MedAdmit News Desk 21 Sep 2026 4 min read

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has published an official notice listing candidates who have resigned from their allocated seats in NEET UG 2026 Rounds 1 and 2. This notice covers both Freeze and Float category candidates — those who had locked their seat choice and those who had kept their options open. If you participated in either of these rounds and were allocated a seat, you must check this list to confirm whether your name appears and understand what it means for your admission status. This is a critical document for tracking the counselling process and knowing whether you remain in the running for a seat.

Check the official NTA resignation notice immediately to confirm whether you or your seat allocation has been affected in Rounds 1 or 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling.

NTA — Notice for resignation of Freeze and Float candidates of Round 1 and Round 2Official PDF notice published by NTA. Always confirm details against the official document.

What is this notice?

This is an official list published by NTA that records all candidates who have resigned (withdrawn) from their allocated MBBS or BDS seats during NEET UG 2026 Rounds 1 and 2. When a candidate resigns, their seat becomes vacant and is released back into the counselling pool for other candidates to fill.

The notice covers two candidate categories: Freeze candidates (those who locked their seat choice and could not change it) and Float candidates (those who kept their options open and could upgrade or change their choice in later rounds). Understanding which category you fall into and whether your name appears on this list is essential to know your current admission status.

Why does this matter to you?

If your name appears on this resignation list, it means you have officially withdrawn from your allocated seat. This affects your eligibility for future counselling rounds and your admission status. You must act immediately to understand the implications and decide your next steps.

If your name does NOT appear, it means you have retained your seat allocation from Rounds 1 or 2. However, you should still review the list to confirm your status and ensure there are no errors in the official records. Any discrepancy must be reported to NTA immediately.

Who should check this notice?

Every candidate who participated in NEET UG 2026 Rounds 1 or 2 and received a seat allocation must check this notice. This includes candidates in both Freeze and Float categories across all states and union territories.

Even if you believe you did not resign, you should verify your name is not on the list. Administrative errors can occur, and early detection allows you to file a correction or grievance with NTA before the next round begins.

  • Candidates allocated seats in Round 1 (Freeze or Float category)
  • Candidates allocated seats in Round 2 (Freeze or Float category)
  • Candidates who may have submitted a resignation request
  • Candidates who want to confirm their seat is still active

How to access the resignation notice

The official resignation notice has been published by NTA and is available on the NEET UG counselling portal. You can access it using the link provided by NTA or by visiting the official counselling website directly.

To find your name on the list, you will typically need to search by your roll number, registration number, or name. The document is large and tabular, so use the search or filter function in your PDF reader or browser to locate your entry quickly.

  • Visit the official NTA NEET UG counselling portal
  • Look for the Round 1 and Round 2 resignation notice
  • Download or view the document
  • Search for your name, roll number, or registration number
  • Verify your status (resigned or not resigned)

What if your name is on the resignation list?

If your name appears on the resignation list, it means your seat allocation from Round 1 or Round 2 has been cancelled. You are no longer holding a seat in that round. Depending on NTA's counselling schedule, you may be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds (such as Round 3 or mop-up rounds) if they are conducted.

You should immediately check the official counselling portal for information about upcoming rounds, eligibility criteria, and registration deadlines. Do not assume you are out of the process — many candidates get seats in later rounds. Act quickly to register for the next available round if you wish to continue.

  • Your Round 1 or Round 2 seat allocation is cancelled
  • You are no longer holding a seat in that round
  • You may be eligible for future counselling rounds
  • Check the portal for the next round's schedule and registration dates
  • Register promptly if you wish to participate in the next round

What if your name is NOT on the resignation list?

If your name does not appear on the resignation list, your seat allocation from Round 1 or Round 2 remains active. You are still holding your allocated seat, and your admission status is secure for that round. However, your status in future rounds depends on the counselling rules and whether you choose to participate in upgradation or float rounds.

Keep your seat allocation letter and all related documents safe. You will need them for document verification and final admission at your allocated college. Continue to monitor the official portal for any updates, announcements, or instructions from NTA or your state counselling authority.

  • Your seat allocation is still active
  • You are holding your allocated seat
  • Your admission status is secure for this round
  • Keep all allocation letters and documents safe
  • Monitor the portal for further instructions

Understanding Freeze and Float categories

In NEET UG counselling, candidates are typically divided into two categories based on their choice-locking strategy: Freeze and Float. A Freeze candidate locks their seat choice and cannot change it in subsequent rounds — their seat is fixed. A Float candidate does not lock their choice and can upgrade or change their allocated seat in later rounds if they meet the eligibility criteria.

