Haryana NEET UG 2026: Non-Haryana Class 12 Students Must Submit Affidavit

Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak — the authority running MBBS and BDS counselling for Haryana — has issued a mandatory requirement for all candidates who passed Class 12 from outside Haryana. These students must submit a notarised affidavit from their parent or guardian before they can be considered for admission to government, government-aided, or private medical and dental colleges in Haryana (including private universities like SGT, Maharishi Markandeshwar, Al-Falah, and Sanskaram). The affidavit must declare that neither the parent nor the student has previously claimed residency benefits in any other state. This is a critical document — missing it will likely result in rejection of your application during counselling.

Who Must Submit This Affidavit

This requirement applies only to candidates who passed their Class 12 examination from a school located outside Haryana. If you completed Class 12 in Haryana, you do not need to submit this affidavit.

The affidavit is required regardless of whether you are applying to government colleges, government-aided colleges, private colleges, or colleges under private universities (SGT University Budhera, Maharishi Markandeshwar University Sadhopur, Al-Falah University, or Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences). It applies to both MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026-27 academic session.

• Passed Class 12 outside Haryana → affidavit required
• Passed Class 12 in Haryana → no affidavit needed
• Applies to all college types: government, aided, private, and private university institutions
• Required for both MBBS and BDS courses

What the Affidavit Must Declare

The affidavit is a legal statement from your parent or guardian (the 'deponent') that must declare two things: (1) that the deponent (your parent/guardian) has not availed of the benefit of 'Residence in any other State,' and (2) that you, the child/ward, have also not availed of this benefit.

In plain terms, this means your parent/guardian is confirming that neither they nor you have previously claimed or used any state residency quota, concession, or benefit in any other state. This is a residency eligibility check — Haryana wants to ensure you are not claiming residency benefits in multiple states simultaneously.

• Parent/guardian declares they have NOT claimed residency benefits in any other state
• Parent/guardian declares you (the candidate) have NOT claimed residency benefits in any other state
• This is a legal statement — false declaration can have serious consequences

Who Must Attest (Sign and Verify) the Affidavit

The affidavit must be attested by one of three authorized officials. This means the document must be signed and verified by someone with legal authority to do so. The three acceptable attesters are: (1) an Executive Magistrate, (2) an Oath Commissioner, or (3) a Notary Public.

You cannot simply have a parent or a school principal sign it — it must be a legally authorized person. These officials are available in most district courts, municipal offices, and private notary offices. The attester's role is to verify the identity of the deponent (your parent/guardian) and confirm they are making this statement voluntarily and truthfully.

• Executive Magistrate (available at district courts and government offices)
• Oath Commissioner (available at district courts)
• Notary Public (available at private notary offices and some government offices)

The Affidavit Format and Where to Find It

You do not need to write the affidavit yourself. The exact format and wording have been provided by the Government of Haryana in an official notification dated 27.08.2026. The format is attached as Annexure IV (A) to that notification.

To obtain the correct format, you must access the Government of Haryana Notification dated 27.08.2026 and download Annexure IV (A). This ensures your affidavit is in the exact wording and structure that Haryana's admission authority will accept. Using a different format or wording could result in rejection. Contact the Pt. B.D. Sharma UHS Rohtak counselling portal or the DMER Haryana office if you cannot locate this annexure.

• Format is in Government of Haryana Notification dated 27.08.2026, Annexure IV (A)
• Do not write your own affidavit — use the official format
• Download the format from the official notification or counselling portal
• Using a non-standard format may result in rejection

Step-by-Step Process to Obtain the Affidavit

Step 1: Download the official affidavit format from the Government of Haryana Notification dated 27.08.2026, Annexure IV (A). You can obtain this from the Pt. B.D. Sharma UHS Rohtak counselling website or by contacting DMER Haryana.

Step 2: Print the format and fill it out with your parent/guardian's details and your own details as required. Ensure all information is accurate and matches your official documents.

