The Directorate General of Medical Education & Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has published an official list of candidates who have been debarred from participating in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. This list is now live on the UP NEET counselling portal (upneet.gov.in) and every candidate who has applied for MBBS or BDS admission in Uttar Pradesh must check it immediately. Being on this debarred list means you will not be allowed to participate in any round of counselling, regardless of your NEET score or merit position. If your name appears on this list, you need to understand the reason and explore whether you can file an appeal or objection. This is a critical document — missing it or ignoring it could cost you your entire admission opportunity.
Check the debarred candidates list on upneet.gov.in right now — if your name is on it, you cannot participate in NEET UG 2026 counselling in Uttar Pradesh.
What Is This List?
The debarred candidates list is an official document published by DGME Uttar Pradesh that names all candidates who are ineligible to participate in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. Candidates can be debarred for various reasons — these typically include failing to meet eligibility criteria (such as age, qualification, or domicile requirements), submitting false or fraudulent documents, violating counselling rules in a previous session, or being found ineligible after document verification.
This is not a merit list, a cutoff list, or an allotment result. It is a negative list — a list of people who cannot proceed. If your name is NOT on this list, you remain eligible to participate in counselling (subject to meeting all other requirements and clearing document verification when called).
Where to Find the List
The debarred candidates list has been published on the official UP NEET counselling portal: upneet.gov.in. You can access it directly from the portal's news and announcements section or by searching for 'debarred candidates' on the site.
The list is in PDF or tabular format and contains candidate names, roll numbers, and the reason for debarment. Make sure you are checking the official DGME UP portal and not any third-party website, as misinformation can spread quickly during counselling season.

Why Candidates Get Debarred
Candidates are debarred from counselling for specific, documented reasons. Common grounds include: not meeting the minimum age requirement on the NEET exam date, not possessing the required educational qualification (12th pass or equivalent), not satisfying the state domicile or residency requirement, submitting forged or false certificates, failing to clear document verification, or violating counselling conduct rules (such as accepting a seat and then withdrawing without valid reason in a previous session).
Some debarments are automatic (based on NEET eligibility criteria), while others are discretionary (based on document verification findings or conduct violations). The reason for debarment should be stated against your name on the list.
- Age ineligibility
- Missing or invalid educational qualification
- Domicile/residency requirement not met
- Fraudulent or forged documents
- Failed document verification
- Violation of counselling rules or conduct
What to Do If Your Name Is on the List
If you find your name on the debarred candidates list, do not panic — but act immediately. First, carefully read the reason for debarment stated against your name. If you believe the debarment is an error or if you have evidence that contradicts the reason given, you have the right to file an objection or appeal with DGME UP.
Contact the DGME UP counselling helpline or visit the portal to understand the appeal process. Most authorities allow candidates to submit a written objection with supporting documents (such as a corrected certificate, proof of age, or evidence of eligibility) within a specified timeframe. The exact procedure and deadline for appeals should be mentioned on the portal or in a separate notice — check both carefully.
Do not assume the debarment is final. Many candidates have successfully challenged debarments by providing correct documentation or clarification. However, you must act quickly — appeal deadlines are usually short.
- Read the reason for debarment carefully
- Gather supporting documents that prove your eligibility
- Check the portal for the appeal/objection process and deadline
- Submit your appeal with evidence to DGME UP within the deadline
- Keep a copy of your appeal and any acknowledgment receipt
What Happens If You Are Not on the List
If your name does not appear on the debarred candidates list, you remain eligible to participate in NEET UG 2026 counselling in Uttar Pradesh — provided you meet all other eligibility requirements and your documents are verified as correct when you are called for counselling.
Being absent from the debarred list does not guarantee a seat; it only means you are allowed to participate in the counselling process. Your final admission will depend on your NEET score, merit rank, category, quota, choice of college and course, and the availability of seats.
- Not on the list = eligible to participate in counselling
- Still need to clear document verification
- Admission depends on merit, category, and seat availability
Important Dates and Next Steps
The debarred candidates list has been published now. The notice does not specify a deadline for appeals or objections, so you must check the portal immediately for any accompanying notice that states the appeal deadline. Do not delay — appeal windows are typically open for only a few days.
