The Directorate General of Medical Education & Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has published the official fee fixation order for MBBS courses in the 2026-27 academic session. This order sets the tuition and other fees that government and private medical colleges in UP are permitted to charge NEET UG 2026 candidates. The fee structure is now live on the official UP NEET counselling portal (upneet.gov.in) and all candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 and are eligible for counselling must review these fees before accepting a seat. Understanding the exact fee liability is critical because it determines your total cost of study and affects your financial planning for the five-year MBBS programme.
The official MBBS fee structure for UP government and private colleges in 2026-27 is now published on upneet.gov.in — check it immediately to know your exact fee liability before seat acceptance.
What is this fee fixation order?
The fee fixation order is an official government notification that sets the maximum fees — tuition, hostel, examination, and other charges — that medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh are legally permitted to charge MBBS students for the 2026-27 academic year. This order is issued by DGME UP under the authority of the state government and applies to all government medical colleges, government-aided colleges, and private medical colleges offering MBBS seats in UP.
This is not a merit list, allotment result, or counselling schedule. It is a regulatory document that protects students by preventing colleges from charging arbitrary or excessive fees. Every candidate who receives a seat in an UP medical college must pay fees according to this official order — no college can charge more than what is fixed here.
Why does this matter to you right now?
During NEET UG 2026 counselling, when you are offered a seat at a college, you will have a limited time to accept or reject it. To make an informed decision, you must know exactly how much you will pay — not just tuition, but hostel fees, examination fees, and all other charges combined. The fee fixation order gives you this complete picture.
If you do not check the fees before accepting a seat, you may face a financial shock after admission. Some candidates discover too late that the total cost is higher than they expected, or that certain fees apply only to certain categories. Reviewing this order now — before counselling rounds begin or before you accept any seat — is essential.
Where to find the fee fixation order
The official fee fixation order for MBBS 2026-27 is published on the UP NEET counselling portal at upneet.gov.in. You can access it directly from the 'News and Events' section or by searching for 'Fee Fixation GO' on the portal.
The document is a detailed tabular order that lists fees for government colleges, government-aided colleges, and private colleges separately. It may also break down fees by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) if applicable. Download and save a copy for your records.

What fees are included in this order?
The fee fixation order typically includes tuition fees (the main academic fee), hostel fees (if applicable), examination fees, library fees, laboratory fees, and other miscellaneous charges. The exact breakdown depends on whether you are admitted to a government college, government-aided college, or private college, and may vary by category.
Government colleges usually have significantly lower fees than private colleges. The order will show the total annual fee and, in some cases, the semester-wise or year-wise breakdown. Some fees may be one-time (e.g., admission fee) while others are recurring (e.g., tuition per year).
- Tuition/academic fees
- Hostel fees (if applicable)
- Examination fees
- Library and laboratory fees
- Miscellaneous/administrative charges
- One-time admission or registration fees
Government vs. private college fees
Government medical colleges in UP charge substantially lower fees than private colleges. The fee fixation order will show both structures side by side. If you are eligible for a government college seat, your annual fee burden will be a fraction of what a private college charges — often ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 per year for government colleges versus ₹10,00,000–₹20,00,000+ per year for private colleges.
This is one of the most important reasons to aim for a government college seat during counselling. The fee difference over five years can be ₹25–₹100 lakhs or more. Review the order carefully to compare your options if you are eligible for both government and private seats.
- Government colleges: significantly lower fees (set by state)
- Private colleges: higher fees (set by college, within state limits)
- Fee difference can be ₹5–₹20 lakhs per year
- Total 5-year cost varies dramatically by college type
Category-wise fee variations
In some cases, the fee fixation order may specify different fees for different categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, or other reserved categories. This is rare for tuition fees (which are usually the same for all), but may apply to hostel fees or other charges. Check the order carefully to see if your category has any fee concessions or additional charges.
If you belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC), you may also be eligible for fee waivers or scholarships under state or central schemes. The fee fixation order does not cover these — you must check with the college or the state government separately — but it is important to know the base fee first.
- Check if fees vary by category (General, OBC, SC, ST)
- Hostel fees may differ by category
- Tuition fees are usually the same for all categories
- Separate scholarships/waivers may apply (check with college)
How to use this order during counselling
When you log into the UP NEET counselling portal and are offered a seat, you will see the college name and course. Before accepting, cross-check the college name in the fee fixation order to find the exact fees you will pay. Write down the total annual fee and multiply by 5 to estimate your total cost for the entire course.
If you are offered multiple seats in different rounds, compare the fees of each college. Some candidates prioritize a lower-ranked college with much lower fees over a higher-ranked private college with very high fees. This order gives you the data to make that choice consciously.
- Note the college name from your seat offer
- Find it in the fee fixation order
- Record the annual fee and total 5-year cost
- Compare fees across multiple seat offers if applicable
- Factor fees into your seat acceptance decision
Important: fees are fixed by the state, not negotiable
The fees in this order are set by the Uttar Pradesh government and are binding on all colleges. No college can charge more than what is stated in this order. If a college tries to charge additional fees not listed here, you have the right to complain to DGME UP.
However, fees can change from year to year. The order you are reading is for the 2026-27 academic session only. If you are admitted in 2026-27, your fees for subsequent years may be revised by the government. Always keep a copy of this order as proof of the fees you were promised at admission.

- Fees may change in future years (check annually)

What if you cannot afford the fees?
If the fees are beyond your financial capacity, you have several options. First, prioritize government college seats during counselling — they are far more affordable. Second, check if you are eligible for any state or central scholarship or fee waiver scheme. Third, explore education loans from banks, which offer special rates for medical education.
Some private colleges also offer scholarships or fee reductions for meritorious or economically disadvantaged students — contact the college directly to ask. Do not let high fees alone discourage you from accepting a seat; explore all financial aid options first.
- Aim for government college seats (much lower fees)
- Check state and central scholarship schemes
- Explore education loans from banks
- Contact private colleges about scholarships
- Do not reject a seat without exploring financial aid
When to check this order
You should review the fee fixation order as soon as possible — ideally before counselling begins or before your first counselling round. This gives you time to plan financially and make informed seat choices. Do not wait until you are offered a seat to check fees; by then, you may have limited time to decide.
If counselling has already begun and you are about to accept a seat, check the fees immediately. If you have already accepted a seat, verify that the college is charging you according to this order. If there is a discrepancy, raise it with the college and DGME UP without delay.
- Check before counselling begins (ideal)
- Check before accepting any seat (essential)
- Check after admission to verify charges
- Raise discrepancies with college and DGME UP immediately
