Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot has released the provisional merit list of NRI (Non-Resident Indian) candidates for the 1st Round of online counselling under NEET PG 2026. This list shows all NRI applicants ranked by their NEET PG score and is divided into two categories: Category I (standard NRI) and Category II (a separate NRI classification). If you applied as an NRI candidate, you must check this list immediately to confirm your name, roll number, rank, marks and category are correct. Any discrepancies must be reported before counselling begins, as this is a provisional list and corrections may still be possible.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this list and why does it matter?
This is the provisional merit list of NRI candidates who have applied for postgraduate medical (MD/MS/DNB) counselling under NEET PG 2026 at Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot. The list is released before the 1st Round of online counselling begins, so that candidates can verify their details and raise any objections or corrections.
The list is 'provisional' — meaning it is not final. If you spot an error in your name, roll number, rank, marks or category, you must report it to the university immediately. Once counselling begins and seats are allotted, corrections become much harder. This is your chance to ensure the record is accurate before you participate in choice-filling and seat allocation.
Who appears on this list?
This list includes only NRI candidates — that is, Indian citizens living abroad (or their dependents) who have applied for NEET PG 2026 counselling at BFUHS. NRI seats are a separate quota, distinct from general, SC, ST and OBC seats. If you applied as an NRI, your name should appear here. If you applied as a general or reserved-category candidate (not NRI), you will not be on this list.
The list is divided into two NRI categories: Category I and Category II. The document does not explicitly define what distinguishes these two categories, but both are NRI classifications. Candidates are ranked within their category by NEET PG marks (highest marks first). You must check which category you are listed under and ensure it matches your application.
How to find your name on the list
The list is organized by category (Category I first, then Category II). Within each category, candidates are listed in order of their NEET PG rank (best rank first). To find yourself: (1) Identify which NRI category you applied under; (2) Look for your name in that section; (3) Check your roll number, father's name, NEET PG rank and marks.
The list shows the following information for each candidate: Serial number, NEET PG roll number, candidate name, father's name, NEET PG rank, NEET PG marks, category (I or II), gender, and remarks. Use your roll number (the 11-digit number on your NEET PG admit card) as the primary identifier to confirm you have found the correct entry.

The provisional list divides NRI candidates into two categories: Category I and Category II. The document itself does not provide a detailed definition of what distinguishes these categories. Typically, NRI categories may differ based on factors such as the country of residence, the type of NRI status (e.g., NRI vs. OCI — Overseas Citizen of India), or other eligibility criteria set by the university or the NEET PG counselling authority.
What matters for you: Check which category you are listed under. This category will determine which seats you are eligible for during counselling. If you believe you have been placed in the wrong category, or if your category does not match what you selected in your application, contact BFUHS immediately with proof of your NRI status and the correct category. Do not wait until counselling begins to raise this issue.
What information is shown for each candidate?
For each candidate on the list, the following details are provided: (1) Serial number (position on the list); (2) NEET PG roll number (your unique 11-digit exam identifier); (3) Candidate name; (4) Father's name; (5) NEET PG rank (your position among all NEET PG candidates nationally); (6) NEET PG marks (your total score out of 800); (7) Category (I or II); (8) Gender; (9) Remarks (any special notes, usually blank).
Verify each of these details carefully. Your NEET PG rank and marks are crucial — they determine your position in the merit order and which seats you can compete for. If any detail is wrong, it could affect your counselling outcome. For example, if your marks are recorded lower than your actual NEET PG score, your rank will be incorrect, and you may be offered a lower-ranked seat than you deserve.
Merit list snapshot — Category I and Category II candidates
As of 19 October 2026, the provisional list shows 6 candidates in Category I and 1 candidate in Category II. Category I candidates range from NEET PG rank 24,032 (highest) to rank 115,351 (lowest), with marks ranging from 463 to 288. Category II has 1 candidate with NEET PG rank 118,783 and marks 283.
