The University of Health Sciences Rohtak has opened Round 3 counselling for MBBS and BDS seats across Haryana colleges. If you did not secure a seat in earlier rounds or wish to upgrade, this is your next opportunity to participate in state quota and management quota admissions. Registration and choice filling are live until October 10, 2026, and you must pay a security deposit to remain eligible. Understanding the timeline, deposit rules, and fresh choice-filling requirement is critical to avoid missing this round.

Round 3 registration closes October 10, 2026; pay your category-specific security deposit and submit fresh choices—earlier preferences are cancelled.

What is Haryana Round 3 and who should apply?

Round 3 is the third phase of NEET UG counselling in Haryana, designed to fill vacant MBBS and BDS seats that remain after earlier allocation rounds. This round is open to all NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates, whether or not they participated in Rounds 1 and 2.

If you were not allotted a seat in Rounds 1 or 2, you can register fresh for Round 3 without any penalty. If you were already allotted a seat but wish to participate again (for example, to seek an upgrade to a better college or course), you must confirm your willingness to participate and can submit new choices. Candidates who were allotted seats but did not join are also eligible to apply in Round 3.

Registration and choice-filling window: September 28 to October 10

Online registration and choice filling opened on September 28, 2026, and will remain open until October 10, 2026, at 11:59 PM. This is a strict deadline; no late registrations or choice submissions will be accepted after this time. You must complete both registration and lock your choices within this window.

A critical point: if you participated in Rounds 1 or 2 and filled choices then, those preferences are now cancelled. You must fill fresh choices in Round 3. This gives you the opportunity to revise your college and course preferences based on the current vacant seat matrix and your updated strategy.

  • Registration opens: September 28, 2026
  • Choice filling closes: October 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM
  • Portal: uhsrugcounselling.com
  • Earlier round choices are automatically cancelled

Security deposit: Know your category and amount

To participate in Round 3, you must pay a non-refundable security deposit. The amount depends on your category and the type of college (government, aided, or private). This deposit is mandatory; without it, you will not be eligible for seat allotment.

For state quota seats in government or aided colleges, the deposit is ₹10,000 for general candidates and ₹5,000 for SC, SCD, BCA, BCB, EWS, and PwBD (persons with benchmark disability) candidates from Haryana. If you are applying for management quota seats in private colleges—regardless of your category—the deposit is ₹1,00,000. This higher amount reflects the private college fee structure and is forfeited if you do not join after allotment.

  • General category (state quota, govt/aided): ₹10,000
  • SC/SCD/BCA/BCB/EWS/PwBD (state quota, Haryana): ₹5,000
  • All candidates (management quota, private colleges): ₹1,00,000
  • Deposit is forfeited if you do not join after allotment
  • Deposit must be paid online during registration

What happens if you were already allotted a seat?

If you received a seat allotment in Round 1 or 2 but did not join, you do not need to register again for Round 3. However, you must log in to the portal and confirm your willingness to participate in Round 3. You can also indicate whether you wish to seek an upgrade to a different college or course. If you choose to participate, you will be considered for allotment based on your new choices and the available vacant seats.

If you were allotted a seat in an earlier round and did join, you cannot participate in Round 3. Your admission is final, and you must continue with that college and course.

  • Already allotted but did not join: confirm willingness and submit new choices
  • Already allotted and joined: cannot participate in Round 3
  • No need to re-register if you were allotted earlier; just log in and update preferences

How to prepare: Practical steps before October 10

Start by downloading the seat matrix from uhsrugcounselling.com and carefully reviewing all vacant MBBS and BDS seats. Note the colleges, courses, and quota types (state or management). Cross-reference this with your NEET score, category, and domicile status to identify colleges where you are likely to be eligible.

Arrange your security deposit in advance. If you are applying for state quota seats, confirm whether you qualify for the ₹5,000 or ₹10,000 deposit. If you are targeting management quota seats in private colleges, ensure you have ₹1,00,000 ready. Prepare all required documents: 10th and 12th mark sheets, NEET admit card, NEET result printout, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other documents your chosen colleges may require. Keep these documents in a folder and have them ready for verification on October 15–16.

  • Download and study the seat matrix carefully
  • Identify colleges where you are eligible based on your score and category
  • Arrange security deposit according to your category
  • Gather and organize all required documents
  • Plan your choice order: list colleges in realistic preference order
  • Set a reminder for October 10 to lock your choices before the deadline

What if you miss the October 10 deadline?

Missing the October 10 deadline means you cannot participate in Round 3. There is no grace period or late registration window. If you do not register and lock your choices by 11:59 PM on October 10, you will be ineligible for allotment in this round. Your only option would be to wait for a potential stray vacancy round (if announced) after October 17, but there is no guarantee such a round will occur.

To avoid this, mark October 10 on your calendar and complete your registration at least a day or two before the deadline. Do not wait until the last moment, as server congestion or technical issues could prevent you from submitting your choices in time.

  • No late registration or extensions are allowed
  • Missing the deadline means no Round 3 allotment
  • Register well before October 10 to avoid last-minute issues
  • A stray vacancy round may occur after October 17, but it is not guaranteed
