Atal Medical & Research University (AMRU), Himachal Pradesh has released the final seat allocation list for the 2nd round of MBBS/BDS counselling based on NEET UG 2026. The list contains 360 allocated seats across government and private medical and dental colleges in Himachal Pradesh. All candidates who have received a seat allocation must report to their allotted institute on or before 18 September 2026. This is a critical deadline—failure to report will result in forfeiture of your seat. Additionally, if you have claimed any reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.), your admission is conditional on verification of your category certificates by the college's Admission Committee.

Report to your allotted college by 18 September 2026 with all valid, updated category certificates in the prescribed format, or your seat will be cancelled.

What is this final seat allocation list?

This is the official final seat allocation list released by AMRU for the 2nd round of NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in Himachal Pradesh. The list is system-generated and contains 360 candidates allocated to seats across 15+ medical and dental colleges in the state, including government institutions like Indira Gandhi Medical College Shimla, Dr Rajendra Prasad Govt Medical College Tanda, Dr Yashwant Parmar Govt Medical College Nahan, and private colleges like Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College and Bhojia Dental College.

Each entry in the list shows your merit number, application number, name, the institute you have been allotted to, the quota you applied under (HP Quota, NRI Quota, Management Quota), the category you applied under (General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.), and the quota and category you have been finally allotted. This is not a provisional list—it is final, and you must now take action to secure your admission.

Important dates and deadlines

The most critical date is **18 September 2026**. You must report to your allotted college on or before this date. Reporting means physically visiting the college with all required documents and completing the admission formalities. If you do not report by this deadline, your seat allocation will be cancelled and you will lose your seat, even if you have been allotted one.

The list was released on 16 September 2026, giving you only 2 days to arrange travel, gather documents, and report to your college. If your allotted college is far from your location, plan your travel immediately.

  • Final Seat Allocation List released: 16 September 2026
  • Last date to report to college: 18 September 2026 (on or before)
  • Failure to report by this date will result in automatic cancellation of your seat

How to find your name in the allocation list

The allocation list is arranged by merit number (column 2). Search for your name or application number in the list. The list contains 360 rows of candidates. Once you locate your entry, note the following columns carefully:

Column 5 shows the **Institute Name** where you have been allotted. Column 6 shows the **Applied Quota** (the quota category you chose during counselling registration). Column 7 shows the **Applied Category** (your reserved category, if any). Column 8 shows the **Allotted Quota** (the quota you have finally been given). Column 9 shows the **Allotted Category** (your final category allocation).

In many cases, the applied and allotted categories match. However, in some cases they differ—for example, a candidate who applied under SC category may be allotted under General category if the SC seats were filled. This is normal and you must accept the allotted category.

  • Search by your name or application number
  • Note your allotted institute name
  • Check your applied vs. allotted quota and category
  • If allotted category differs from applied, you have been adjusted to the next available category

Category certificates: the critical trap

⚠️ **This is the most common reason seats are cancelled.** If you have claimed any reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, Widows/Wards of Ex-Servicemen, Children of J&K Migrants, Physically Handicapped, Defence Personnel, Single Girl Child, Backward Area, IRDP/BPL), your admission is **NOT automatic**. Your seat is provisional and conditional on verification of your category certificate by the Admission Committee of your allotted college.

The notice explicitly states: **'In case of any discrepancy, outdated/invalid certificate, or non-submission of the prescribed document, the candidate shall not be entitled to claim the benefit of the respective category/quota.'** This means if your certificate is not in the prescribed format, is outdated, or is missing, you will lose your category benefit and may lose your seat entirely.

Before you report to college, ensure that every certificate you submitted during counselling registration is **valid, updated, and in the exact format specified in the AMRU Prospectus**. If any certificate is not in the correct format or is outdated, get it re-issued or re-prepared immediately. Do not wait until you reach the college.

  • Category certificates must be valid and in the prescribed format as per AMRU Prospectus
  • Outdated or invalid certificates will result in loss of category benefit
  • Non-submission of required documents will result in cancellation of category claim
  • Verification is done by the Admission Committee at the college—not by AMRU
  • Get all certificates updated or re-prepared BEFORE reporting to college

What documents and certificates do you need?

The notice does not list specific documents, but refers to the AMRU Prospectus for the prescribed format. However, based on standard NEET counselling practice, you will need to carry the following to your allotted college:

**Essential documents:** NEET UG 2026 admit card, NEET UG 2026 result/scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, passport-size photographs (4–6 copies), Aadhaar card or any government-issued ID, and your provisional allotment letter (which you must download from your candidate login on the AMRU portal).

**Category certificates (if applicable):** SC/ST/OBC certificate issued by the competent authority in your state, EWS certificate (if applicable), Widows/Wards of Ex-Servicemen certificate, Children of J&K Migrants certificate, Physically Handicapped certificate, Defence Personnel certificate, or any other category certificate you claimed. All certificates must be in the format specified in the Prospectus and must not be outdated.

