Haryana's Directorate of Medical Education & Research (DMER) has released the revised tentative vacant seat matrix for Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling as of 11 September 2026. This matrix shows exactly how many seats remain unfilled across all MBBS and BDS colleges in Haryana—government, government-aided, private, and private university institutions—broken down by category and quota. A total of 1,505 seats are available across 20 colleges (7 BDS and 13 MBBS). Importantly, 50 new seats have been added at Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar, subject to court approval. This is your roadmap for Round 2 choice filling: knowing which colleges have seats in your category directly affects your chances of getting a seat.
1,505 total MBBS/BDS seats are available in Haryana Round 2 counselling across 20 colleges, with 50 newly added seats at Sanskaram Jhajjar; check the matrix for your category quota before filling choices.
What is this vacant seat matrix and why does it matter?
A vacant seat matrix is a detailed table showing exactly how many unfilled seats exist at each college, broken down by category and quota. After Round 1 of counselling, some candidates either did not join or withdrew, leaving seats empty. This revised matrix (dated 11 September 2026) reflects those vacancies and is the basis for Round 2 choice filling and allotment.
Why it matters to you: if you did not get a seat in Round 1, or if you are eligible for Round 2, this matrix tells you precisely where seats exist in your category. For example, if you are an OBC candidate, you can see exactly how many OBC seats are vacant at each college. Filling choices only at colleges where your category has seats dramatically improves your chances of allotment. Colleges with zero seats in your category will not allot you a seat, no matter how high your rank.
Total seats available: 1,505 across MBBS and BDS
Haryana is offering a total of 1,505 seats in Round 2 counselling for NEET UG 2026. Of these, 7 colleges offer BDS (Dental) courses with 289 total seats, and 13 colleges offer MBBS (Medical) courses with 1,216 total seats. These seats span government institutions, government-aided colleges, private colleges, and private universities (SGT University, Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Al-Falah University, and Sanskaram University).
The seat distribution is not uniform: some colleges have many more seats than others. For instance, NC Medical College & Hospital, Israna (Panipat) has 179 MBBS seats, while Maharishi Chyawan Government Medical College, Koriawas has only 15 MBBS seats. Similarly, PGIDS Rohtak has 42 BDS seats, while SGT Dental College has 42 BDS seats. Understanding the size of each college helps you prioritize your choices.
Understanding the category and quota columns
The matrix breaks down seats into multiple categories and quotas. These are the main ones you will see: OPEN_CAT (General/Open category), OSC (Other State Candidates), SC_DEPRIVED (Scheduled Caste Deprived), BCA (Backward Caste A), BCB (Backward Caste B), EWS (Economically Weaker Section), NRI (Non-Resident Indian), MGT (Management quota), and MINORITY (Minority institution quota). Each category also has sub-quotas: _PWBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability) and _ESM_FF (Ex-Servicemen and Freedom Fighters).
For example, if you are a General category candidate, look at the OPEN_CAT column. If you are SC and deprived, look at SC_DEPRIVED. If you are EWS, look at EWS. If you are a person with disability in the General category, look at OPEN_CAT_PWBD. The number in each cell is the count of vacant seats in that specific category at that specific college. A '0' means no seats are vacant in that category at that college for Round 2.
- OPEN_CAT: General category seats
- OPEN_CAT_PWBD: General category seats reserved for persons with benchmark disability
- OPEN_CAT_ESM_FF: General category seats for ex-servicemen and freedom fighters
- OSC: Other State Candidates (candidates from outside Haryana)
- OSC_PWBD: OSC seats for persons with disability
- OSC_ESM_FF: OSC seats for ex-servicemen and freedom fighters
- SC_DEPRIVED: Scheduled Caste Deprived category seats
- SC_DEPRIVED_PWBD: SC Deprived seats for persons with disability
- SC_DEPRIVED_ESM_FF: SC Deprived seats for ex-servicemen and freedom fighters
- BCA, BCA_PWBD, BCA_ESM_FF: Backward Caste A category and sub-quotas
- BCB, BCB_PWBD, BCB_ESM_FF: Backward Caste B category and sub-quotas
- EWS, EWS_PWBD, EWS_ESM_FF: Economically Weaker Section and sub-quotas
- NRI: Non-Resident Indian quota
- MGT: Management quota (private colleges only)
- MINORITY: Minority institution quota (Al-Falah University only)
BDS (Dental) colleges and vacant seats
Seven dental colleges in Haryana are participating in Round 2 counselling with a combined 289 BDS seats. These are: PGIDS Rohtak (42 seats), Jan Nayak Ch. Devi Lal Dental College Sirsa (44 seats), J.N.

