Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot — the body that runs Punjab's state-level MBBS/BDS counselling — has published the provisional seat allotment result for the 1st Round of online counselling for Session 2026. Dated 27 August 2026, the document is a long merit-number-wise list showing which candidates have been allotted a seat, at which college, under which quota, and in which category. This is a result/allotment announcement, not an application window — if your name appears on this list, you have provisionally got a seat. The list covers both MBBS and BDS seats across Punjab's government, private, deemed and minority medical and dental colleges.
Check the official list carefully for your NEET roll number — if you are allotted a seat, remember this allotment is purely provisional and can be cancelled without notice if you are found to have also applied under the State Quota of any state/UT other than Punjab.
What exactly has been released
This is the Round 1 provisional allotment result for Punjab's MBBS/BDS counselling under NEET UG, Session 2026, conducted by BFUHS. The allotment has been made purely on the basis of each candidate's NEET-UG merit and the college/category/quota preferences they filled during registration.
The document lists, for every allotted candidate: a Merit Number, Course (M.B.B.S. or B.D.S.), NEET Roll Number, Candidate Name, Gender, Father's Name, Allotted College, Allotted Quota, and Allotted Category. You should locate your own NEET roll number in the list to confirm your allotment — do not rely on name matching alone, since names can repeat.
Colleges covered in this round
Seats have been allotted across a wide range of institutions — government medical/dental colleges, private and deemed universities, and Christian minority institutions. Government MBBS seats have gone to colleges such as Government Medical College Patiala, Government Medical College Amritsar, Guru Gobind Singh Medical College Faridkot, Dr B.R. Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences (Mohali), Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences (Jalandhar), and ESIC Medical College, Ludhiana.
Private, deemed and minority MBBS colleges in the list include Dayanand Medical College & Hospital (Ludhiana), Christian Medical College (Ludhiana), Gian Sagar Medical College & Hospital (Banur), RIMT Medical College (Mandi Gobindgarh), Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (Bathinda), and Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences (Amritsar).
BDS seats have been allotted to Government Dental College Amritsar and Patiala, Christian Dental College Ludhiana, SGRD Institute of Dental Sciences Amritsar, Baba Jaswant Singh Dental College Ludhiana, Dasmesh Institute of Research & Dental Sciences Faridkot, Luxmi Bai Institute of Dental Sciences Patiala, Guru Nanak Dev Dental College Sunam, Rayat-Bahra Dental College Mohali, National Dental College Dera Bassi, Genesis Institute of Dental Sciences Ferozepur, Desh Bhagat Dental College Mandi Gobindgarh, Sri Sukhmani Dental College Dera Bassi, RIMT Dental College Mandi Gobindgarh, and Gian Sagar Dental College & Hospital Banur.
Understanding the 'Allotted Quota' column
Each allotted seat falls under a specific quota, which determines the fee structure and eligibility rules that apply to it. The list uses several quota labels — knowing what these mean helps you understand your own allotment.
- Government — a state government-funded seat, usually at concessional government fees
- Management — a private-quota seat within a private/deemed college, at management fee rates
- NRI — a Non-Resident Indian quota seat, carrying NRI fee rates
- Open Quota (AIQ) — a seat shown here for candidates who came through the All India Quota mechanism but are listed on the state record
- Christian Minority / Minority Quota — seats reserved for the minority community at institutions run by Christian minority trusts
- Defence — seats reserved for wards of defence personnel
Understanding the 'Allotted Category' column
Alongside quota, each candidate is also shown an allotted category, reflecting the reservation or special category under which the seat was allotted. The list includes: Open (general/unreserved), EWS (Economically Weaker Section), Scheduled Caste, Backward Classes, Backward Area, Border Area, Terrorist Affected, Riots Affected, Freed Fighter, PWD (Persons with Disability), Defence, and J&K (Jammu & Kashmir migrants). Christian Minority seats also carry sub-codes such as 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F and 2G, which correspond to specific denominational or regional sub-groups within the minority quota.
If you see a category attached to your name that differs from what you expected, check that it matches the certificate you submitted — a mismatch here is worth raising with BFUHS before you proceed further, since category verification errors can affect your admission.
The trap: one state quota, one state only
The notice carries an important disclaimer that every allotted candidate must read carefully: the allotment is purely provisional, and if any candidate is found to have applied for admission to MBBS/BDS courses for Session 2026 under the State Quota of more than one State or Union Territory — other than Punjab itself — their provisional allotment will be cancelled without any further notice.
In plain terms: you are allowed to apply under Punjab's State Quota and, separately, under the All India Quota (AIQ) — that combination is fine. What you cannot do is apply under the State Quota of Punjab and also under the State Quota of another state or UT in the same NEET-UG session. If BFUHS discovers this, your seat here can be pulled without warning, regardless of your merit rank or how far along your admission process is.
What 'provisional' means for you
The word 'provisional' in the title is not a formality — it means this allotment is not final admission. It is typically followed by document verification, fee payment and physical/online reporting to the allotted college within a window that BFUHS will notify separately. This document itself does not contain those reporting dates or the list of documents required, so do not guess at deadlines — watch the official BFUHS admission portal and your registered contact details for the next circular, which will spell out the reporting process and cut-off dates for this round.
If your name does not appear anywhere in this Round 1 list, it does not necessarily mean you are out of the process — Punjab's counselling typically runs multiple rounds. Keep tracking the BFUHS portal for the schedule of subsequent rounds.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
How do I check if I have been allotted a seat?
Search the official BFUHS Round 1 provisional allotment PDF for your NEET UG roll number — this is more reliable than searching by name, since candidate names can repeat. The list also shows your allotted course, college, quota and category.
Is this my final admission, or can it change?
This is explicitly a provisional allotment. It is based on merit and preference, but BFUHS can still cancel it — for example, if you are found to have applied under the State Quota of another state/UT besides Punjab, as spelled out in the disclaimer.
I applied to my home state's quota and also Punjab's state quota — is that a problem?
Yes. The notice specifically warns that applying under the State Quota of more than one State/UT (other than Punjab) in Session 2026 can lead to cancellation of this provisional allotment without further notice.
What does the 'Allotted Quota' column actually affect?
It determines which fee structure applies to your seat — Government, Management, or NRI quota seats carry very different fee levels, so check this column carefully against what you expected to be allotted under.
My allotted category doesn't match what I applied under — what should I do?
This document does not list a grievance or correction process, so you should reach out to BFUHS directly through its official counselling helpdesk/portal to flag any discrepancy before you take further steps like fee payment or reporting.
My name is not on this list — am I out of the counselling process?
Not necessarily. This is only the Round 1 result. State counselling for MBBS/BDS in Punjab generally continues through further rounds, so keep monitoring the BFUHS admission website for updates on subsequent rounds.
What should I do next if I am allotted a seat?
This notice does not specify the reporting deadline or document checklist for joining the allotted college. Watch the official BFUHS portal for the follow-up circular, which should detail the reporting window, required documents, and fee payment process for Round 1 allottees.
If you were expecting a Punjab MBBS or BDS seat in this round, find your NEET roll number in the official BFUHS list right away and note down your allotted college, quota and category exactly as shown. Keep an eye on the BFUHS admission portal for the follow-up notice on reporting deadlines and required documents, and make sure you have not applied under more than one state's State Quota, since that alone can void this allotment.
