Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU), the NEET-UG counselling authority for Himachal Pradesh, has extended the deadline for candidates to complete their admission to MBBS and BDS seats allotted in the 1st round of counselling for the 2026-27 academic session. The new last date for admission is 4 September 2026. This extension gives candidates who have received seat allotments additional time to report to their assigned colleges, submit required documents, and complete the formal admission process. If you have been allotted a seat in the 1st round, you must act on this extension immediately — missing this deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat.
The deadline to complete admission for MBBS/BDS 1st round allotted seats in Himachal Pradesh is now 4 September 2026; if you miss this date, your seat will be cancelled.
What This Notice Means for You
This notice is an extension of the admission deadline for candidates who have already been allotted a seat in the 1st round of NEET-UG counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in Himachal Pradesh. The original deadline has been pushed back to 4 September 2026. This is not a new counselling round or a new merit list — it is simply more time for those already allotted to complete their admission formalities.
Completing admission means physically reporting to your allotted college, submitting all required original documents (certificates, identity proof, category certificates if applicable), paying the admission fee, and getting your name formally registered in the college's admission register. Until you do this, your seat is not secure.
Who Must Act on This Extension
This extension applies only to candidates who have received a seat allotment in the 1st round of NEET-UG counselling for MBBS or BDS in Himachal Pradesh. If you have not yet received an allotment, or if you are waiting for a later round, this deadline does not apply to you yet.
If you have been allotted a seat but have not yet completed admission (i.e., you have not yet reported to the college with your documents), you must do so by 4 September 2026. Candidates who have already completed their admission at the college are not affected by this deadline.
The New Admission Deadline: 4 September 2026
The last date to complete your admission to your allotted MBBS or BDS seat is 4 September 2026. This is a hard deadline — admissions completed after this date will not be accepted, and your seat will be cancelled. You must physically visit your allotted college on or before this date with all required documents.
Do not wait until the last day. College admission offices can be busy, and processing can take time. Aim to complete your admission at least 2–3 days before the deadline to avoid any last-minute issues or delays.
- Deadline: 4 September 2026
- Action required: Report to your allotted college with original documents
- Consequence of missing the deadline: Your seat will be forfeited
What You Must Do to Complete Admission
Completing admission is not just about receiving an allotment letter. You must physically go to your allotted college and complete a formal admission process. This involves submitting original documents, paying the admission fee, and getting your name registered in the college's admission register. Until all these steps are done, your seat is not confirmed.
The exact documents required and the admission fee amount may vary slightly between colleges, but the core requirements are the same across all MBBS and BDS colleges in Himachal Pradesh. Check with your specific college for any college-specific requirements, but ensure you have all the documents listed below.
- Visit your allotted college in person
- Bring all original documents (see 'Documents Required' section below)
- Pay the admission fee as notified by the college
- Get your name registered in the college's admission register
- Obtain an admission confirmation receipt from the college
Documents Required for Admission
When you report to your allotted college to complete admission, you must bring original copies of all the documents listed below. The college will verify these against the copies you submitted during counselling registration. Missing or incorrect documents can delay or even cancel your admission.
Ensure that all documents are valid, issued by the correct authority, and match the information you provided in your NEET-UG application. Any discrepancy can lead to rejection of your admission.
- NEET-UG admit card and NEET-UG result/scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
- Class 12 passing certificate
- Aadhar card or any government-issued photo ID
- Passport-size photographs (as per college requirement, typically 4–6)
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), if applicable — must be issued by the competent authority in Himachal Pradesh
- Domicile certificate of Himachal Pradesh (if you are a Himachal Pradesh resident)
- Medical fitness certificate (if required by the college)
- Character certificate from your school or college
- Any other document specified by your allotted college in the allotment letter or on its website
Category Certificates: Critical Requirements