These numbers are specific to BFUHS Faridkot and represent only the NRI applicants for this university. The total number of NRI seats available at BFUHS, and how many will be filled in Round 1, will be shown in the seat matrix and counselling schedule, which are published separately.
| Category | Number of Candidates | Rank Range | Marks Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category I | 6 | 24,032 – 115,351 | 463 – 288 |
| Category II | 1 | 118,783 | 283 |
What to do if your name is NOT on the list
If you applied as an NRI candidate but your name does not appear on this provisional list, do not panic immediately. Possible reasons include: (1) Your application was incomplete or rejected during the application verification stage; (2) Your NRI status could not be verified; (3) There is a data entry error; (4) You may have applied under a different category (general, SC, ST, OBC) instead of NRI.
Action: Contact BFUHS Faridkot immediately with your NEET PG roll number and application reference number. Ask them to confirm whether your application was received, processed and accepted. If there is an error, request that it be corrected before counselling begins. Do not assume you are ineligible — verify with the university directly.

If your name is on the list but any detail is wrong — for example, your marks are lower than expected, your rank seems incorrect, your father's name is misspelled, or your category is wrong — you must report it to BFUHS immediately. This is a provisional list, and corrections are still possible before Round 1 counselling begins.
How to report: Contact the BFUHS admission office with your NEET PG roll number, a copy of your NEET PG admit card (showing your correct marks and rank), and a written explanation of the error. Provide supporting documents (e.g., your NEET PG scorecard, proof of NRI status, or a corrected affidavit if your name is misspelled). Keep a record of your complaint and the date you submitted it. Follow up in writing or by email so there is a paper trail.
Important dates and next steps
This provisional merit list was released on 19 October 2026. The exact date when Round 1 counselling registration will open has not been stated in this document. However, you should expect it to begin within a few days to a week of the merit list release. Check the BFUHS admission portal (admission.bfuhsonline.ac.in) regularly for the counselling schedule, registration dates, and instructions.
Once Round 1 counselling registration opens, you will need to log in with your NEET PG roll number and password, fill in your choice of specialties and colleges, and submit your choices. Your position in the merit list (your rank within your category) will determine the order in which you are offered seats. Seats will be allotted based on your rank, your choices, and the availability of seats in each specialty and college.
How merit rank affects your seat allotment
Your position on this merit list — determined by your NEET PG marks and rank — directly affects which seats you can get. Candidates with higher marks (and thus better ranks) are offered seats first. If you are ranked 1st in Category I, you will be offered a seat before the candidate ranked 2nd, and so on. This is why verifying your rank and marks now is critical: if your marks are recorded incorrectly, your rank will be wrong, and you may miss out on a seat you were actually eligible for.
During counselling, you will fill in a list of your preferred specialties and colleges in order of preference. The system will then allot you the highest-ranked seat (from your preference list) that is available when your turn comes. If you are ranked lower, you will have fewer choices available because higher-ranked candidates will have already taken the best seats.
NRI quota and seat availability
NRI candidates compete for a separate quota of seats reserved for Non-Resident Indians. The number of NRI seats available at BFUHS Faridkot, and how many will be filled in Round 1, will be shown in the seat matrix (a detailed table of all available seats by specialty, college and category). The seat matrix is usually published along with the counselling schedule.
As an NRI candidate, you can only be allotted seats from the NRI quota. You cannot compete for general, SC, ST or OBC seats, and vice versa. This means your competition is only with other NRI candidates on this list. The number of NRI seats is typically smaller than the general quota, so the cutoff rank for NRI may be higher (i.e., you may need a better rank to secure a seat) than for general candidates.
Provisional vs. final list — what changes?
This is a provisional list. It becomes final after the university has reviewed any objections or corrections submitted by candidates and has verified all details. If you report an error and it is corrected, your entry on the final list will be updated. If no corrections are made, the provisional list becomes the final merit list used for counselling.
