Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak (the authority running NEET UG counselling for Haryana) has announced a critical deadline for candidates who joined MBBS or BDS seats in Round 1 of counselling. If you have already been allotted a seat and joined a college, but now wish to participate in Round 2 counselling or withdraw from your current seat, you must formally resign by 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. This resignation must be submitted in person at your allotted college — email resignations will not be accepted. Missing this deadline means you will lose the opportunity to move to a different seat in Round 2.
If you joined a Round 1 MBBS/BDS seat in Haryana and want to resign to try for a better college in Round 2, you must submit your resignation in person at your current college by 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM — email will not be accepted.
What is this notice about?
This is a resignation window announcement for candidates who have already joined (reported to) an MBBS or BDS college after Round 1 of Haryana's NEET UG 2026 counselling. After you join a college, your seat is locked. If you want to leave that seat and participate in Round 2 counselling (where more seats may be available or you may get a better college), you must formally resign from your current seat.
The notice sets a hard deadline: 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. After this time, resignations will not be accepted, and you will remain locked into your Round 1 seat. This is a one-time window — do not miss it if you plan to move.
Who does this apply to?
This notice applies only to candidates who have already joined (physically reported to) an MBBS or BDS college after Round 1 allotment. It covers all colleges in Haryana: government colleges, government-aided colleges, private colleges, and private/minority universities including SGT University (Budhera, Gurugram), Maharishi Markendeshwar University (Sadhopur, Ambala), Al-Falah University (Faridabad), and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences (Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University).
If you have not yet joined any college, or if you were not allotted a seat in Round 1, this notice does not apply to you. You will participate in Round 2 counselling directly without needing to resign.
The critical deadline: 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM
The resignation deadline is 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM (16:00 hours). This is a hard cutoff — resignations submitted after this time will not be accepted. The notice emphasizes that college offices must remain open on this date to allow candidates to submit resignations without hardship.
If you are unsure whether you want to resign, decide well before this deadline. Once 4:00 PM passes on 11 September, you cannot change your mind and resign. You will be locked into your Round 1 seat for the entire admission process.
- Resignation deadline: 11 September 2026
- Time: 4:00 PM (16:00 hours)
- No extensions — this is final
How to resign: in-person submission only
You must submit your resignation in person at your allotted college. Go to the college's admission office or the designated office handling resignations, and submit a written resignation request. Do not email, do not send by post, do not ask someone else to submit it on your behalf — the notice explicitly states that email resignations will not be considered.
The notice directs all college authorities to keep their offices open on 11 September to receive resignations. If you face any difficulty accessing the college office, contact the college administration immediately — they are required to accommodate you.
- Go to your allotted college in person
- Submit resignation to the admission office
- Bring any identification or allotment letter if requested
- Do NOT email or post your resignation
- Do NOT send someone else on your behalf
What happens after you resign?
Once you resign in person and your resignation is accepted by the college, your Round 1 seat is released back to the counselling authority. You will then be eligible to participate in Round 2 counselling. In Round 2, you can apply for any available seats (including seats vacated by other candidates who resigned, or new seats if the intake was increased).
Your resignation is final — you cannot rejoin the same college or seat after resigning. Make sure you are certain before you submit your resignation in person.
Why would you resign from a Round 1 seat?
Candidates resign from Round 1 seats for several reasons: they may have been allotted a college far from home, a college with a lower reputation, or a course (MBBS vs. BDS) they did not prefer. Round 2 counselling may offer seats at better-ranked colleges, colleges closer to home, or in the preferred course. However, there is also a risk — if you resign and no better seat is available in Round 2, you may end up without a seat at all.
Before resigning, check the expected Round 2 seat matrix (if available) to see what seats are likely to be available. Discuss with your parents and a counsellor. Resigning is a strategic decision — do not resign on impulse.
Important trap: email resignations are not accepted
The notice explicitly and repeatedly states: 'No emails will be considered for this purpose.' Many candidates make the mistake of emailing their resignation to the college or the counselling authority, thinking it is faster or safer. It is not. Email resignations will be ignored, and you will remain locked into your Round 1 seat.
This is a common rejection reason. You must go in person. There is no exception, no matter how far away the college is or how busy you are. If you cannot go in person by 4:00 PM on 11 September, you cannot resign.
- ⚠️ Email resignations will NOT be accepted
- ⚠️ Postal resignations will NOT be accepted
- ⚠️ Resignations through a third party will NOT be accepted
- ✅ Only in-person resignations at the college office count
Colleges covered by this notice
This resignation window applies to all MBBS and BDS colleges in Haryana, including government, government-aided, and private institutions. The notice specifically names the private/minority universities: SGT University (Budhera, Gurugram), Maharishi Markendeshwar University (Sadhopur, Ambala), Al-Falah University (Faridabad), and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences (Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University).
If you are unsure whether your college is covered, check the allotment letter or contact the college directly. All MBBS and BDS colleges in Haryana are included.