If you have applied under a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, or EWS), you must bring an original category certificate issued by the competent authority in Himachal Pradesh. A category certificate from another state will not be accepted. The certificate must clearly state your category and, for OBC candidates, must include the sub-category (if applicable) and the date of issue.
For OBC candidates: The certificate must show the sub-group (OBC-NCL, OBC-Creamy Layer, etc.) as per the current NEET-UG guidelines. If your certificate does not specify this, contact the issuing authority immediately to get it corrected. Admission can be rejected if the category certificate is incomplete or incorrect.
For EWS candidates: The certificate must be issued after 1 April of the financial year in which you are applying. A certificate issued before this date will not be valid for the 2026-27 admission session.
- Category certificate must be from Himachal Pradesh competent authority only
- OBC certificate must show the sub-category clearly
- EWS certificate must be issued on or after 1 April 2026
- SC/ST certificates must be valid and issued by the district administration
Domicile and Residency Requirements
If you are a Himachal Pradesh resident, you must bring your domicile certificate at the time of admission. This certificate proves that you are a resident of Himachal Pradesh and are eligible for state-level counselling. If you do not have a domicile certificate, obtain one from the district administration of your district before reporting to the college.
If you are a non-resident of Himachal Pradesh but have been allotted a seat through NEET-UG counselling (e.g., through an all-India quota or management quota), check with your college whether a domicile certificate is required. Some colleges may not require it for non-residents, but it is best to clarify in advance.
- Himachal Pradesh residents: Bring domicile certificate
- Non-residents: Check with your college if domicile is required
- Obtain domicile from your district administration if you don't have one
Admission Fee and Payment
When you report to your allotted college, you will be required to pay an admission fee. The exact amount of this fee is set by each college and may vary. The fee typically covers registration, admission processing, and initial college charges. Check your allotment letter or the college's website for the exact fee amount before you visit.
Payment is usually made at the college's admission office. Ask the college whether they accept cash, cheque, demand draft, or online transfer. Obtain a receipt for the fee paid — this is your proof of payment and is important for your records.
- Admission fee amount varies by college — check your allotment letter or college website
- Payment is made at the college's admission office
- Ask about accepted payment methods (cash, cheque, online transfer, etc.)
- Always obtain and keep a receipt for the fee paid
What Happens If You Miss the 4 September Deadline
If you do not complete your admission by 4 September 2026, your allotted seat will be cancelled automatically. You will not be able to join the college, and your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. There is no grace period or extension for individual candidates — the deadline is absolute.
If your seat is cancelled due to missing the deadline, you may be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds of counselling (2nd round, 3rd round, etc.) if they are conducted. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive another allotment. It is critical that you complete your admission by the deadline.
- Missing the deadline results in automatic cancellation of your seat
- Your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list
- You may be eligible for later counselling rounds, but there is no guarantee of another allotment
- Do not rely on extensions or exceptions — the deadline is final

The new deadline is 4 September 2026. You must physically report to your allotted college with all required documents and complete the admission process by this date. If you miss this deadline, your seat will be cancelled.
Does this extension apply to me if I haven't received an allotment yet?

I have an OBC category certificate, but it doesn't mention the sub-category. Will it be accepted?
No. OBC certificates must clearly show the sub-category (OBC-NCL, OBC-Creamy Layer, etc.). If your certificate does not specify this, contact the issuing authority immediately to get it corrected before you report to the college.

My EWS certificate was issued on 15 March 2026. Can I use it for admission?
No. EWS certificates must be issued on or after 1 April of the financial year in which you are applying. Your certificate was issued before this date, so it is not valid for the 2026-27 admission session. You must obtain a new EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2026.
What happens if I don't complete my admission by 4 September 2026?
Your allotted seat will be cancelled automatically. Your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.

I am a non-resident of Himachal Pradesh. Do I need a domicile certificate?

Where do I find my allotment letter and college details?
Your allotment letter should have been sent to you via email or SMS after the 1st round counselling. If you haven't received it, check the AMRU counselling portal at amruhp.ac.in or contact AMRU's helpdesk at helpdesk.amruhp@gmail.com or 01905-243967.
