (till 11.59 PM)
    Provisional allocation of seats 2 September
    Grievances on the provisional list 2 September
    Allocation list after grievance redressal 2 September
    Online payment of tuition fee 2 to 5 September (till 8.00 PM)
    Document verification at Rohtak 6 to 8 September
    Downloading the provisional admission letter 6 to 9 September
    Last date of joining the allotted college 9 September (till 4.00 PM)

    Allocation, grievances and the corrected list are all dated 2 September. That leaves one day for a complaint to be raised and settled, so the university is clearly expecting only clerical corrections at that stage.

    The notice calls this schedule tentative and says amendments will be put up on the admission portal.

    Document verification is in person, at Rohtak, with no substitute

    Verification happens at Sushruta Auditorium, Pt. B. D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak, between 6 and 8 September. The notification is blunt about it: a candidate has to appear personally, and no one may appear on their behalf, whether by authority letter or any other means. A candidate who does not turn up is not considered.

    Two things follow from the wording. Photocopies, even attested ones, are not accepted at verification, and a provisional allotment carries no legal right to the seat. The notification says the same about money. Paying the tuition fee online does not confer any right to the allotted seat either. The seat is confirmed only after the documents clear.

    What it costs to enter

    The registration-cum-counselling fee is non-refundable and depends on category.

    Category Registration fee
    Unreserved Rs. 2,500
    SC, BC, EWS and PwD of Haryana Rs. 1,250
    NRI Rs. 10,000

    The larger money arrives at round 2. To take part in round 2 for government and government-aided seats alone, a candidate pays Rs. 10,000, or Rs. 5,000 if they are SC, BC, PwD or EWS. To be considered for private college seats as well, whether state quota or management quota, the amount is Rs. 1 lakh. Without that deposit a candidate is not eligible for round 2 or any round after it. The Rs. 1 lakh is adjusted against the first-year fee if a seat comes through, and refunded if no seat is allotted.

    A new Rs. 5 lakh security for private MBBS in the stray round

    This is the one genuinely new money rule in the 2026 notification. From the stray round onward, a candidate opting for MBBS in a private medical college or private university has to put down a security fee of Rs. 5,00,000. It is forfeited if they are allotted a seat and then fail to pay the fee, fail to report for document verification, or fail to join.

    We compared the 2026 gazette against Haryana’s 2025 one. The 2025 notification does not contain the word “stray” anywhere and has no equivalent clause. The Rs. 5 lakh sits on top of the Rs. 1 lakh round 2 deposit rather than replacing it.

    Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences joins the list

    The 2026 notification names Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University, among the private university medical colleges in Haryana counselling. It was not in the 2025 notification and it took no allotment in Haryana’s 2025 round 3. The National Medical Commission’s 2026 seat matrix lists it as a new establishment with a sanctioned intake of 100 MBBS seats.

    Two other names also appear for the first time in the notification’s government list, Pt. Neki Ram Sharma Government Medical College at Bhiwani and Maharishi Chyawan Medical College at Koriawas, Narnaul. Both were already taking allotments in Haryana’s 2025 counselling, so their arrival in the 2026 list is the document catching up rather than a new college opening.

    Haryana’s own seat matrix for 2026 is not out yet. The notification says seat distribution will be published separately on the university and department websites before counselling begins, so the number of seats per college and category is still unknown.

    If you are not from Haryana

    Government and government-aided colleges keep 15 per cent of seats for the all-India merit category, filled by the Medical Counselling Committee, and the other 85 per cent for the Haryana state merit category. State quota seats need a Haryana residence certificate.

    Private colleges split 50 per cent state quota and 50 per cent management, with the NRI quota at 15 per cent of sanctioned intake carved out of the management half. The notification says management category candidates from all over India are eligible, regardless of their state of domicile or where they studied. So an outsider reaches a Haryana private college through the management or NRI route, and reaches a Haryana government college only through the all-India quota.

    Five per cent of state quota seats are reserved for candidates with benchmark disabilities. Only a disability certificate from a board notified by NTA in the NEET 2026 prospectus is valid, and the Medical Assessment Board sits at PGIMS Rohtak on dates to be announced.

    What happens if you leave

    A round 1 allotment can be kept or improved. The notification gives a first-round allottee the right to retain the seat, and says the seat changes only if they get an upgrade in round 2. Anyone who wants that upgrade has to submit a fresh set of preferences for round 2, because Haryana does not carry the round 1 list forward. Fresh candidates who missed round 1 can also register from round 2.

    Round 2 is where it starts to bite. A candidate allotted in round 2 who does not join forfeits the fee already paid to the Admission Committee, though they stay eligible for the mop-up or third round.

    Leaving after joining is a separate and much larger charge. If a candidate joins a college and then leaves the course on or after 15 December 2026, which is three days before the 18 December last date for admissions, they pay Rs. 10 lakh in bond money and are debarred from MBBS and BDS admission in Haryana for the next three years. Every admitted candidate executes that bond at admission with two sureties on non-judicial stamp paper, and it binds management quota students the same way. A candidate leaving a private institution also pays the fee for the session they leave in, plus half the next session’s fee.

