Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU) in Himachal Pradesh — the university that runs state-level NEET-UG counselling for MBBS and BDS seats in the state — has published a notice dated August 13, 2026 titled 'Notice for counselling and admission for MBBS BDS course for academic session 2026-27'. This is an announcement that counselling for the 2026-27 academic session is underway or about to begin, but the notice page as published does not contain the actual round-wise schedule, choice-filling dates, fee amounts or the document checklist. Those specifics are expected to be released separately, most likely through AMRU's 'Apply for Admission & Various Counselling' section and the MBBS/BDS prospectus on its website. Aspirants in Himachal Pradesh who are eligible for state quota seats should treat this notice as a signal to start actively watching the AMRU portal rather than as the full set of instructions. Until AMRU publishes the detailed schedule, no candidate can register, pay fees, or fill choices for HP's MBBS/BDS state counselling.
AMRU has announced that MBBS/BDS counselling for 2026-27 is being conducted, but the detailed schedule, fees and document list have not yet been published in this notice — candidates must track the AMRU website directly for the next update.
What AMRU has actually announced
The notice, dated August 13, 2026, confirms that AMRU will be conducting counselling and admission for the MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026-27 academic session. AMRU is the designated authority for state-quota NEET-UG counselling in Himachal Pradesh, meaning it manages admissions to seats that Himachal Pradesh government/private medical and dental colleges fill through the state's own counselling process (as opposed to the seats filled centrally by the Medical Counselling Committee for All-India Quota).
As published, the notice does not include a round-wise schedule, registration dates, choice-filling window, seat matrix, fee structure, or a list of documents required. This is common with 'notice released' style announcements — the authority often puts up a short notice first and follows with a detailed information bulletin or prospectus update within the same admissions cycle.
Why this still matters for NEET UG aspirants in Himachal Pradesh
If you have a Himachal Pradesh domicile and want to be considered for state-quota MBBS or BDS seats, this notice is your cue that the counselling process for 2026-27 has started moving. Missing the actual registration window once it is announced could mean losing a state seat, so it is worth checking AMRU's site regularly from now on rather than waiting for a reminder.
Where to look for the details that matter
AMRU's website has dedicated sections for admissions that are likely to carry the full information once released, based on the site structure referenced in this notice.
- 'Apply for Admission & Various Counselling' — this is where registration/login for counselling is typically opened.
- 'Prospectus for MBBS/BDS Courses' under Admissions — this usually carries eligibility rules, fee structure, reservation categories and document requirements.
- 'Latest Notifications' / 'Circular' under Notices & Circulars — where schedule updates, seat matrices and result of rounds are usually posted.
- AMRU's helpdesk contact (as listed on the site: 01905-243967, helpdesk.amruhp@gmail.com) for queries once the detailed schedule is out.
What we do not yet know
Because the source notice does not specify these, we are not stating them — and no candidate should assume any of the following until AMRU publishes them officially:
- Exact registration and choice-filling dates for each counselling round
- The seat matrix (which colleges and how many MBBS/BDS seats are available under state quota)
- Counselling fee or security deposit amount
- The specific list of documents required and any format restrictions (e.g., certificate issue-date rules or category certificate formats)
- Eligibility cut-offs or reservation category breakups for 2026-27

Has AMRU opened registration for MBBS/BDS counselling 2026-27?
The notice announces that counselling and admission for the 2026-27 session is being conducted, but it does not give a specific registration opening date. Check the AMRU 'Apply for Admission & Various Counselling' page for the actual registration window.
Is this for All-India Quota or Himachal Pradesh state quota seats?
AMRU handles Himachal Pradesh's state-quota MBBS/BDS counselling, not the All-India Quota, which is run separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
What documents will I need for AMRU MBBS/BDS counselling?
The notice does not list documents. AMRU typically publishes the required document list in its prospectus or detailed information bulletin — watch for that update.
Are BDS seats also covered under this notice?
Yes, the notice title explicitly covers both MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026-27 academic session.
Who do I contact for more information right now?
AMRU's helpdesk contact given on its website is phone 01905-243967 and email helpdesk.amruhp@gmail.com.
Will there be a separate detailed schedule?

This notice confirms that Himachal Pradesh's MBBS/BDS counselling for 2026-27 is in motion, but the real action items — dates, fees, documents — are still to come from AMRU. Bookmark the AMRU admissions and notifications pages and check them daily until the detailed bulletin appears, and get your certificates (domicile, category, NEET scorecard) ready in advance so you are not scrambling once registration opens.
