If you registered for Punjab's state quota NEET UG counselling this year, you need to reset your calendar. Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), which runs admissions to the 85% state quota MBBS and BDS seats in Punjab, has moved the Round 1 provisional seat allotment date from August 22 to August 27, 2026. This matters because every downstream step — objections, revised allotment, document verification and fee payment — has shifted along with it. Candidates who had planned travel or arranged funds around the original date should not assume anything has stayed the same.
Check the BFUHS portal (bfuhsonline.ac.in) on August 27, 2026 for your Round 1 result — the old August 22 date no longer applies, and every later step in the process has moved by roughly five days.
What exactly changed
BFUHS handles counselling for MBBS and BDS seats under Punjab's 85% state quota, covering government colleges as well as private, university-run and minority institutions. After online choice-filling closed on August 23, the university needed extra time to process merit and choice data, and it has now pushed the provisional allotment display to August 27, 2026.
This is a scheduling revision, not a change to eligibility or the merit list itself. Anyone who completed choice-filling within the window remains in the running for Round 1; only the date on which you see your result has moved.
The revised Round 1 timeline
The table below sets out the key dates as they now stand. Candidates should rely only on this revised schedule and ignore any earlier date they may have noted down.
| Event | Revised Date |
|---|---|
| Online choice-filling | August 16 – August 23, 2026 (up to 5:00 PM) |
| Provisional seat allotment result | August 27, 2026 |
| Last date to submit objections | August 28, 2026 |
| Revised provisional allotment (if any) | August 29, 2026 |
| Reporting, verification, medical exam, fee payment | August 30 – September 5, 2026 |
How to check your allotment
From August 27, log in to bfuhsonline.ac.in with your registered user ID and password, navigate to the MBBS and BDS 2026 counselling section, and open the Round 1 provisional allotment link. Your allotted college, course and category will be displayed on screen. Download and print the allotment letter immediately — you will need it at every later stage.
If you disagree with your allotment
BFUHS accepts objections only in person at its Faridkot campus — there is no online or email route. If you plan to object, you have just one day (August 28) to do so, so it helps to prepare documents in advance rather than waiting for the result.
Carry a printout of your allotment letter along with your NEET UG scorecard, category certificate and domicile certificate. The Admission Branch verifies each objection before deciding whether a revised allotment list needs to be issued on August 29.

- Category certificate (if applicable)
- Domicile certificate
Fees to keep ready
The counselling registration fee — Rs 5,900 for general and other categories, and Rs 2,950 for SC candidates, both inclusive of 18% GST — was already collected at registration. What remains now is the tuition fee, payable separately through the online gateway inside your candidate login once you report to your allotted college between August 30 and September 5.
BFUHS collects tuition for the first six months at the reporting stage, so families should have that amount arranged before travelling for document verification.
Why a five-day shift is worth taking seriously
A short delay in a state counselling schedule can still disrupt plans that were built around the original dates — travel bookings, leave from a coaching institute, or arranging tuition funds on short notice. Because BFUHS objections must be raised in person and only within a single day, candidates who wait until the result is out to gather documents risk missing that window entirely.
Round 2 counselling dates have not been announced yet and will follow after Round 1 reporting concludes. Aspirants who do not get a seat they want in Round 1, or who are unallotted, should watch the BFUHS portal for that announcement rather than assuming a fixed gap between rounds.