**Important:** The notice states that 'Admission will not be considered without seat allocation of AMRU.' This means you must carry your provisional allotment letter downloaded from your login. Do not go to the college without this letter.

  • NEET admit card and result scorecard
  • 10th and 12th certificates and mark sheets
  • Passport-size photographs (4–6 copies)

Quotas and categories in this allocation

The allocation includes seats under multiple quotas and categories. **HP Quota** is the main quota for Himachal Pradesh residents and dominates the list. **NRI Quota** seats are also allocated for Non-Resident Indian candidates. **Management Quota** seats are allocated at private colleges.

Within each quota, candidates are allocated under various categories: **General** (unreserved), **SC** (Scheduled Caste), **ST** (Scheduled Tribe), **OBC** (Other Backward Class), **EWS** (Economically Weaker Section), **Widows/Wards of Ex-Servicemen**, **Children of J&K Migrants**, **Physically Handicapped**, **Defence Personnel/Wards/Wives of Defence Personnel**, **Single Girl Child**, **Backward Area**, and **IRDP/BPL**.

If you have been allotted under a reserved category, your admission is subject to verification of your category certificate. If your certificate is invalid or outdated, you will be adjusted to the General category (if a General seat is available) or your seat may be cancelled.

  • HP Quota: for Himachal Pradesh residents
  • NRI Quota: for Non-Resident Indian candidates
  • Management Quota: at private colleges
  • Categories: General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and special categories
  • Category verification is mandatory for all reserved category candidates

What happens if your allotted category differs from your applied category?

In the allocation list, you will see two category columns: 'Applied Category' and 'Allotted Category.' In many cases, these are the same. However, in some cases they differ. For example, a candidate who applied under SC category may be allotted under General category.

This happens when the reserved seats for your applied category are filled and you are adjusted to the next available category based on your merit rank. This is a normal part of the counselling process and you must accept the allotted category. You cannot request a change.

If you are allotted under a different category than you applied, you still need to carry your original category certificate to the college for verification. The college will verify your eligibility for the category you applied under, and if valid, may adjust your category accordingly in their records.

  • Applied category and allotted category may differ
  • This occurs when reserved seats are filled
  • You must accept the allotted category
  • Carry your original category certificate for verification
  • Do not request a change of category

**Step 1: Verify your allocation.** Search for your name in the final allocation list. Note your allotted college, quota, and category. Download your provisional allotment letter from your candidate login on the AMRU portal (amruhp.ac.in).

**Step 2: Check your category certificates.** If you have claimed any reserved category, verify that all your category certificates are valid, updated, and in the prescribed format as per the AMRU Prospectus. If any certificate is outdated or not in the correct format, get it re-issued or re-prepared immediately. Do not delay.

**Step 3: Gather all documents.** Collect your NEET admit card, result scorecard, 10th and 12th certificates, Aadhaar card, passport-size photographs, provisional allotment letter, and all category certificates.

**Step 4: Plan your travel.** Your allotted college is named in the allocation list. Find the college's address and contact details. Plan your travel to reach the college by 18 September 2026. If the college is far, arrange travel immediately.

**Step 5: Report to the college.** Visit your allotted college on or before 18 September 2026 with all documents. Complete the admission formalities as instructed by the college. Do not delay—the deadline is firm.

  • Search for your name in the allocation list

  • Verify all category certificates are valid and in prescribed format
  • Gather all required documents
  • Plan travel to your allotted college
  • Report to the college by 18 September 2026

What if you don't report by 18 September 2026?

If you do not report to your allotted college by 18 September 2026, your seat allocation will be automatically cancelled. You will lose your seat and will not be eligible for further counselling rounds in this session. Your seat will be offered to the next candidate in the merit list.

There is no grace period and no exceptions. The notice clearly states: 'Candidates are required to report at their respective allotted institutes on or before 18.09.2026.' This is a hard deadline.

If you have a genuine emergency (medical, family, etc.) that prevents you from reporting by this date, contact AMRU immediately at the phone number or email provided in the notice. However, do not expect an extension—the deadline is set by the counselling authority and is rarely extended.

  • Failure to report by 18 September 2026 = automatic seat cancellation
  • No grace period or exceptions
  • Your seat will be offered to the next candidate
  • You will not be eligible for further rounds
  • Contact AMRU only in genuine emergencies

Important: provisional allotment does not guarantee admission

The notice explicitly states: **'Further, provisional allotment of a seat, if any, shall not confer any right of admission, and the final eligibility/category claim shall be subject to verification and approval by the Admission Committee of the concerned Institute.'**

This means that even though you have been allotted a seat, your admission is not guaranteed. The Admission Committee at your college will verify your eligibility, your category certificate, and all your documents. If any discrepancy is found, your admission can be cancelled or your category can be changed.

Therefore, ensure that all your documents are genuine, valid, and in the correct format. Any false or outdated document can result in rejection of your admission.

  • Provisional allotment ≠ guaranteed admission
  • Final admission is subject to verification by the college
  • Category claims are subject to verification and approval
  • Discrepancies in documents can result in cancellation
  • Ensure all documents are genuine and valid
