Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), which runs the state's NEET UG counselling, has announced that Round-1 seat allotment for NEET UG 2026 Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling is complete. Seats have been allotted based on each candidate's NEET rank/merit and the choices (colleges/courses) they had filled in. This is a result announcement, not a fresh application window — it tells candidates what seat they got and what to do next. The notice specifically addresses candidates who selected the 'Freeze' option after getting their allotment, giving them a firm deadline to complete admission at their allotted college. Missing this deadline means losing the seat entirely.
Candidates who chose 'Freeze' in Round 1 must report to their allotted institute and complete all admission formalities by 5:00 PM on 5 September 2026 — missing this cancels the allotment.
What exactly has been announced
The UK State Centralised Counselling Board (the body under HNBUMU that conducts NEET UG counselling for Uttarakhand) has finished processing Round 1 of seat allotment for NEET UG 2026. Allotment was done purely on the basis of each candidate's merit (NEET rank) and the list of college/course preferences they submitted during choice filling.
This notice was uploaded on 31 August 2026 and is meant to inform candidates about the next step in the process — specifically what freeze-option candidates must do now.
What does 'Freeze' mean, and who does this notice apply to
During NEET UG state counselling, once a seat is allotted, a candidate is usually asked to choose what they want to do with it. Choosing 'Freeze' means the candidate is accepting the allotted seat as final and locking it in — they are not looking to try for a different seat in a later round.
This particular notice is addressed only to candidates who selected the Freeze option after their Round-1 result. If you did not choose Freeze, this specific deadline and consequence do not apply to you in the way described here — check your own allotment status and option on the counselling portal for what applies to you.
The deadline every Freeze candidate must meet
If you have been allotted a seat in Round 1 and chose Freeze, you must physically report to the institute you have been allotted to and complete all necessary admission formalities.
This must be done on or before 5:00 PM on 5 September 2026. The notice does not spell out the exact list of documents or fees required at the institute — for that, follow the admission instructions of your specific allotted college and any related document checklist published on the university website.
- Deadline: 5:00 PM, 5 September 2026
- Action required: report in person to your allotted institute and complete admission formalities there
What happens if you miss the deadline — the trap to avoid
This is the single most important warning in the notice: if a Freeze candidate fails to complete admission formalities at the allotted institute within the given time, their allotment/admission will be treated as cancelled.
In practice this means the seat is lost — there is no mention in this notice of any grace period, extension, or way to revive a cancelled Freeze allotment. Candidates should treat 5:00 PM on 5 September 2026 as a hard, non-negotiable cut-off.
Where to keep track of updates
HNBUMU has asked all candidates to regularly check the university website, www.hnbumu.ac.in, for further notices, updates, and any information related to the ongoing counselling process. Since counselling timelines can be revised or supplemented with fresh notices, checking the site frequently — not just relying on this one notice — is important.