This resignation notice covers both categories. If you were a Freeze candidate and your name is on the list, your fixed seat has been released. If you were a Float candidate and your name is on the list, you have withdrawn from your floating seat. Understanding which category you were in helps you interpret what your resignation means for your future counselling eligibility.

  • Freeze candidates: locked their seat choice, cannot change it
  • Float candidates: did not lock their choice, could upgrade or change
  • Resignation affects both categories differently
  • Check your counselling registration to confirm your category

What to do if you find an error

If you believe your name appears on the resignation list by mistake, or if your name should appear but does not, you must report it to NTA immediately. Do not wait — errors in official records can jeopardize your admission. Contact the NTA helpline or the official counselling portal's grievance section with your roll number, registration number, and proof of your claim.

Keep screenshots or copies of the resignation notice showing the error, along with any communication you have with NTA. Document everything for your records. NTA typically has a window for corrections and grievances — check the portal for the deadline and follow the prescribed process.

  • Report errors to NTA immediately
  • Use the official grievance portal or helpline
  • Provide your roll number and registration number
  • Attach proof or screenshots of the error
  • Keep copies of all communication
  • Check the portal for the grievance deadline

Important dates and next steps

What does it mean if my name is on the resignation list?

If your name appears on the resignation list, it means you have officially withdrawn from your allocated seat in Round 1 or Round 2. Your seat is no longer yours and has been released back into the counselling pool. You may be eligible to participate in future counselling rounds if they are conducted. Check the official portal immediately for information about the next round and registration deadlines.

What does it mean if my name is NOT on the resignation list?

If your name does not appear on the resignation list, your seat allocation from Round 1 or Round 2 is still active. You are holding your allocated seat, and your admission status is secure for that round. Keep your allocation letter safe and monitor the portal for further instructions from NTA or your state counselling authority.

How do I find my name on the resignation list?

The resignation notice is a large tabular document published on the official NTA NEET UG counselling portal. Download the document and use the search function (Ctrl+F on your computer or the search tool in your PDF reader) to find your name, roll number, or registration number. If you cannot find it, your name is likely not on the list, which means your seat is still active.

I did not resign, but my name is on the resignation list. What should I do?

This is an error that must be corrected immediately. Contact NTA through the official grievance portal or helpline with your roll number, registration number, and proof that you did not resign. Provide screenshots of the resignation notice showing your name and any communication you have with NTA. Follow the prescribed grievance process and keep copies of all documents. Act quickly — there is usually a deadline for corrections.

Can I participate in the next counselling round if my name is on the resignation list?

Yes, you may be eligible to participate in future counselling rounds (such as Round 3 or mop-up rounds) if they are conducted by NTA. However, you will need to register again for the next round and meet all eligibility criteria. Check the official portal for the schedule and registration dates for the next round. Do not assume you are out of the process — many candidates get seats in later rounds.

What is the difference between Freeze and Float candidates?

Freeze candidates lock their seat choice and cannot change it in subsequent rounds — their seat is fixed. Float candidates do not lock their choice and can upgrade or change their allocated seat in later rounds if they meet the eligibility criteria. This resignation notice covers both categories. If you were a Freeze candidate and resigned, your fixed seat is released. If you were a Float candidate and resigned, your floating seat is released.

When will the next counselling round be held?

The exact dates for the next counselling round will be announced separately by NTA on the official portal. Check the portal daily for updates and announcements. Do not rely on rumors or unofficial sources. Set reminders to stay updated, as counselling schedules can change and missing a deadline can cost you a seat.

What documents do I need if I want to participate in the next round?

The specific documents required for the next round will be announced by NTA when the round is scheduled. Typically, you will need your NEET admit card, scorecard, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and other documents as per the counselling guidelines. Keep all your original documents safe and ready. Check the official portal for the complete list of required documents when the next round is announced.

Is this resignation list final, or can it be updated?

The resignation list published by NTA is official and reflects the status at the time of publication. However, if errors are found, NTA may issue corrections or updates. Always check the official portal for the latest version of the list and any announcements about corrections. Do not rely on an older version of the document.

What if I accidentally resigned but want to get my seat back?

If you resigned by mistake, contact NTA immediately through the official grievance portal or helpline. Explain your situation and request to withdraw your resignation. However, NTA's ability to reverse a resignation depends on the counselling rules and the stage of the process. Act quickly — the sooner you report the error, the better your chances of resolution. Keep all communication with NTA for your records.

Check the official NTA NEET UG counselling portal immediately to access the resignation notice for Rounds 1 and 2. Search for your name, roll number, or registration number to confirm your status. If your name is on the list, register promptly for the next available counselling round. If you find an error, report it to NTA without delay. Monitor the portal daily for announcements about future rounds and registration deadlines — do not miss any critical dates.
