Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot has extended the deadline for submitting No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for PCMS category incentive marks. The new deadline is 21 October 2026 at 5:00 PM — a two-day extension from the original 19 October deadline. This extension applies to all candidates seeking incentive marks under the PCMS (Post-MBBS Competent Medical Services) category for MD, MS, DNB, and PG Diploma admissions in the 2026 academic session. If you miss this extended deadline, your NOC will only be considered in a subsequent counselling round, which could delay or affect your seat allotment. This is a time-critical notice — act immediately if you have not yet submitted your NOC.
Submit your PCMS NOC by 21 October 2026 at 5:00 PM to BFUHS Faridkot, or it will be processed only in the next counselling round.

A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is a formal document issued by your employer or the institution where you work that confirms you have permission to pursue postgraduate medical studies. For NEET-PG candidates, an NOC is typically required if you are employed in a government or private medical institution, or if you have received any scholarship or bond-related support.
Under the PCMS (Post-MBBS Competent Medical Services) category, candidates who submit a valid NOC are eligible for incentive marks — additional marks added to your NEET-PG score that can improve your rank and increase your chances of securing a better seat. These incentive marks are a significant advantage, especially in competitive counselling rounds.
BFUHS Faridkot is the nodal authority for PG medical admissions in Punjab, and it requires NOCs to be submitted directly to verify your eligibility for PCMS incentive marks before seats are allotted.
Who must submit an NOC?
You must submit an NOC if you fall under the PCMS category — that is, if you are a post-MBBS doctor employed in a government or private medical institution, or if you have received any form of government scholarship, bond, or service obligation during or after your MBBS course.
If you are a private practitioner with no institutional employment or scholarship obligation, you may not need an NOC. However, if you are unsure whether you qualify for PCMS, contact BFUHS Faridkot's Admission Branch directly before the deadline to clarify your status.
Candidates who do not submit an NOC by the deadline will not receive PCMS incentive marks in the current counselling round, even if they are eligible. This can significantly impact your rank and seat allotment.
The Extended Deadline: What Changed

Official round-wise closing ranks with fee and stipend, matched to your rank.
The original deadline for NOC submission was 19 October 2026 (today). BFUHS has now extended this deadline to 21 October 2026 at 5:00 PM — giving candidates two additional days to gather and submit their NOCs.
This extension is final. The notice explicitly states: 'No further extension shall be entertained.' Any NOC received after 5:00 PM on 21 October will not be processed in the current counselling round.
If your NOC arrives after the 5:00 PM deadline on 21 October, it will be considered only in a subsequent (later) round of counselling. This means you will lose the benefit of incentive marks in the current round, which could affect your allotment and the specialty or college you are offered.
- Original deadline: 19 October 2026
- Extended deadline: 21 October 2026 at 5:00 PM
- No further extensions will be granted
- Late submissions will be processed only in the next counselling round
How to Submit Your NOC
The notice does not specify the exact submission method (online portal, email, or physical submission). You must contact BFUHS Faridkot's Admission Branch immediately to confirm the correct submission channel — whether it is through the online counselling portal, email, or in-person delivery.
Ensure your NOC is an original or officially attested copy issued by your employer or institution. The certificate must clearly state your name, your MBBS registration number (if applicable), the institution or employer name, and the date of issue. It must be signed and stamped by an authorized official.
Keep a copy of your NOC and any submission receipt or confirmation number for your records. If submitting online, take a screenshot of the confirmation page. If submitting by email or in person, request a dated acknowledgment.

- Ensure your NOC is original or officially attested
- Include your name, MBBS registration number, employer/institution name, and issue date
- Obtain and retain a submission receipt or confirmation
What Happens if You Miss the Deadline?
If your NOC is not received by 5:00 PM on 21 October 2026, it will not be processed in the current counselling round. You will not receive PCMS incentive marks, and your rank will be calculated based on your NEET-PG score alone.
Your NOC will be considered only in a subsequent (later) round of counselling. By that time, many seats may already have been allotted to other candidates in earlier rounds. This can significantly reduce your choice of specialty, college, and location.

Important Clarifications and Traps to Avoid
⚠️ **Strict 5:00 PM Cutoff:** The notice emphasizes that the deadline is strictly 5:00 PM on 21 October. Submissions received even one minute after 5:00 PM will be rejected from the current round. Do not wait until the last moment — submit well before 5:00 PM to avoid technical delays or system issues.
⚠️ **No Further Extensions:** The notice explicitly states 'No further extension shall be entertained.' There will be no grace period, no exceptions, and no second chances. If you miss this deadline, you cannot appeal for another extension.
⚠️ **Verify Your Eligibility:** Before submitting, confirm with BFUHS that you actually qualify for PCMS category. Submitting an NOC does not automatically grant you incentive marks — you must meet the eligibility criteria. If your NOC is rejected as invalid or if you do not meet PCMS criteria, you will lose the marks.
⚠️ **Document Quality:** Ensure your NOC is issued by an authorized official and is clearly legible. Photocopies, faxes, or documents with unclear signatures may be rejected. If in doubt, obtain a fresh, officially attested copy from your employer.