    Separately, everyone who finishes MBBS from a Haryana government or government-aided college is covered by the state’s Service Incentive Bond policy. The bond is Rs. 30 lakh minus the total annual fee, with 10 per cent off for women, and it works as a collateral-free education loan that the government repays on your behalf in return for government service after the course. It comes to Rs. 25,77,090 for men and Rs. 23,19,381 for women at government colleges, and Rs. 21,90,000 and Rs. 19,71,000 at Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha. The service period runs five years from the completion of MBBS.

    These are the terms as printed. What any of them means for a particular candidate depends on rank, category and how much risk the family is willing to carry.

    Annual MBBS tuition, by college

    These are tuition or programme fees from the notification’s fee annexures. Hostel charges, university charges, security deposits and caution money are extra and vary by college.

    College Annual fee for Indian candidates
    Government medical colleges Rs. 61,410, rising 10 per cent a year
    ESIC Medical College, Faridabad Rs. 1,00,000
    Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha (government aided) Rs. 1,80,000
    Private colleges affiliated to UHS Rohtak Rs. 12,00,000, rising 7.5 per cent a year
    Al-Falah University, Faridabad Rs. 16,37,500 for four years, then Rs. 9,00,000
    Maharishi Markandeshwar, Sadhopur, Ambala Rs. 18,00,000, rising 10 per cent a year, charged for 4.5 years
    Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar Rs. 19,00,000, rising 10 per cent a year
    SGT University, Budhera, Gurugram Rs. 22,50,000

    For BDS, the government dental college at PGIDS Rohtak charges Rs. 52,090 across all first-year heads, private dental colleges affiliated to UHS Rohtak charge Rs. 2,80,000 a year rising 5 per cent, and SGT charges Rs. 5,25,000 a year.

    Read the private figures next to the Rs. 1 lakh round 2 deposit and the Rs. 5 lakh stray round security. Those deposits are small against a fee of Rs. 12 lakh to Rs. 22.5 lakh a year, which is presumably why they are set where they are.

  • Delhi’s IP University allots 254 MBBS seats, and every all-India seat went to one college

    Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University published its round 1 provisional MBBS allotment on 27 August. 254 seats, three colleges, and every one of the 78 all-India quota seats went to the same college.

    Three colleges, and that is the whole list

    College Seats allotted
    Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College, Rohini 106
    Army College of Medical Sciences, Delhi Cantt 97
    NDMC Medical College, Hindu Rao Hospital, Malka Ganj 51

    Delhi’s other government medical colleges are not counselled here. IP University runs the Delhi quota for these three institutions; the rest of the city’s MBBS seats are handled by the Medical Counselling Committee. If you are waiting on Maulana Azad or Lady Hardinge, you are waiting on the wrong authority.

    Where the seats went by quota

    173 seats went to the Delhi region quota (HS), 78 to the all-India quota (AI) and 3 to the other-state quota (OS).

    All 78 all-India seats are at Army College of Medical Sciences. Army College also took no Delhi-quota open seat at all this round: its 19 remaining seats are 13 SC, 3 SC under the other-state quota, 1 ST and 2 in the physically handicapped pool. Open-category competition in Delhi this round runs through Rohini and Hindu Rao only.

    Closing ranks, round 1

    These are NEET UG 2026 All India Ranks, printed in the allotment list itself.

    College Quota and pool Seats Best rank Closing rank
    Dr BSA, Rohini Delhi, open 40 186 4,096
    NDMC Hindu Rao Delhi, open 18 1,513 4,982
    Dr BSA, Rohini Delhi, EWS 11 5,545 7,447
    NDMC Hindu Rao Delhi, EWS 5 7,601 9,703
    Dr BSA, Rohini Delhi, OBC 26 4,270 14,403
    NDMC Hindu Rao Delhi, OBC 12 14,410 16,831
    Army College All India 78 5,086 29,882
    Dr BSA, Rohini Delhi, SC 13 13,026 61,017
    NDMC Hindu Rao Delhi, SC 8 20,720 62,595
    Army College Delhi, SC 13 62,852 98,407
    Dr BSA, Rohini Delhi, ST 8 66,448 90,753
    NDMC Hindu Rao Delhi, ST 4 109,616 119,407

    Rohini closing at 4,096 in the open pool and Hindu Rao at 4,982 puts Delhi’s quota among the hardest in the country, which is what happens when a large candidate base competes for 58 open seats. The all-India pool at Army College runs six times deeper, to 29,882.

    The defence and physically handicapped sub-pools run far deeper still, from around 1.9 lakh to over 11 lakh, because each holds one or two seats. Read those as small-pool artefacts, not as a general cutoff.

    The fee that decides whether you keep the seat

    The allotment is conditional on paying Rs. 96,000 and clearing document verification. Worth noting for anyone reading the document itself: the header calls the amount a part academic fee and the closing line calls it a counselling participation fee. It is the same Rs. 96,000 in both places, but check the university’s payment notice for the deadline and the exact head rather than relying on either phrase.

    The list is described as purely tentative. An allotment here is not an admission until the money and the documents both clear.
