Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), which runs Delhi's 85% state-quota counselling for MBBS (Code 103), has extended a deadline that affects every NEET UG 2026-qualified candidate wanting an MBBS seat through this counselling. Candidates who have not yet registered on the GGSIPU online counselling portal, paid the counselling fee, or uploaded their NEET UG 2026 score card must now complete this by 24 August 2026. Candidates who have already done this must fill their choices/preferences — a compulsory step for seat allotment — also by 24 August 2026. This is an extension notice (Notification No. 206/2026, dated 21 August 2026), continuing an earlier notification dated 17 August 2026. GGSIPU has also announced that Round 1 result is tentatively expected on 25 August 2026, in line with the Medical Counselling Committee's (MCC) revised national schedule.
If you want an MBBS seat through GGSIPU's Delhi state-quota counselling, you must complete registration/fee payment/document upload (if not already done) AND fill your choices — both by 24 August 2026, 11:59 pm — or you will not be considered for Round 1 seat allotment.
What exactly has been extended
GGSIPU had earlier opened a window for NEET UG 2026-qualified candidates to register afresh (if not already registered), correct/edit their earlier entries, and mandatorily upload their educational testimonials (academic certificates), reserved category documents, and NEET UG 2026 score card, followed by filling of choices/preferences for seat allotment. That window's closing date has now been pushed forward.
This extension applies to MBBS admissions under Programme Code 103 for the Academic Session 2026-27, and covers two distinct groups of candidates with two distinct sets of tasks — explained below.
Who needs to do what — two separate tracks
The notice splits candidates into two categories depending on how far they had already progressed in the GGSIPU online counselling process. Read carefully to identify which one applies to you.
- Track 1 — Not yet registered / not paid fee / not uploaded score card: If you have NOT registered on the GGSIPU online counselling portal, or have NOT paid the counselling fee of Rs 2,500/-, or have NOT uploaded your NEET UG 2026 score card, you must complete registration, pay the Rs 2,500/- fee, and upload mandatory documents including the NEET UG 2026 score card.
- Track 2 — Already registered, paid, and uploaded: If you have already registered on the GGSIPU portal, paid the Rs 2,500/- fee, and uploaded your NEET UG 2026 score card, your remaining task is to fill your choices/preferences. This step is compulsory — without it, you cannot be considered for seat allotment even if everything else is complete.
Revised schedule
Both activities now run on the same start and closing dates, but note the closing times differ by a few minutes — pay attention to the exact cut-off for your track.
| Category | Activity | Starting Date | Closing Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not yet registered / not paid fee / not uploaded score card | Registration, payment of Rs 2,500/- fee, and uploading of mandatory documents including NEET 2026 score card | 19.08.2026 (4:00 pm) | 24.08.2026 (11:30 pm) |
| Already registered, paid fee, and uploaded score card | Filling of choices/preferences (compulsory for allotment of seat) | 19.08.2026 (4:00 pm) | 24.08.2026 (11:59 pm) |
| All qualified candidates | Tentative declaration of Round 1 result | — | 25.08.2026 |
Why the Round 1 result date matters
GGSIPU says the tentative Round 1 result date of 25 August 2026 is set in accordance with the Medical Counselling Committee's (MCC) notification titled 'Revised AIQ and State Schedule for Round 1 of UG Counselling 2026', dated 19 August 2026. This means GGSIPU's own schedule for Delhi's state quota is being aligned with the national counselling calendar that also governs the All-India Quota (AIQ) round.
The notice states that the detailed procedure to be followed after the Round 1 result is declared will be notified separately by the University in due course. Candidates should watch for that follow-up notification rather than assuming the process — it has not yet been published.
What this notice does not change
This is only an extension notice. All other information, terms and conditions from the University's earlier notification No. 193/2026 dated 17 August 2026, and from the Admission Brochure 2026-27, continue to apply unchanged. That includes the full list of educational testimonials and reserved category documents required, the exact fee payment process, and general eligibility conditions.
Because this notice does not repeat that full document checklist, candidates who have not already reviewed notification 193/2026 or the Admission Brochure 2026-27 should do so before the deadline, so they know precisely which certificates and category documents to upload alongside their NEET UG 2026 score card.
A few terms explained
Some counselling terms in this notice can be confusing if you are going through this for the first time. Here is what they mean in plain language.
- GGSIPU online counselling portal — the website where candidates register for Delhi's 85% state-quota MBBS seats and later fill their college/course choices for seat allotment.
- Correction/Edit window — a limited time period during which candidates can go back into their submitted registration and fix mistakes or update information.
- Educational testimonials — official academic certificates and mark sheets proving your qualifying examinations.
- Reserved category documents — certificates (such as caste, EWS, or disability certificates) that prove eligibility for a reservation category, required only if you are claiming a reserved-category seat.
- Choices/preferences — the ranked list of colleges and courses you submit; seat allotment is done based on this list, your NEET rank, and category, so filling it is compulsory even if you have already registered and paid the fee.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I already registered and paid the Rs 2,500 fee on GGSIPU's portal. Do I still need to do anything by 24 August?
Yes. If you have already registered, paid the fee, and uploaded your NEET UG 2026 score card, your remaining compulsory task is to fill your choices/preferences by 24.08.2026, 11:59 pm. Without this step you cannot be considered for seat allotment.
I haven't registered on the GGSIPU portal at all yet. Is it too late?
No, this extension is specifically for candidates who have not yet registered, paid the fee, or uploaded documents. You have until 24.08.2026, 11:30 pm to register, pay the Rs 2,500/- fee, and upload mandatory documents including your NEET UG 2026 score card.
What documents do I need to upload besides the NEET UG 2026 score card?
This notice mentions educational testimonials and reserved category documents as mandatory uploads, but the full detailed checklist is given in the University's earlier notification No. 193/2026 dated 17.08.2026 and the Admission Brochure 2026-27. Check those documents for the exact list before uploading.
When will Round 1 results be declared?
The tentative date given is 25 August 2026, in line with the Medical Counselling Committee's revised AIQ and State schedule for Round 1 of UG Counselling 2026, dated 19 August 2026. GGSIPU has called this date 'tentative', so candidates should keep checking for any further update.
What happens after the Round 1 result is declared?
The notice says the detailed procedure to be followed after the Round 1 result is announced will be notified separately by the University in due course. It has not been published yet as part of this notice.
Is this notice only for MBBS, or does it cover other courses too?
This particular notification is specifically for Programme Code 103, which is MBBS. GGSIPU also runs NEET-based counselling for other programmes like BAMS, BHMS and B.Sc Nursing, but those are covered under separate notices, not this one.
Does GGSIPU counsel for BDS seats too?
No. This notice and GGSIPU's Code 103 counselling relate to MBBS only; GGSIPU does not run a BDS programme under this notification.
Where can I check the exact terms and conditions that still apply?
The notice directs candidates to the University's earlier notification No. 193/2026 dated 17.08.2026 and the Admission Brochure 2026-27, both available on the University website (www.ipu.ac.in) and the admissions portal (https://ipu.admissions.nic.in).
If you are aiming for an MBBS seat through GGSIPU's Delhi state-quota counselling, act now: complete whichever step applies to you — registration, fee payment and document upload, or choice-filling — well before the 24 August 2026 cut-off. Keep checking the GGSIPU website and admissions portal for the promised follow-up notice on the post-Round-1 procedure.
