If you are a NEET UG 2026 qualifier hoping for a state quota MBBS or BDS seat in Haryana, the clock has started on the first and most important round of counselling. Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS), Rohtak, which conducts state counselling for Haryana, has opened fresh registration and choice filling for Round 1 on its portal, uhsrugcounselling.com. This round decides admission to 85 percent state quota seats in government, government-aided and private medical and dental colleges across the state, along with management quota seats open to non-domicile candidates. Missing the registration deadline or filing choices carelessly at this stage can cost a candidate a seat, so understanding the schedule and fee structure now matters.
Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 1 registration and choice filling closes on August 31 at 11:59 PM, and candidates must lock their college and course choices correctly the first time since no edits are allowed after submission.
What Round 1 covers
Round 1 of Haryana's NEET UG counselling is where the bulk of admissions happen. It covers 85 percent of seats reserved under the state quota across government, government-aided and private medical and dental colleges in Haryana, as well as management quota seats that candidates without Haryana domicile can also apply for.
Only students who have qualified NEET UG 2026 are eligible to register. There is no separate eligibility test for state counselling; your NEET UG rank and qualifying status are what the portal checks against.
Key dates to mark
The counselling timeline is tight, and each stage has a hard cut-off. Candidates should plan around these dates rather than leaving anything for the last day.
| Stage | Schedule |
|---|---|
| Fresh registration and choice filling | August 28 to August 31, 2026 (till 11:59 PM) |
| Provisional seat allotment result | September 2, 2026 |
| Fee deposit for allotted candidates | September 2 to September 5, 2026 (till 8:00 PM) |
| Physical document verification | September 6 to September 8, 2026 |
| Reporting/joining deadline at allotted college | September 9, 2026 (till 4:00 PM) |
Registration fee
The counselling registration fee is Rs 2,500 for General/Unreserved category candidates and Rs 1,250 for candidates under Haryana's SC, BC or EWS categories. This fee is paid online during registration and is non-refundable, so candidates should be certain about their intent to participate before paying.
How to register and what to keep ready
Registration happens entirely online on uhsrugcounselling.com. Candidates create an account with a valid email and mobile number, then fill in personal, academic and category details matching their NEET UG records, upload photograph, signature and category documents, pay the fee, and finally lock their college and course choices.
A crucial point: the portal does not allow edits to submitted particulars afterward. Any mismatch between what you entered and your official documents can cause trouble at the verification stage, so double-check every field — name spelling, category, domicile status, marks — before hitting submit.
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card
- Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and passing certificates
- Haryana domicile certificate, where applicable
- Category certificate for SC or Other SC Deprived candidates
- Creamy/Non-Creamy Layer certificate for BCA and BCB candidates, issued after April 1, 2026
- Income and Asset certificate for EWS candidates, issued after April 1, 2026
- A valid government-issued photo ID
What this means for your admission strategy
Because Round 1 allots the vast majority of state quota seats, the choice-filling exercise deserves real thought rather than a rushed last-minute list. Aspirants should research each college's approximate NEET closing rank from previous years, arrange colleges in genuine order of preference, and avoid filling only 'safe' choices out of anxiety — a longer, well-ordered list improves the chance of getting matched to a preferred seat.
If a candidate is allotted a seat, the fee deposit window (September 2–5) and physical verification (September 6–8) are non-negotiable steps before joining by September 9. Skipping any of these can lead to forfeiture of the allotted seat, so families should keep travel and document logistics to Rohtak sorted well in advance rather than scrambling at the end.
