Atal Medical and Research University Himachal Pradesh (AMRUHP) has extended the registration deadline for NEET PG 2026 Round 1 counselling, giving qualified doctors a second window to apply for MD, MS, and DNB seats in state medical colleges. The extension, announced on 24 October 2026, applies to both government and private medical college seats under the state quota. This move allows candidates who missed the original October 21 deadline to still compete for postgraduate positions in Himachal Pradesh. If you qualified NEET PG 2026 and are targeting a state-quota seat in HP, this extension is your opportunity to enter the counselling process.
NEET PG 2026 qualified doctors in Himachal Pradesh now have an extended window to register for Round 1 counselling and fill college choices—check amruhp.ac.in for the exact revised dates and complete registration before the new cut-off to avoid missing this round.

Unlock My College ListWhat Changed: Registration Deadline Extended for HP NEET PG Round 1
The original Round 1 registration window for HP NEET PG 2026 was set to close on 21 October 2026. AMRUHP issued an official notice on 24 October 2026 extending this deadline, allowing candidates who did not register in time to submit their applications online. The extension is a common practice when state counselling bodies aim to maximise seat utilisation and give late applicants a fair chance to participate.
The revised schedule has been published on the AMRUHP official portal at amruhp.ac.in. Candidates must download the latest extension notice to confirm the exact new registration and choice-filling deadlines, as subsequent milestones (choice locking, seat allotment, result declaration, and reporting dates) are likely to shift as well. Proceeding without checking the updated calendar may lead to missing critical deadlines.
Who Is Eligible for HP NEET PG 2026 Round 1 Counselling
Only candidates who qualified the NEET PG 2026 examination are eligible to register for this counselling. The process covers state-quota seats in government and private medical colleges across Himachal Pradesh. Candidates must also satisfy the state's domicile and reservation criteria to be considered for allocation.
It is important to note that deemed universities and all-India quota seats are handled through separate counselling processes and are not part of this HP state-level Round 1. If you are a NEET PG 2026 qualified doctor with a valid score and meet HP's domicile requirements, you can proceed with registration.
Original vs. Extended Timeline: What You Need to Know
The original Round 1 schedule published by AMRUHP included registration and fee payment from 12 to 21 October 2026, with choice filling running from 13 to 22 October 2026. Choice locking was scheduled for 21 October (4 PM) to 22 October (10 AM), followed by seat allotment processing on 22–23 October and result declaration on 24 October 2026. Reporting and joining were set for 26 October to 2 November 2026.
With the registration deadline now extended, all subsequent dates will shift forward. The exact revised timeline has not been explicitly stated in the extension notice, so candidates must visit amruhp.ac.in and download the official updated calendar. Delaying this check could result in missing the new choice-filling or choice-locking window, which would disqualify you from Round 1 allocation.

Why This Extension Matters for Your PG Admission
Deadline extensions in state counselling are issued to improve seat utilisation and ensure that qualified candidates do not lose their opportunity to participate due to administrative or personal delays. For you as a NEET PG 2026 qualified doctor, this extension is a second chance to enter Round 1 and compete for premium MD and MS seats in Himachal Pradesh medical colleges. Without this extension, you would have been locked out of the state-quota process entirely.
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
The extension also reflects the practical reality that many candidates face last-minute documentation issues, payment gateway problems, or simply did not realise the original deadline. By extending the window, AMRUHP ensures that the seat matrix is filled more completely, reducing the number of vacant seats that would otherwise roll over to Round 2. For you, this means a better chance of securing your preferred college and speciality in Round 1 itself, rather than waiting for Round 2 when fewer seats and less choice are available.
Practical Action Plan: What to Do Right Now
Do not delay. Visit amruhp.ac.in immediately and download the latest extension notice to confirm the exact revised registration and choice-filling deadlines. Note these dates in your calendar and set reminders for at least 2–3 days before each cut-off to avoid last-minute panic. Gather all required documents and scan them in the correct format (PDF or JPG, typically 100–500 KB per file) to ensure they upload without errors.
Arrange the counselling fee amount and ensure you have a working online payment method (net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI). Complete your registration at least 1–2 days before the new deadline to avoid server overload and technical glitches that often occur in the final hours. Once registered, immediately fill in your college and course preferences in order of priority, then lock your choices before the cut-off time. After locking, track the seat allotment result on the AMRUHP portal and be ready to report to your allotted college within the given reporting window.

What Happens After Round 1: Round 2 and Beyond
After Round 1 seat allotment and reporting, AMRUHP will conduct Round 2 counselling for any remaining vacant seats. Round 2 is expected to begin in November 2026, though the exact date will be announced on the official portal. If you do not secure a seat in Round 1 or wish to upgrade your allocation, you can participate in Round 2. However, Round 2 typically has fewer seats and less choice, so securing a seat in Round 1 is preferable.
Keep monitoring amruhp.ac.in for announcements regarding Round 2 schedule, seat matrix, and any further extensions or changes. If you are allotted a seat in Round 1 and report on time, you will be locked into that college and speciality for the academic year. If you do not report within the given window, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate in the merit list.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration
One of the most common errors is entering incorrect NEET PG roll number or score, which can lead to rejection or mismatch during seat allotment. Double-check all details before submitting. Another frequent mistake is uploading documents in the wrong format or size, causing upload failures. Ensure all scans are clear, in PDF or JPG format, and within the specified file size limit.
Do not wait until the last hour to register. Server congestion and payment gateway timeouts are common in the final minutes before a deadline, and you may lose your chance to submit. Also, avoid changing your choice-locked preferences after the locking deadline—once locked, your choices are final for that round. Finally, do not ignore the reporting deadline. Even if you are allotted a seat, failure to report on time will result in cancellation of your allocation.