The largest BDS colleges by seat count are Swami Devi Dayal (62 seats) and Yamuna Institute (60 seats). The smallest is J.N. Kapoor D.A.V Centenary (32 seats). When filling your BDS choices, cross-reference the matrix to see which colleges have vacant seats in your specific category. For instance, if you are an EWS candidate, check the EWS column for each dental college to see where seats are available.
- PGIDS, Rohtak: 42 BDS seats
- Jan Nayak Ch. Devi Lal Dental College, Sirsa: 44 BDS seats
- J.N. Kapoor D.A.V Centenary Dental College, Yamunanagar: 32 BDS seats

- SGT Dental College, Gurugram: 42 BDS seats
MBBS (Medical) colleges and vacant seats
Thirteen medical colleges in Haryana are offering MBBS seats in Round 2, with a combined 1,216 seats. These include government colleges (Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma PGIMS Rohtak, Bhagat Phool Singh Govt. Medical College for Women Sonepat, Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Govt. Medical College Nalhar, Kalpana Chawla Govt. Medical College Karnal, Maharishi Chyawan Govt. Medical College Narnaul, Pt. Neki Ram Sharma Govt. Medical College Bhiwani, Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee Govt. Medical College Faridabad), government-aided colleges (ESIC Medical College Faridabad), private colleges (Adesh Medical College Kurukshetra, NC Medical College Panipat, World College of Medical Sciences Jhajjar), and private university colleges (SGT University Gurugram, Maharishi Markandeshwar University Ambala, Al-Falah University Faridabad, Sanskaram University Jhajjar).
The largest MBBS colleges by seat count are NC Medical College Panipat (179 seats), World College of Medical Sciences Jhajjar (160 seats), Adesh Medical College Kurukshetra (122 seats), and Maharishi Markandeshwar College Ambala (150 seats). The smallest are Maharishi Chyawan Govt. Medical College (15 seats) and Pt. Neki Ram Sharma Govt. Medical College (16 seats). Government colleges typically have lower total seats but strong General category representation, while private colleges have higher total seats with significant Management and NRI quotas.
- Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak: 27 MBBS seats
- Bhagat Phool Singh Govt. Medical College for Women, Sonepat: 16 MBBS seats
- Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Govt. Medical College, Nalhar: 20 MBBS seats
- Kalpana Chawla Govt. Medical College, Karnal: 16 MBBS seats
- Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Hisar: 25 MBBS seats
- ESIC Medical College, Faridabad: 14 MBBS seats
- Adesh Medical College & Hospital, Kurukshetra: 122 MBBS seats
- NC Medical College & Hospital, Panipat: 179 MBBS seats
- World College of Medical Sciences and Research, Jhajjar: 160 MBBS seats
- Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, SGT University, Gurugram: 110 MBBS seats
- Al-Falah School of Medical Science & Research Centre, Faridabad: 140 MBBS seats
- Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee Govt. Medical College, Faridabad: 27 MBBS seats
- Maharishi Markandeshwar College of Medical Sciences, Ambala: 150 MBBS seats
- Maharishi Chyawan Govt. Medical College, Narnaul: 15 MBBS seats
- Pt. Neki Ram Sharma Govt. Medical College, Bhiwani: 16 MBBS seats
- Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar: 139 MBBS seats (includes 50 newly added)
50 new seats added at Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar
A significant development: Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar (under Sanskaram University) has had 50 new MBBS seats added, increasing its total from 89 to 139 seats. However, this increase is subject to the final outcome of Civil Writ Petition (CWP) No. 30532 of 2025, which is pending in the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The court has granted an interim order permitting the admission of these additional 50 students, meaning they can be admitted now, but the final legal status depends on the court's final judgment.
