Tripura pushes NEET UG 2026 round 1 registration to 27 August

The Directorate of Medical Education has issued a revised round 1 schedule for Tripura undergraduate medical counselling, replacing the one published on 18 August. Every stage moves back by roughly a week.

The revised schedule

Event When (server time)
Registration, payment of registration fee and security deposit, and final submission after registration unlocking 18.08.2026 (3 pm) to 27.08.2026 (11 am)
Registration unlocking up to 27.08.2026 (9 am)

Nomination collected from the DME office by allotted candidates 01.09.2026 (12 noon) to 05.09.2026 (2 pm)

The three sub-deadlines on 27 August run in sequence within a single morning: unlocking closes at 9 am, discrepancy correction at 11 am, and choice filling opens at 2 pm. If your form needs a correction, 27 August morning is the last chance, and it is a narrow one.

The seat matrix is out

The round 1 seat matrix has been published alongside the schedule, covering MBBS, BDS, BHMS and BAMS. It sets out the state quota and domicile seats, and separately the MBBS seats for All India candidates other than Tripura domicile at Tripura Medical College and Tripura Santiniketan Medical College.

Note the collection step: the nomination has to be picked up in person from the DME office between 1 and 5 September before admission at the allotted institution, so plan for two visits rather than one.

Our Tripura cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college and category.
