Haryana NEET Counselling 2026: Schedule, Registration, Eligibility, Choice Filling & Seat Allotment

Haryana NEET Counselling 2026 will be conducted for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in medical and dental colleges across Haryana. The state counselling process is conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Haryana, while the 15% All India Quota seats are handled through MCC.

As per the NEET-UG Schedule 2026 shared in the provided image, the State Counselling process is scheduled to proceed through Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and Stray Vacancy stages. Candidates who qualify NEET UG 2026 and meet the applicable Haryana eligibility conditions can participate in the state counselling process.

Candidates should also check the latest notification issued by the Haryana counselling authority before completing each counselling activity.

MCC's 2026 bulletin makes it clear that candidates seeking State Quota and private medical/dental college seats under state authority must approach the respective State Government/Admission Authority, rather than MCC.

The schedule provided in the image gives the following timeline for State Counselling:

Haryana NEET Counselling 2026: Who Can Apply?

Candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 and satisfy the eligibility requirements prescribed by the Haryana counselling authority can participate in the state counselling process.

For Haryana state quota admissions, domicile/residence requirements and category-specific conditions are important. The Haryana admission framework has previously required eligible candidates for government/government-aided institutions and open merit state-quota seats in private institutions to satisfy the applicable Haryana residence and NEET eligibility conditions. Management-category seats have had separate eligibility provisions.

Candidates should carefully check the 2026 Haryana admission notification for the final eligibility conditions because category, domicile and admission rules may be revised from one academic session to another.

Haryana NEET Counselling 2026: Reservation and Seat Categories

The Haryana counselling process may include different categories of seats depending on the college and applicable government rules. These can include:

• Open/General category

• Backward Class-B (BCB)

• Economically Weaker Section (EWS)

• PwBD

The Haryana counselling authority publishes the seat matrix for participating colleges before or during the respective counselling rounds. The previous Haryana counselling framework included category-wise seat matrices for government, government-aided and private medical/dental colleges.
