Unlock My College ListWhat Happened: Why This Notice Matters
On 1 October 2026, BFUHS issued a notice partially changing the dates for the 3rd round of Punjab's NEET UG counselling. Today, 2 October 2026, the university has withdrawn that notice entirely. This means all the date changes announced yesterday are cancelled, and you must follow the original schedule from 25 September instead.
This is important because schedule changes can confuse candidates and lead to missed deadlines. By withdrawing the modified notice and restoring the original dates, BFUHS is ensuring clarity. However, you must make sure you are following the correct, original dates — not the ones from yesterday's now-withdrawn notice.
The Correct 3rd Round Schedule (Original Dates)
Below is the official schedule for the 3rd round of UG Medical/Dental online counselling under NEET UG 2026 in Punjab. These are the dates you must follow. All other terms, conditions and instructions from the original notice dated 25 September 2026 remain unchanged.
| Step | Activity | Date(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Filling and submission of online choices/preferences for course, college, quota and category through the online counselling portal | 6 October 2026 to 7 October 2026 |
| 2 | Processing of seat allotment | 8 October 2026 to 9 October 2026 |
| 3 | Display of provisional allotment/Result | 10 October 2026 |
| 4 | Last date and time for submission of objections to the provisional seat allotment | 11 October 2026 (3:00 PM) |
When to Fill Your Choices: 6–7 October 2026
You have a two-day window — 6 October and 7 October 2026 — to log into the online counselling portal and fill your preferences. During this time, you must select which courses (MBBS or BDS), colleges, quotas (General, Competent Authority, etc.) and categories you wish to be considered for.
This is your only chance to tell the system where you want to study. Once the window closes on 7 October, you cannot change your choices. Make sure you have your NEET UG 2026 roll number, password and any other login credentials ready before 6 October.
- Log in to the official online counselling portal
- Select your preferred courses (MBBS/BDS)
- Choose colleges in order of preference
- Select quota and category options
- Submit your choices before the portal closes on 7 October
Seat Processing: 8–9 October 2026
After the choice-filling window closes, BFUHS will process all the choices submitted by candidates. This is a backend operation — you do not need to do anything during these two days. The university's system will match your preferences against available seats, your NEET rank, and the rules for each quota and category.

Processing typically takes 24–48 hours. During this time, the portal may be unavailable or show a 'processing' message. Do not panic — this is normal.
Provisional Allotment Results: 10 October 2026
On 10 October 2026, BFUHS will display the provisional allotment results on the online counselling portal. This is the seat the system has tentatively assigned to you based on your choices, rank and eligibility. It is called 'provisional' because you can still object to it if you believe there is an error.
Log in to the portal on or after 10 October to see which college and course you have been allotted. Write down the details — college name, course, quota, category, and any other information shown. Keep this information safe; you will need it if you wish to file an objection.
- Check the portal on 10 October 2026
- Note your allotted college, course, quota and category
- Review the allotment carefully for any errors
- Save or print the allotment letter if possible