The final list is usually published a few days before Round 1 counselling registration opens. Check the BFUHS portal for the announcement of the final merit list. If your details have changed, you will see the update there. If they have not changed and you did not report an error, assume the provisional list is correct and proceed with counselling.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I am an NRI candidate. How do I check if my name is on the provisional merit list?
The provisional merit list is divided into Category I and Category II. Find your category, then look for your name in that section. Use your NEET PG roll number (the 11-digit number on your admit card) to confirm you have found the correct entry. The list shows your name, father's name, NEET PG rank, marks, category and gender. If you cannot find your name, contact BFUHS immediately to check if your application was processed.
What does 'provisional' mean? Can my details still change?
Provisional means the list is not yet final. If you spot an error in your name, marks, rank or category, you can report it to BFUHS now, and it may be corrected before the final list is published. Once the final list is released (usually a few days before counselling begins), corrections become much harder. Report any errors immediately in writing to the admission office.
My NEET PG marks on the merit list are lower than my actual score. What should I do?
This is a serious error that will affect your rank and your seat allotment. Contact BFUHS admission office immediately with your NEET PG scorecard (from the NTA) as proof of your correct marks. Submit a written complaint with your roll number and request a correction. Keep a copy of your complaint and follow up in writing or email to ensure there is a record.
I applied as an NRI but my name is not on the list. Does this mean I am rejected?
Not necessarily. Your application may not have been processed yet, or there could be an error. Contact BFUHS with your roll number and ask them to confirm whether your application was received and accepted. If your NRI status could not be verified, they will tell you what documents you need to submit. Do not assume you are ineligible without checking with the university.
What is the difference between Category I and Category II NRI candidates?
The document does not explicitly define the difference. Typically, NRI categories may differ based on the country of residence, type of NRI status (NRI vs. OCI), or other eligibility criteria. Check which category you are listed under and ensure it matches your application. If you believe you are in the wrong category, contact BFUHS with proof of your NRI status.
When does Round 1 counselling registration open?
The exact date is not stated in this provisional merit list. However, counselling usually begins within a few days to a week after the merit list is released. Check the BFUHS admission portal (admission.bfuhsonline.ac.in) regularly for the counselling schedule, registration dates and instructions.
How does my rank on this merit list affect which seat I get?
Your rank determines the order in which you are offered seats. Candidates with higher marks (better ranks) are offered seats first. When your turn comes, you will be offered the highest-ranked seat from your preference list that is still available. If you are ranked lower, fewer seats will be available because higher-ranked candidates will have already taken them.
Can I compete for general or SC/ST/OBC seats as an NRI candidate?
No. As an NRI candidate, you can only compete for seats in the NRI quota. You cannot apply for general, SC, ST or OBC seats. Your competition is only with other NRI candidates on this list. The number of NRI seats is typically smaller, so the cutoff rank may be higher than for general candidates.
What should I do now to prepare for Round 1 counselling?
First, verify your details on this provisional merit list immediately. If you spot any error, report it to BFUHS now. Second, check the BFUHS portal daily for the counselling schedule, seat matrix and registration instructions. Third, research the specialties and colleges you are interested in and prepare your preference list in advance. When registration opens, log in promptly and fill in your choices.
Is this list final, or will it change before counselling?
This is provisional. It will become final after the university reviews any objections or corrections. The final list is usually published a few days before Round 1 counselling registration opens. Check the BFUHS portal for the announcement of the final list. If your details have been corrected, you will see the update there.
My father's name is misspelled on the list. Is this a problem?
Yes, this should be corrected. A misspelled father's name could cause issues during document verification or seat confirmation. Contact BFUHS with your roll number and a copy of your birth certificate or other proof of your father's correct name. Request a correction before the final list is published.
How many NRI seats are available at BFUHS Faridkot in Round 1?
The number of NRI seats is not stated in this provisional merit list. This information will be provided in the seat matrix, which is usually published along with the counselling schedule. The seat matrix will show how many NRI seats are available in each specialty and college, and how many will be filled in Round 1.
