Haryana NEET UG Counselling 2026: Round 1 Registration Window, Fee and Key Dates Explained

If you cleared NEET UG 2026 and are hoping for an MBBS or BDS seat through Haryana's state quota, the first counselling round has now begun. Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS), Rohtak, which conducts Haryana's medical and dental admissions, has opened registration and choice filling for Round 1 on its portal. This round decides seats for 85% of state quota berths across government, government-aided and private colleges in Haryana, plus 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's worth understanding the process before you log in.

What This Round Covers

Round 1 of Haryana's NEET UG counselling is meant to fill the bulk of state quota MBBS and BDS seats — about 85% of seats in government, government-aided and private medical/dental colleges in the state. It also includes management quota seats reserved for candidates who do not hold Haryana domicile, which are bundled into this same round rather than run separately.

Only candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 can register. Simply having a NEET score is not enough by itself — you still need to register, fill choices and lock them within the window to be considered for allotment.

Key Dates to Remember

The counselling timeline is tight, so it helps to mark these dates clearly and plan around them rather than leaving tasks for the last day.

Registration Fee and Category Rules

The counselling registration fee is Rs 2,500 for General/Unreserved candidates and Rs 1,250 for Haryana SC, BC or EWS category candidates. This amount is non-refundable and has to be paid online during registration itself — it is not linked to whether you eventually get a seat allotment, so treat it as a cost of participating in the process, not a guarantee of one.

Since the fee differs by category, make sure your category is entered correctly and matches the certificates you hold. An error here, especially one that isn't caught before final submission, can create complications during document verification.

How to Register — Step by Step

The entire process, from registration to choice locking, happens online on the official portal. Here is the sequence candidates need to follow.

• Go to uhsrugcounselling.com and select the fresh registration link for Round 1.
• Create an account using a valid email ID and mobile number you can access throughout counselling.
• Enter personal, academic and category details exactly as they appear in your NEET UG records.
• Upload your photograph, signature and relevant category/domicile documents.
• Pay the counselling fee online through the portal's payment gateway.
• Fill college and course preferences, then lock them carefully — this cannot be changed once submitted.

Documents to Keep Ready

Physical document verification happens between September 6 and 8 at Pt. B.D. Sharma University, Rohtak, for candidates who get a provisional seat allotment. Keep both scanned copies (for upload) and original hard copies (for verification) organised well in advance.

• 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

Why the 'No Edits After Submission' Rule Matters

UHS Rohtak has been explicit that once you submit your registration details, no corrections will be permitted. This is a common feature of state counselling portals, but candidates often overlook it under time pressure near the deadline.

Practically, this means you should fill the form calmly, cross-check every entry — name spelling, category, domicile status, choice order — against your original documents before hitting submit. A mismatch discovered only at verification stage in September can lead to a seat being withheld or cancelled, which is far more stressful than spending extra time now.

Frequently asked questions

Haryana NEET UG aspirants with a valid rank should register and lock choices before August 31 rather than waiting till the last hour, given that no corrections are allowed post-submission. Keep documents scanned and originals ready now, since the gap between allotment on September 2 and the joining deadline on September 9 is short.