What this means for you: if you are interested in Sanskaram Jhajjar, you have significantly more seats to compete for in Round 2. However, be aware that if the court later rules against the increase, those 50 seats may be withdrawn, and students admitted against them could face complications. The matrix reflects the current interim position (139 seats total). Check the Sanskaram row carefully: it shows 29 OPEN_CAT seats, 2 OSC seats, 1 SC_DEPRIVED seat, 22 EWS seats, 84 MGT (Management) seats, and 0 MINORITY seats, totalling 139.
- 50 new MBBS seats added at Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar
- Increase is subject to pending court case (CWP No. 30532 of 2025)
- Court has granted interim order allowing admission of these 50 students
- Final status depends on High Court's final judgment
- Sanskaram's total MBBS seats now: 139 (up from 89)
How to use this matrix to fill your Round 2 choices
Step 1: Identify your category. Are you General (OPEN_CAT), OBC (BCA or BCB), SC (SC_DEPRIVED), EWS, OSC, or do you have a disability (PWBD) or ex-serviceman/freedom fighter status (ESM_FF)? Write down your exact category code.
Step 2: Go through the matrix college by college. For each college, find the column matching your category. If the number is 0, that college has no vacant seats in your category—do not waste a choice on it. If the number is 1 or more, that college has seats available for you.
Step 3: List all colleges where your category has at least 1 vacant seat. Prioritize by preference: which colleges do you want most? Which are your backup options?
Step 4: Fill your choice list with as many colleges as possible where your category has seats. The notice explicitly advises: 'Candidates are advised to fill maximum number of choices.' More choices = higher chance of allotment. Do not leave choices blank.
Step 5: Remember that this matrix is 'tentative' and 'revised'—it reflects the position as of 11 September 2026. The notice states: 'Change if any will be uploaded before allocation of seats.' Check the counselling portal regularly for any updates before you finalize your choices.
- Identify your exact category (OPEN_CAT, BCA, BCB, SC_DEPRIVED, EWS, OSC, PWBD, ESM_FF, NRI, MGT, MINORITY)
- Check the matrix for your category at each college
- Only fill choices at colleges where your category has at least 1 vacant seat (number > 0)
- Fill the maximum number of choices possible
- Prioritize colleges by your preference
- Check the portal regularly for updates before finalizing choices
Important notes and caveats
The matrix is labelled 'Revised – Tentative'. This means it is the latest version as of 11 September 2026, but it is not final. Seats can change due to candidates joining or withdrawing, court orders, or administrative decisions. The notice explicitly states: 'Change if any will be uploaded before allocation of seats.' This means you must check the counselling portal (uhsrugcounselling.com) regularly, especially in the days immediately before choice filling closes and before allotment results are announced.
Al-Falah School of Medical Science & Research Centre, Faridabad (code 3011) shows 0 seats in all General, OBC, SC, and EWS categories, but 16 NRI seats and 76 MGT (Management) seats, totalling 140. This is a minority private university, so most of its seats are reserved for NRI and Management quota candidates. If you are a General or reserved category candidate, this college is unlikely to have seats for you.
The matrix includes colleges under private universities: SGT University (Gurugram), Maharishi Markandeshwar University (Ambala), Al-Falah University (Faridabad), and Sanskaram University (Jhajjar). These are recognized private universities, and their seats are part of the official counselling process. Do not confuse them with unrecognized private colleges.
- Matrix is 'Revised – Tentative' as of 11.09.2026; changes may occur before allotment
- Check the counselling portal regularly for updates
- Al-Falah University is a minority private university with mostly NRI and MGT seats
- Sanskaram's 50 new seats are subject to pending court case
- Private university colleges (SGT, Maharishi Markandeshwar, Al-Falah, Sanskaram) are recognized and part of official counselling

