If you're a NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate hoping for an MBBS or BDS seat in Haryana, the state's counselling process has now begun. The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Haryana, working with Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHSR), Rohtak, opened Round 1 online registration on August 13, 2026, at uhsrugcounselling.com. This registration covers admission to the 85% state quota seats in government, government-aided and private medical/dental colleges in Haryana, as well as the management quota seats in private colleges. The window is short — just over a week — so candidates need to move quickly on documents and fee payment.
Eligible NEET UG 2026 candidates aiming for Haryana's state quota or private college seats must register at uhsrugcounselling.com between August 13 and 22, 2026, with domicile status deciding which category of seats they can compete for.
What this registration is for
State counselling is separate from the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Each state runs its own process for the 85% of MBBS/BDS seats in government and government-aided colleges reserved for candidates domiciled in that state, plus seats in private colleges within the state.
Haryana's Round 1 registration lets NEET-qualified candidates apply for these state-level seats. Domicile — meaning you hold a valid Haryana residence certificate — is compulsory if you want to compete for government or aided college seats under the state quota. Candidates without Haryana domicile can still apply, but only for management quota seats in private medical and dental colleges.
Who can apply: eligibility at a glance
The eligibility conditions are straightforward and match the general NEET UG framework, with one state-specific addition on domicile.
- Must have qualified NEET UG 2026 with the required cutoff/percentile score.
- Minimum age of 17 years as on December 31, 2026.
- Must have passed Class 12 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as core subjects, with qualifying marks.
- Haryana domicile certificate is mandatory for state quota seats in government/aided colleges.
- Non-domicile candidates can apply for private college management quota seats only.
Registration fee and how to apply
The registration fee is Rs 2,500 for General/Unreserved candidates and Rs 1,250 for Haryana SC/BC/EWS candidates. This fee is non-refundable, so double-check your category and document readiness before paying.
To register, candidates need to create a profile on the portal using their NEET UG roll number, application number and date of birth, then fill in personal, domicile and academic details, upload scanned documents, pay the fee online, and download the submitted form for their records.
- Documents typically needed: Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets, NEET UG scorecard, domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), and a recent photograph.
- Keep both soft and hard copies ready — physical verification follows later in the process.
Round 1 schedule to track
The counselling moves quickly once registration closes, so it helps to mark these stages on a calendar.
| Stage | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Online registration & document upload | August 13 – August 22, 2026 |
| Registration fee payment | August 13 – August 22, 2026 |
| State merit list declaration | Mid-August 2026 |
| Choice filling & locking | Mid to late August 2026 |
| Provisional seat allotment result | Late August 2026 |
| Physical document verification & admission | August 22 – August 28, 2026 |
What this means for your admission planning
Because the merit list, choice filling and allotment all happen within roughly two weeks of registration opening, there is little room for last-minute scrambling. Candidates should have their domicile certificate and category proofs finalised well before August 22 rather than trying to arrange them after the merit list is out.
Non-domicile candidates should be realistic about their options: without a Haryana domicile certificate, government and aided college state quota seats are not available to you, but private college management quota seats remain open. Factor in that management quota fees are usually significantly higher than government college fees when comparing this route against your AIQ or home-state options.
Remember that state counselling and AIQ counselling run on separate timelines and portals. If you are also registered for AIQ, track both processes so you don't miss a choice-filling or verification deadline on either side.

Who is eligible for Haryana's NEET UG 2026 Round 1 counselling?
Any candidate who has qualified NEET UG 2026, is at least 17 years old as on December 31, 2026, and has passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English. A Haryana domicile certificate is required for state quota seats in government or aided colleges.
Can a candidate without Haryana domicile apply?
Yes, but only for management quota seats in private medical and dental colleges in Haryana, not for the 85% state quota seats in government or aided colleges.
What is the registration fee?
Rs 2,500 for General/Unreserved candidates and Rs 1,250 for candidates under Haryana's SC, BC or EWS categories. The fee is non-refundable.
What is the last date to register for Round 1?
Registration and fee payment are open from August 13 to August 22, 2026, on uhsrugcounselling.com.

What documents should I keep ready?
Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, your NEET UG scorecard, domicile certificate, category certificate if applicable, and a recent photograph, in scanned form for upload and physical copies for later verification.
Is this the same as All India Quota counselling?
No. This is Haryana's own state counselling for its 85% state quota and private college seats, run separately from the MCC-run All India Quota process. Candidates eligible for both should track each portal's deadlines independently.
If you're eyeing a Haryana MBBS or BDS seat, don't let the short registration window catch you off guard — get your domicile certificate, mark sheets and NEET scorecard scanned and ready before August 22. Watch uhsrugcounselling.com for the merit list and choice-filling dates, and compare this timeline against your AIQ status before locking in your choices.