Step 3: Take the completed affidavit to an Executive Magistrate, Oath Commissioner, or Notary Public. Bring your parent/guardian with you (they are the deponent and must sign in front of the attester). Also bring identity proof for your parent/guardian.

Step 4: The attester will verify your parent/guardian's identity, witness their signature, and affix their official seal and signature on the affidavit. This makes it a legally valid document.

Step 5: Keep the original attested affidavit safe. You will need to submit it during the counselling registration or document verification process as instructed by the Pt. B.D. Sharma UHS Rohtak counselling portal.

• Download official format from Govt. of Haryana Notification 27.08.2026, Annexure IV (A)
• Print and fill with accurate details
• Visit an Executive Magistrate, Oath Commissioner, or Notary Public with your parent/guardian
• Bring parent/guardian's identity proof
• Get the affidavit signed, sealed, and attested
• Keep the original for submission during counselling

When and Where to Submit the Affidavit

The notice does not specify an exact deadline or submission method. However, as this is a mandatory document for counselling eligibility, you should prepare it well in advance — ideally before counselling registration opens.

You will likely need to submit it during the document verification stage of counselling, either by uploading a scanned copy to the counselling portal or by presenting the original during in-person verification. Watch the Pt. B.D. Sharma UHS Rohtak counselling portal for specific instructions on submission dates and methods. Do not wait until the last moment — getting an affidavit attested can take a few days.

• Prepare the affidavit before counselling registration opens
• Submission method and deadline will be announced on the counselling portal
• Likely required during document verification stage
• Keep both original and scanned copy ready

Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected

**Wrong attester:** The affidavit must be attested by an Executive Magistrate, Oath Commissioner, or Notary Public. If it is signed by a school principal, teacher, parent, or any other person, it will be rejected. This is the most common error.

**Wrong format:** Using a self-written affidavit or a format from the internet instead of the official Government of Haryana format (Annexure IV (A)) will result in rejection. Always use the exact format provided.

**Missing or incomplete details:** If the affidavit does not include your name, your parent/guardian's name, date of birth, or other required information, it will be rejected. Fill every field carefully.

**No seal or signature of attester:** The attester must sign and affix their official seal. An unsigned or unsealed affidavit is not valid.

**Submitted after deadline:** If you submit the affidavit after the counselling portal's deadline, your application may be rejected or you may lose your seat. Submit early.

**False declaration:** If the affidavit contains false information (e.g., you have actually claimed residency benefits in another state), this is a serious legal matter and can result in criminal charges, in addition to rejection of your application.

• ⚠️ Attester must be Executive Magistrate, Oath Commissioner, or Notary Public only
• ⚠️ Must use official Government of Haryana format (Annexure IV (A))
• ⚠️ All details must be complete and accurate
• ⚠️ Attester's seal and signature are mandatory
• ⚠️ Submit before the counselling portal deadline
• ⚠️ False declaration is a legal offense

This affidavit requirement applies to admission to MBBS and BDS courses in all medical and dental institutions in Haryana for the 2026-27 academic session. This includes:

It also includes colleges under private universities operating in Haryana: SGT University (Budhera, Gurugram), Maharishi Markandeshwar University (Sadhopur, Ambala), Al-Falah University (a minority private university), and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences (under Sanskaram University, Jhajjar).

Why This Requirement Exists

Haryana has residency-based quotas and benefits for MBBS and BDS admission. These are reserved for candidates who are genuine residents of Haryana or who have not claimed similar benefits in other states. This affidavit is a legal safeguard to prevent candidates from claiming residency benefits in multiple states simultaneously, which would be fraudulent.

By requiring this affidavit from candidates who studied Class 12 outside Haryana, the state ensures that only eligible candidates are considered for residency-based seats and benefits. This protects the integrity of the admission process and ensures fair allocation of seats to genuine Haryana residents.

• Prevents fraudulent claims of residency in multiple states
• Protects residency-based quota seats for genuine Haryana residents
• Ensures fair and transparent admission process