- Government medical and dental colleges
- Government-aided medical and dental colleges
- Private medical and dental colleges
- SGT University, Budhera, Gurugram
- Maharishi Markendeshwar University, Sadhopur, Ambala
- Al-Falah University, Faridabad
- Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar
What you need to bring
The notice does not specify what documents you must bring to resign. However, it is wise to carry your allotment letter, admission confirmation, and a valid ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence). Some colleges may ask for these to verify your identity and process your resignation. Call your college's admission office before you go to ask what documents they need.
Prepare a simple written resignation letter stating your name, roll number, allotted seat details, and the date. Keep it brief and professional. Bring two copies — one for the college and one for your records.
- Allotment letter
- Admission confirmation letter
- Valid ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence)
- Written resignation letter (2 copies)
- Any other document the college requests
What if you cannot reach your college by the deadline?
If you are unable to reach your college in person by 4:00 PM on 11 September due to genuine hardship (illness, travel, emergency), contact the college administration immediately and explain your situation. The notice directs colleges to 'ensure that the concerned office is open for the same to avoid any hardship to the candidates,' which suggests some flexibility for genuine cases.
However, do not rely on this. The safest approach is to plan your visit well in advance and reach the college office before the deadline. If you are out of station, arrange for a trusted family member or friend to submit your resignation in person on your behalf — but note that the notice says resignations must be submitted 'in person,' which may mean by the candidate themselves. Call the college to clarify whether a representative can submit on your behalf.
Timeline and next steps
The resignation window is open from now (10 September 2026, the date of this notice) until 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. This is a very short window — only about 24 hours. If you are considering resigning, act immediately.
After the resignation deadline, the counselling authority will process resignations and prepare the Round 2 seat matrix. Round 2 counselling will then begin (exact dates will be announced separately). Candidates who resigned will be eligible to participate in Round 2.
- Resignation window: 10–11 September 2026
- Deadline: 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM
- After deadline: Round 2 counselling will proceed
- Eligible candidates: those who resigned will participate in Round 2

Yes, you can resign from your Round 1 seat to participate in Round 2 counselling. However, you must resign in person at your allotted college by 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. After you resign, your seat is released, and you can apply for available seats in Round 2. Be aware that if no better seat is available in Round 2, you may end up without a seat.
What is the deadline to resign, and is it final?
The deadline is 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. This is a hard cutoff — no resignations will be accepted after this time. Once the deadline passes, you cannot resign, and you will remain locked into your Round 1 seat for the entire admission process.
Can I email my resignation to the college or the counselling authority?
No. The notice explicitly states that email resignations will not be considered. You must submit your resignation in person at your allotted college's admission office. This is non-negotiable.
Can someone else submit my resignation on my behalf?
The notice states that resignations must be submitted 'in person' at the college. It is unclear whether a representative can submit on your behalf. To be safe, go in person yourself. If you cannot, call your college's admission office and ask whether they will accept a resignation from a family member or authorized representative.
What documents do I need to bring to resign?
The notice does not specify required documents. However, bring your allotment letter, admission confirmation, a valid ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence), and a written resignation letter. Call your college's admission office before you go to confirm what they need.
What happens after I resign? Will I automatically get a seat in Round 2?
After you resign, your seat is released back to the counselling authority, and you become eligible for Round 2 counselling. However, you will not automatically get a seat — you will have to participate in Round 2 counselling and compete for available seats based on your rank and preferences. There is no guarantee you will get a better seat.
I am out of station and cannot reach my college by 11 September 4 PM. What should I do?
Contact your college's admission office immediately and explain your situation. The notice directs colleges to keep offices open to avoid hardship to candidates, which suggests some flexibility for genuine cases. However, do not rely on this — plan to reach the college before the deadline if possible. Ask the college whether a family member or representative can submit your resignation on your behalf.
If I resign, can I rejoin the same college later?
No. Once you resign, your resignation is final. You cannot rejoin the same college or seat. Make sure you are certain before you submit your resignation in person.
Does this resignation window apply to all MBBS and BDS colleges in Haryana?
Yes. This applies to all government, government-aided, and private MBBS and BDS colleges in Haryana, including private universities like SGT University, Maharishi Markendeshwar University, Al-Falah University, and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences.
What if I miss the 11 September deadline?
If you miss the deadline, you cannot resign. You will remain locked into your Round 1 seat, and you will not be able to participate in Round 2 counselling. You will have to join the college you were allotted in Round 1.
If you joined an MBBS or BDS seat in Haryana's Round 1 counselling and wish to resign to try for a better college in Round 2, you must act immediately. Visit your allotted college's admission office in person and submit a written resignation by 11 September 2026 at 4:00 PM. Email and postal resignations will not be accepted. Do not delay — this is a one-time window, and missing the deadline means you cannot resign. After the deadline, the counselling authority will process resignations and announce Round 2 counselling dates.
