Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU) — the body that conducts NEET-UG counselling for MBBS and BDS seats in Himachal Pradesh — has released the Final Merit List for Round 1 of the 2026-27 counselling process on August 21, 2026. This is a result-type announcement: it fixes the ranking of eligible candidates who will be considered for seat allotment in the first round. The notice on AMRU's website confirms only the title and the publication date; it does not carry the list itself or any further schedule details on the page as captured. Candidates should treat this as confirmation that the final merit list is now live and go directly to the official AMRU counselling portal to check their name, rank, and status.
AMRU has published the Final Merit List for Round 1 MBBS/BDS counselling 2026-27 on August 21, 2026 — candidates must check their rank on the official AMRU portal now, as this list determines who is called for seat allotment in this round.
What is a 'Final Merit List' and why it matters
In state counselling, a merit list ranks all candidates who registered for counselling, based on their NEET-UG score/rank and applicable category, domicile, and reservation rules. A 'provisional' merit list is usually published first so candidates can raise objections about their rank, category, or documents. The 'Final' merit list — which is what AMRU has now released — is the corrected, locked-in ranking used to actually call candidates for choice filling and seat allotment in Round 1.
If your name is missing from the final list, or your rank looks wrong, this is the ranking that will be used going forward for this round — so it is critical to check it carefully and immediately.
What this notice does — and does not — tell us
The official AMRU page confirms the title 'Final Merit list of MBBS/BDS 1st round Counselling 2026-27' and shows a publication date of August 21, 2026. The page content available does not include the actual list, rank numbers, or a detailed round 1 schedule (such as choice-filling dates, seat allotment date, or reporting deadlines).
Because MedAdmit does not invent dates or details that are not in the source notice, we are not able to state specific counselling dates here. Candidates must visit the AMRU website directly to download the merit list PDF and to check the linked counselling schedule for Round 1.
How to check your position in the merit list
Follow these steps on the AMRU counselling portal to confirm your status in the Round 1 final merit list.
- Go to the AMRU official website and locate the notice 'Final Merit list of MBBS/BDS 1st round Counselling 2026-27'.
- Download the merit list PDF (or open the linked list) published under this notice.
- Search for your NEET-UG roll number or application/registration number — do not rely on name search alone, as duplicate names are common.
- Note your rank position and category as shown in the list.
- Log in to your AMRU counselling account (Student/Applicant login) to check if any further action — such as choice filling — is open for you.
- If you do not find your name or notice a discrepancy in your rank or category, contact the AMRU helpdesk immediately using the contact details on the website.
Why candidates should act quickly
Counselling rounds run on tight timelines. Once a final merit list is out, the next steps — choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting to the allotted college — typically follow in quick succession, often within days. Missing a step because you did not check your rank in time can cost you a seat in this round, even if you were otherwise eligible.
Because the exact Round 1 schedule (choice filling window, allotment date, reporting deadline) is not part of the content captured from this notice, candidates must check the AMRU counselling section directly and frequently over the coming days for the next set of instructions.
Who this applies to
This merit list applies to candidates who registered for AMRU's MBBS/BDS counselling 2026-27 for seats under Himachal Pradesh's state counselling process — this typically covers state quota MBBS and BDS seats in government and private medical/dental colleges affiliated with AMRU. Candidates who did not register for this counselling cycle will not appear in this list.

Contact the AMRU helpdesk immediately through the contact details on their website to clarify your status. Do not wait, since counselling rounds move quickly.
Does this notice mention choice filling or seat allotment dates?
The notice content available to us only confirms the release of the final merit list and its date of publication (August 21, 2026). It does not include specific choice-filling or allotment dates, so candidates should check the AMRU counselling portal directly for the next steps.
Does this cover both MBBS and BDS seats?
Yes, the notice title explicitly covers both MBBS and BDS seats for Round 1 of AMRU's 2026-27 counselling.
I registered for AMRU counselling — will I automatically appear in this list?
If you registered and are eligible under AMRU's state counselling rules, you should appear in the final merit list with your rank and category. Always verify directly on the official list rather than assuming.
What if I find an error in my category or rank in the final list?
The notice itself does not detail a grievance process at this final stage, so candidates should contact the AMRU helpdesk (contact details available on the AMRU website) right away for clarification.
This is a time-sensitive counselling update — log in to the AMRU portal today to check your rank in the Round 1 final merit list and watch the website closely for the choice-filling and seat allotment schedule that follows. If anything about your entry looks incorrect, contact AMRU's helpdesk without delay.