After the appeal deadline closes, DGME UP will finalize the list of eligible candidates and announce the counselling schedule. Keep checking upneet.gov.in for updates on counselling dates, document verification schedules, and the opening of the counselling portal.
- Check the list now on upneet.gov.in
- If debarred, file an appeal immediately (check portal for deadline)
- Monitor the portal for counselling schedule and next announcements
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not ignore the debarred list or assume it does not apply to you. Many candidates skip this step and only realize they are debarred when counselling begins — by then it is too late to appeal. Check the list as soon as it is published.
Do not confuse this list with a merit list or cutoff list. Being debarred is different from not qualifying for a particular college or course — debarment means you cannot participate in counselling at all.
If you are debarred, do not assume the decision is final. Always check for an appeal process and submit one if you believe the debarment is incorrect. Many candidates successfully overturn debarments with the right evidence.
Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media for information about debarment. Always check the official DGME UP portal (upneet.gov.in) for the authoritative list and any related notices.
- Check the list immediately — do not delay
- Do not confuse debarment with not qualifying for a seat
- Always file an appeal if you believe the debarment is wrong
- Use only the official portal for information

What does it mean if my name is on the debarred candidates list?
It means you are not eligible to participate in NEET UG 2026 counselling in Uttar Pradesh. You will not be allowed to register, fill choices, or receive a seat allocation, regardless of your NEET score. However, you can file an appeal if you believe the debarment is an error.
Where can I check if my name is on the debarred list?
The list is published on the official UP NEET counselling portal at upneet.gov.in. Look for it in the News & Events section or search for 'debarred candidates' on the site. Make sure you are using the official portal and not a third-party website.
Why would a candidate be debarred?
Common reasons include not meeting the age requirement, lacking the required educational qualification, not satisfying domicile requirements, submitting false or forged documents, failing document verification, or violating counselling conduct rules. The specific reason should be stated against your name on the list.
Can I appeal if my name is on the debarred list?
Yes, in most cases you can file an objection or appeal with DGME UP if you believe the debarment is incorrect. You will need to submit supporting documents (such as corrected certificates or proof of eligibility) within the appeal deadline. Check the portal for the exact appeal process and deadline — these are usually very short.
What is the deadline to file an appeal against debarment?
The notice does not specify an appeal deadline. You must check the UP NEET portal (upneet.gov.in) immediately for any accompanying notice that states the deadline. Appeal windows are typically open for only a few days, so do not delay.
If my name is not on the debarred list, am I guaranteed a seat?
No. Being absent from the debarred list means you are eligible to participate in counselling, but it does not guarantee a seat. Your final admission depends on your NEET score, merit rank, category, quota, choice of college and course, and seat availability.
Can I participate in counselling if I am debarred but file an appeal?
This depends on DGME UP's policy. Some authorities allow candidates to participate provisionally while their appeal is being reviewed; others do not. Check the portal or contact the DGME UP helpline for clarification on this specific point.
Is the debarred list the same as a merit list or cutoff list?
No. The debarred list is a negative list of candidates who are ineligible to participate in counselling. A merit list ranks candidates by score, and a cutoff list shows the minimum score needed for a particular college or course. These are completely different documents.
What should I do if I think my name is on the list by mistake?
Gather all supporting documents that prove your eligibility (such as your birth certificate, 12th mark sheet, domicile certificate, or corrected qualification certificate). Then check the portal for the appeal process and submit your objection with evidence within the deadline. Keep a copy of your appeal for your records.
When will counselling begin if I am not debarred?
The notice does not specify counselling dates. After the debarred list is finalized and any appeals are resolved, DGME UP will announce the counselling schedule. Keep checking upneet.gov.in for updates on counselling dates, document verification, and the opening of the counselling portal.
Check the debarred candidates list on upneet.gov.in immediately. If your name appears on it, read the reason carefully and file an appeal with supporting documents as soon as possible — appeal deadlines are typically very short. If your name is not on the list, continue monitoring the portal for counselling dates and document verification schedules. Do not delay — this is a critical step in your admission process.
