UP NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Registration Window Closes Today at 2 pm, Fee by 5 pm
The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has extended the registration window for the first round of UP NEET UG 2026 counselling. Candidates seeking admission to MBBS and BDS programmes under the state quota can complete online registration and document upload until today, August 14, 2026, at 2 pm.
The revised schedule also sets a separate deadline for payment. Candidates must deposit the registration fee and security money by 5 pm on the same day. The extended timeline applies to admissions in government and private medical and dental colleges and universities across Uttar Pradesh.
According to the official notice issued by DGME Uttar Pradesh, the registration process began on August 13 at 11 am. The initial window was later revised to give candidates additional time. Those who have not yet started or completed the process should submit their applications and make the required payments before the respective deadlines.
Revised Schedule for UP NEET UG 2026 Counselling
As per the fresh schedule, the following activities must be completed within the prescribed time:
- Online registration and document upload: August 13 (11 am) to August 14 (2 pm)
- Registration fee and security money payment: August 13 (11 am) to August 14 (5 pm)
The counselling process covers MBBS and BDS seats in both government and private medical and dental institutions in Uttar Pradesh. Candidates are advised to ensure their documents are uploaded correctly and fees are paid in full to avoid disqualification.
Where to Check Updates
All official information related to UP NEET UG 2026 counselling is available on the websites mentioned in the notice. Candidates can also contact the helpline numbers provided on the official portal for assistance. Authorities have urged applicants to regularly check these websites for further updates and instructions.
This year's UP NEET UG counselling is being closely monitored as thousands of students compete for limited seats in state medical and dental colleges. The state government has emphasised transparency and strict adherence to the revised timeline.
With the deadline approaching, candidates are advised to avoid last-minute delays. Technical glitches or incomplete documentation can result in missed opportunities. Applicants should keep all necessary documents, including NEET UG scorecards, identity proof, and category certificates, ready before starting the online process.
The extended schedule is intended to help students who faced difficulties due to the earlier tight timeline. However, no further extensions are expected. Candidates must act today to secure their place in the counselling process.
