UP NEET UG Counselling 2026: Registration Begins at upneet.gov.in; Check Fee, Last Date, Documents and Reservation Policy

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has opened online registration for Round 1 of UP NEET UG Counselling 2026. Candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 can now register at upneet.gov.in for admission to MBBS and BDS courses under the state's 85% quota seats in government and private medical and dental colleges.

Registration began on August 7, 2026, and the window closes on August 12, 2026. Candidates are strongly advised to complete the process well before the deadline, since portal traffic typically spikes in the final 24 hours and last-minute payment or upload failures are common.

UP NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Key Dates

Note: DGME UP has not yet released the Round 1 merit list date or choice-filling schedule. Candidates should keep checking upneet.gov.in directly, since third-party dates circulating on social media are not official until DGME confirms them.

UP NEET Counselling 2026 Fee Structure

• Online registration fee: Rs 2,000 (non-refundable)

• Security deposit: Separate, refundable, payable after registration — amount varies by government/private college and by MBBS/BDS course

• Security deposit is typically paid via Demand Draft in favour of the Director General, Medical Education & Training, U.P., payable at Lucknow (candidates should confirm the exact mode on the portal, as this can change year to year)

Documents Required for UP NEET UG Counselling 2026

Candidates must upload scanned copies of documents including NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), photo ID proof, and passport-size photograph, as specified on the portal.

UP NEET UG 2026 Reservation Policy (State Quota)

These percentages apply to the 85% state quota seats reserved for UP domicile candidates in government medical and dental colleges; the remaining 15% falls under the All India Quota, counselled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

Why This Matters

Uttar Pradesh has one of the largest MBBS/BDS seat matrices in the country, and UP NEET UG counselling typically runs across Round 1, Round 2, a Mop-Up Round, and a Stray Vacancy Round. Missing the Round 1 registration window can push a candidate straight into later, seat-scarce rounds — so timely registration matters more here than in many other states.
