If you registered for Punjab's state quota MBBS/BDS counselling this year, mark your calendar again: Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) has revised the Round 1 schedule, and the provisional seat allotment result — originally due on August 22, 2026 — will now come out on August 27, 2026. This matters because every downstream deadline, from filing objections to reporting at your allotted college and paying the first tuition instalment, has shifted along with it. Anyone who has been planning travel, arranging documents, or lining up funds based on the earlier date needs to reset those plans around the new timeline. BFUHS runs the counselling for the 85% state quota seats in Punjab's government, private, minority and university-run medical and dental colleges, so this affects a large share of NEET UG-qualified candidates in the state.
Punjab NEET UG 2026 Round 1 provisional allotment now releases on August 27, 2026 (not August 22) at bfuhsonline.ac.in — check the revised objection and reporting dates that follow it before making any travel or payment plans.
What exactly changed
BFUHS moved the Round 1 provisional allotment date by five days, from August 22 to August 27, 2026, after processing the merit list and choice-filling data submitted by candidates. Online choice filling itself ran from August 16 to August 23 (5:00 PM), so the shift affects only what happens after choices were locked in — it does not reopen or extend the choice-filling window.
Every date after allotment has also moved: objections to the provisional result must be filed by August 28, a revised allotment list (if objections are accepted) will be shown on August 29, and physical reporting with document verification, medical examination and fee payment now runs from August 30 to September 5, 2026.
| Event | Revised Date |
|---|---|
| Online choice filling (Round 1) | August 16–23, 2026 (up to 5:00 PM) |
| Provisional seat allotment result | August 27, 2026 |
| Last date to object to allotment | August 28, 2026 |
| Revised provisional allotment (if any) | August 29, 2026 |
| Reporting, verification, medical exam, fee payment | August 30 – September 5, 2026 |
Which seats and colleges this covers
Round 1 allotment covers the 85% state quota MBBS and BDS seats across Punjab's government medical and dental colleges, along with seats in private, minority and university-run institutes that are filled through the same BFUHS merit list. Only candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 and registered with BFUHS for this counselling cycle are eligible to receive an allotment.
Because government and private seats are drawn from a common list, a candidate's rank and choice order still decide the outcome — the schedule change affects when results appear, not how the merit process works.
Counselling fee and tuition payment
The counselling registration fee was already collected during registration and varies by category: Rs 5,900 (including 18% GST) for general and other categories, and Rs 2,950 for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates. This is separate from the tuition fee.
Candidates who receive a seat must pay the first six months' tuition fee through the online payment gateway inside their candidate login during the reporting window (now August 30 to September 5). Families should have this amount ready in advance rather than scrambling once the allotment appears, since the reporting window is short.
How to check your allotment and raise an objection
The result will appear on the BFUHS admission portal from August 27. Log in with your registered user ID and password, open the MBBS/BDS 2026 counselling section, and view your allotted college, course and category before downloading and saving the allotment letter.
If you believe there is an error, note that BFUHS accepts objections only in person at its Faridkot campus — it does not process objections sent by email or online. You'll need printouts of your allotment letter, merit rank, NEET UG scorecard, and category/domicile certificates when you appear before the Admission Branch.
- Visit bfuhsonline.ac.in and open the MBBS/BDS 2026 counselling section
- Log in with your registered credentials
- View allotted college, course and category on screen
- Download and print the allotment letter immediately
- For objections, carry originals/printouts and report in person at Faridkot within the stated window
What this means for you right now
A five-day delay may sound minor, but it compresses decision-making time once the result is out, since the reporting window itself hasn't been stretched by the same margin. Candidates should use the extra days before August 27 productively — organise your NEET UG scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, and domicile/category/character certificates now so you are not searching for paperwork after the allotment appears.
If you are not satisfied with your Round 1 seat, remember that Round 2 counselling will follow later, so a seat allotted now is not necessarily your final option — but accepting or reporting against a Round 1 seat still has consequences for eligibility in later rounds, so read BFUHS's rules on upgrading and withdrawal carefully before deciding.
