Choice Filling on September 9
According to the counselling schedule, candidates will get one day to complete their choice filling for Round 2. The choice-filling window will open at 9:00 AM on September 9 and close at 12 midnight on September 9, 2026.
Candidates should carefully select and submit their preferred choices within the prescribed timeline. The SMIMS website has separately listed the Round 2 MBBS counselling schedule and related admission notices.
Round 2 Seat Allotment Result on September 11
The processing of Round 2 seat allotment will take place on September 11, 2026, with the Round 2 result also scheduled for publication on the same day.
Candidates should check the result online and follow the instructions provided for payment and reporting if they are allotted a seat.
Fee Payment from September 12 to 14
Candidates who are allotted seats in the second round will have to complete the prescribed fee payment between September 12 and September 14, 2026.
The three-day payment window provides candidates with time to complete the required admission-related payment after the declaration of the Round 2 allotment result.
Physical Reporting by September 18
After payment, candidates must complete physical reporting at the allotted institution by September 18, 2026.
Physical reporting and verification of documents are particularly important because the seat allotment is provisional and will be confirmed only after the candidate physically reports and the required documents are physically verified.
Seat Allotment Subject to Availability
The counselling notice also carries an important condition regarding seat availability.
Seat allotment in categories where no vacancy is currently available will be subject to withdrawal by candidates who were allotted seats in the first round.
Therefore, candidates should understand that the availability of seats can change during the counselling process.
The Round 2 process is also subject to the seats becoming available after the first-round admission process. SMIMS has published the Round 2 schedule on its official website.
SMIMS MBBS Round 2 Counselling: Step-by-Step Process
Candidates participating in the second round should follow these steps:
- Complete choice filling on September 9 between 9:00 AM and midnight.
- Wait for the seat allotment processing on September 11.
- Check the Round 2 result on September 11.
- If allotted a seat, complete the required fee payment from September 12 to 14.
- Complete physical reporting and document verification at the allotted institution.
- Ensure that physical reporting is completed by September 18, 2026.
Provisional Allotment to Be Confirmed After Physical Verification
A key point mentioned in the official schedule is that the seat allotment is provisional.
The allotment will be confirmed only after physical reporting of the candidate and physical verification of documents.
Candidates should therefore make sure that they carry the required original documents and complete all reporting formalities within the prescribed deadline.
