If you are a NEET UG 2026 qualifier hoping for an MBBS or BDS seat in Haryana, the first real step in that direction has just opened. Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS), Rohtak, which conducts state counselling for Haryana, has started fresh registration and choice filling for Round 1 on its official portal. This round decides admission to the 85 percent state quota seats in government, government-aided and private medical and dental colleges across the state, along with management quota seats for non-domicile candidates. Missing the registration window or making an error in your form at this stage can cost you a seat, so it is worth understanding the full timeline before you log in.
Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 1 registration and choice filling closes on August 31, 2026, and candidates cannot edit their submitted details afterward, so accuracy at entry matters more than usual.
What Round 1 covers and who can apply
Round 1 of Haryana's state counselling is open only to candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026. It covers 85 percent of seats reserved under the state quota in government, government-aided and private medical and dental colleges in Haryana, plus management quota seats meant for candidates who do not hold Haryana domicile.
This means both Haryana-domicile candidates competing for state quota seats and outside-state candidates eyeing management quota seats in private colleges need to register in this same window if they want to be considered.
Key dates to mark right now
The schedule released by UHS Rohtak is tight, and each stage has a hard deadline. Missing any one of these can mean losing the seat allotted to you or being pushed out of the round entirely.
| Stage | Dates |
|---|---|
| Fresh registration and choice filling | August 28 to August 31, 2026 (till 11:59 PM) |
| Provisional seat allotment result | September 2, 2026 |
| Fee deposit by allotted candidates | September 2 to September 5, 2026 (till 8:00 PM) |
| Physical document verification | September 6 to September 8, 2026 |
| Joining deadline at allotted college | September 9, 2026 (till 4:00 PM) |
Registration fee by category
The counselling fee is Rs 2,500 for General/Unreserved candidates and Rs 1,250 for candidates from Haryana's SC, BC or EWS categories. This fee is paid online at the time of registration and is non-refundable, so candidates should be certain about participating before making the payment.
Why the 'no edits after submission' rule matters
UHS Rohtak has been explicit that once a candidate locks their registration and choices, no changes are permitted. In past counselling cycles across states, small errors in category, domicile status or academic details entered at registration have led to rejection during physical verification — even for candidates who were otherwise eligible.
This makes it essential to treat the registration form as a final document, not a draft. Every field — name spelling as per NEET records, category, domicile status, subcategory like BC-A or BC-B, EWS status — should match your certificates exactly before you hit submit.
Documents to keep ready before reporting
Candidates allotted a seat must report for physical verification with originals and copies of the following documents. Preparing these scans and photocopies now, rather than after allotment, saves time during the narrow verification window.
- 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 BC-A and BC-B candidates, issued after April 1, 2026
- Income and Asset certificate for EWS candidates, issued after April 1, 2026
- A valid government-issued photo ID
Practical checklist for the next few days
Given how short this registration window is, aspirants should move through a simple sequence rather than leaving anything to the last day.
- Complete fresh registration and lock choices on uhsrugcounselling.com before August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM
- Scan photograph, signature and all relevant certificates in advance in the required format and size
- Cross-check every entered detail — especially category and domicile — before final submission
- If allotted a seat on September 2, pay the fee by September 5, 8:00 PM without delay
- Report in person to Pt. B.D. Sharma University, Rohtak, with originals between September 6 and 8
- Complete joining formalities at the allotted college by September 9, 4:00 PM