What happens next: Round 2 choice filling and allotment
After this matrix is released, the counselling portal will open for Round 2 choice filling. You will log in with your NEET roll number and password, and you will be asked to rank colleges and courses in order of preference. The portal will allow you to fill choices at any college listed in the matrix, but remember: only fill choices at colleges where your category has vacant seats (number > 0 in your category column). Filling choices at colleges with 0 seats in your category is a wasted choice.
After the choice-filling deadline, the allotment algorithm will run. It will match your rank, category, and choices against the available seats. If your rank and category qualify you for a seat at one of your chosen colleges, you will be allotted that seat. The allotment result will be published on the portal. You will then have a specified time window to report to your allotted college, pay fees, and complete admission formalities. If you do not report within the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate.
Important: this matrix is the basis for Round 2 allotment. If you are not allotted a seat in Round 2, there may be a Round 3 (mop-up round) with a fresh matrix of remaining vacant seats. However, do not count on it—fill your Round 2 choices carefully and completely.
- Round 2 choice filling will open on the counselling portal (uhsrugcounselling.com)
- Fill choices only at colleges where your category has vacant seats
- Fill the maximum number of choices possible
- Allotment will be based on your rank, category, and choices
- Allotment result will be published on the portal
- You must report to your allotted college within the specified deadline
- Failure to report will result in cancellation of your seat

What does 'vacant seat matrix' mean?
A vacant seat matrix is a detailed table showing how many unfilled seats remain at each college after Round 1 of counselling, broken down by category and quota. It tells you exactly where seats are available for your category. For example, if you are a General category candidate, the OPEN_CAT column shows how many General seats are vacant at each college. A '0' means no seats are vacant in that category at that college.
Why is this matrix 'revised' and 'tentative'?
'Revised' means this is the latest version as of 11 September 2026, replacing any earlier version. 'Tentative' means it is not final—seats can still change due to candidates joining or withdrawing, court orders, or administrative decisions. The notice states: 'Change if any will be uploaded before allocation of seats.' Check the portal regularly for updates.
How many total seats are available in Haryana Round 2 counselling?
A total of 1,505 seats are available: 289 BDS seats across 7 dental colleges, and 1,216 MBBS seats across 13 medical colleges. This includes government, government-aided, private, and private university institutions.
What are the 50 new seats added at Sanskaram Jhajjar?
Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar has had 50 new MBBS seats added, increasing its total from 89 to 139 seats.

How do I use this matrix to fill my Round 2 choices?
Step 1: Identify your category (OPEN_CAT, BCA, BCB, SC_DEPRIVED, EWS, OSC, PWBD, ESM_FF, NRI, MGT, or MINORITY). Step 2: Go through the matrix and find all colleges where your category has at least 1 vacant seat (number > 0). Step 3: Fill your choice list with as many of these colleges as possible, prioritized by your preference. Step 4: Do not fill choices at colleges with 0 seats in your category—they will not allot you a seat.
What is Al-Falah School of Medical Science, and why does it have 0 seats in General and reserved categories?
Al-Falah School of Medical Science & Research Centre, Faridabad is a minority private university. It has 0 seats in General (OPEN_CAT), OBC (BCA/BCB), SC (SC_DEPRIVED), and EWS categories. Its 140 total seats are reserved for NRI (16 seats), Management quota (76 seats), and Minority quota (48 seats). If you are a General or reserved category candidate, this college is unlikely to have seats for you.
What if I do not get a seat in Round 2?

Can the matrix change before Round 2 choice filling?
Yes. The notice states: 'Change if any will be uploaded before allocation of seats.' Seats can change due to candidates joining or withdrawing, court orders, or administrative decisions.

Their seats are part of the official NEET UG 2026 counselling process. Do not confuse them with unrecognized private colleges.
What does PWBD mean in the matrix?
PWBD stands for 'Persons with Benchmark Disability'. These are seats reserved for candidates with a recognized disability (as per the Persons with Disabilities Act). For example, OPEN_CAT_PWBD means General category seats reserved for persons with disability. If you have a disability certificate, you can apply for these seats.
What does ESM_FF mean in the matrix?

For example, OPEN_CAT_ESM_FF means General category seats reserved for ex-servicemen and freedom fighters. If you fall into this category, you can apply for these seats.
Which colleges have the most seats in my category?
