Punjab NEET UG 2026 Round 1 allotment out: 2,410 seats, reporting 30 August to 5 September

Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot, published the provisional first-round seat allotment for Punjab MBBS and BDS admissions on 27 August. The list runs to 142 pages and allots 2,410 seats: 1,386 in MBBS and 1,024 in BDS, across 12 medical and 17 dental colleges.

Objections close on 28 August. The revised allotment follows on 29 August, and physical reporting at the allotted college runs from 30 August to 5 September.

The dates that matter this week

BFUHS accepts objections only in person, at the Admission Branch in Faridkot, with supporting documents. The revised schedule states plainly that objections sent by email or any other electronic mode will not be entertained. If you have a discrepancy to raise, someone has to travel.

Reporting is not a formality either. Candidates have to appear at the college with original documents, complete the medical examination where it applies, finish the admission formalities, and pay six months’ tuition fee through the university online payment gateway inside their own login.

These are Punjab merit numbers, not your NEET rank

The BFUHS allotment list carries a combined merit number covering MBBS and BDS candidates together. It is not the NEET All India Rank, and the two numbers are far apart. Reading a Punjab closing figure as an AIR is the most common mistake made with this document.

The numbers below are the closing BFUHS merit numbers in the government quota, Open category, for MBBS. They are provisional and can move when the revised list appears on 29 August.

Private colleges hold government-quota seats in Punjab

Five of the ten colleges in that table are private: Dayanand Medical College, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Gian Sagar, RIMT and Adesh. Their seats in the list above are government-quota seats, allotted on state merit at the government-quota fee, not management seats.

The same colleges also appear in the list under the management quota, where the allotment reaches much deeper. Dayanand Medical College closed its management-quota MBBS allotment at merit number 4,502, and Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences at 5,445. The college name is the same in both cases. The seat, the merit needed and the fee are not.

On the dental side, the two government dental colleges closed their Open government-quota allotment at merit 1,073 (Patiala) and 1,115 (Amritsar). Private dental colleges ran from 1,816 at SGRD Amritsar down to 4,100 at RIMT Mandi Gobindgarh.

Reporting collides with All India Quota Round 2

Punjab’s reporting window ends on 5 September. MCC opens All India Quota Round 2 registration on 3 September, with registration closing at 3:00 PM on 8 September and the result due on 11 September. State counselling Round 2 runs 7 to 11 September.

A candidate holding a Punjab Round 1 seat and also intending to try All India Quota Round 2 has both processes running in the same week. Read your seat-holding rules before you decide, because what you do in Punjab affects what you can do at MCC.
