Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh has rescheduled the first round of UP NEET UG 2026 online counselling for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in government and private medical and dental colleges across the state.
The revised timetable has been issued on September 18, 2026,, and in compliance with the order passed by the Hon’ble High Court, Allahabad, Lucknow Bench dated September 16, 2026.
The UP NEET UG counselling portal is currently operational and provides online services for registration, security-fee payment, choice filling and allotment-related activities.
UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Revised Schedule
| Counselling Activity | Revised Schedule |
|---|---|
| Online Choice Filling | 18 September 2026, 5:00 PM to 21 September 2026, 5:00 PM |
| Declaration of Seat Allotment Result | 22 September 2026 |
| Downloading Allotment Letters & Admission Process | 23–26 September 2026 |
Previous Round 1 Allotments Declared Invalid
One of the most important instructions in the revised notification is that admission of all candidates who had previously received an allotment on September 7, 2026, shall be deemed invalid.
Therefore, candidates who received an allotment in the earlier Round 1 process should participate in the rescheduled first round according to the new schedule.
Choice Filling and Locking Is Mandatory
The rescheduled Round 1 allotment will be based solely on the merit list issued for the first round.
Candidates must complete the choice filling and locking process within the prescribed timeframe. The notification states that allotment in the rescheduled first round will be granted only to candidates who complete the required choice-filling and locking process within the scheduled period.
Candidates should therefore carefully review their available MBBS/BDS college choices before submitting and locking them.
Admission After Fresh Seat Allotment
After the declaration of the rescheduled Round 1 allotment result on September 22, candidates who receive seats will be able to proceed with the next stage.
The allotment letters can be downloaded and the admission process completed from September 23 to September 26, 2026.
Candidates should follow the instructions mentioned in their allotment letter and complete the required admission formalities within the deadline.
My name is Rajesh Mishra. For the past 18 years, I have been helping students get admission into the right colleges. I believe that even students with average or low ranks deserve admission in good colleges—without chasing agents, falling for false promises, or paying donations.
To share my experience and guidance with more students, I write blogs on NEET, Engineering, and AYUSH counselling.
