If you're one of the 5,726 candidates in the Punjab NEET UG 2026 merit list, the next few days decide whether you actually get a seat this round. Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), which conducts state counselling for MBBS and BDS admissions in Punjab, put out the Round 1 provisional seat allotment on August 27, 2026, took objections on August 28, and is releasing the final revised allotment list. This round covers roughly 1,750 MBBS and 1,260 BDS seats spread across government, private, and NRI quota colleges in the state. Missing the reporting window that follows can cost you the seat entirely, so the timeline matters as much as the rank.
Candidates allotted a seat in Punjab NEET UG 2026 Round 1 must report to their college with original documents and fees between August 30 and September 5, 2026 — missing this window risks losing the seat.
What BFUHS has actually announced
BFUHS runs the state-level NEET UG counselling for admission to MBBS and BDS seats across Punjab's medical and dental colleges. For 2026, the university first put out a provisional Round 1 allotment list on August 27, letting candidates see which college, course, and quota category they had been matched to based on their NEET UG rank, category, and choices filled.
Candidates who spotted errors — a wrong quota tag, an incorrect category, or a mismatch in personal details — had a single day, August 28, to raise objections. BFUHS is expected to correct valid discrepancies and publish the final, revised allotment list, which is the one candidates must act on.
Round 1 numbers at a glance
The scale of this round gives a sense of how competitive Punjab's state quota counselling is this year.
- 5,726 candidates featured in the Punjab NEET UG 2026 merit list used for this counselling.
- Round 1 offers around 1,750 MBBS seats and about 1,260 BDS seats.
- Seats span government colleges, private colleges, and the NRI quota category.
Revised schedule for Round 1
BFUHS pushed the original allotment date back from August 22, giving candidates extra time to check the list carefully and raise objections before the final version was locked in. The reporting period was adjusted accordingly.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Provisional seat allotment released | August 27, 2026 |
| Objection window | August 28, 2026 |
| Final revised allotment released | August 29, 2026 |
| Physical reporting at allotted college | August 30 – September 5, 2026 |
What allotted candidates need to do now
An allotment letter is not an admission — it is only valid once you report in person, get your documents verified, and pay the required fee within the window. Candidates should log in at the BFUHS admission portal, download the final allotment letter, and confirm the college, course, and quota shown before travelling to report.
Keep both originals and one photocopy set of each document ready, since colleges typically verify originals and retain copies. The admission fee amount will depend on whether the seat is government, private, or NRI quota, so candidates should check the fee structure notified by the allotted college in advance rather than assuming a fixed figure.
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard/result
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
- Round 1 allotment letter (final revised version)
- Valid photo identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, etc.)
- Category/reservation certificate, if applicable
- Passport-size photographs
- Admission fee as applicable to the allotted college and quota
Why this matters beyond Round 1
Candidates who don't report within the August 30–September 5 window risk having their allotted seat cancelled and released back into the pool for later rounds — an outcome that can push a candidate several rounds behind or out of the state quota process altogether. Even students who plan to try for an upgrade in a later round are usually better off reporting to their current allotment first, since most state counselling systems treat a confirmed admission as the safer default while an upgrade request is considered separately.
After Round 1 reporting closes on September 5, BFUHS is expected to publish the list of seats that remain vacant, along with the schedule for Round 2. Anyone who did not get a seat this round, or who wants to try for a better one, should watch for that notice rather than assuming automatic participation.
