The Directorate General of Medical Education & Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh has issued the schedule for the first round of online counselling registration for UP NEET UG 2026. This is for admission to state quota seats — the seats filled through the state's own counselling process, as opposed to the All India Quota seats filled by MCC — in MBBS and BDS courses at government and private medical/dental colleges and medical universities across UP. This is an application-opening announcement: registration begins 7 August 2026. Candidates who want to be considered for UP state quota seats must register and upload documents within the given window, and separately deposit the registration fee and security money.
Online registration and document upload for UP NEET UG 2026 first round counselling opens 7 August 2026 (12:00 PM) and closes 12 August 2026 at 2:00 PM — but the fee and security money can be paid until 5:00 PM the same day, so don't confuse the two deadlines.
What this notice is about
DGME UP has issued this timetable in continuation of the schedule released by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), New Delhi for NEET UG counselling. It applies specifically to state quota seats — seats that Uttar Pradesh fills through its own counselling — in the MBBS and BDS courses run by government and private medical/dental colleges and medical universities located in the state.
This notice covers only the first round registration window. It does not mention choice filling, seat allotment, reporting, or document verification dates for this round — those will be announced separately, so keep checking the official websites.
Key dates for First Round Registration
There are two separate activities in this window, and they have two different closing times. Read this carefully — missing the earlier document upload deadline while still having time to pay the fee is a common mistake.
| S.No. | Activity | Start | End |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Online registration and upload of documents | 07 August 2026, 12:00 PM | 12 August 2026, 02:00 PM |
| 2 | Deposit of registration fee and security money | 07 August 2026, 12:00 PM | 12 August 2026, 05:00 PM |
The trap: two different deadlines on the same day
Document upload closes three hours earlier than the fee/security money payment window. If you plan to register on the last day, make sure your online registration and all document uploads are fully completed by 2:00 PM on 12 August 2026 — not 5:00 PM. The extra time (till 5:00 PM) is only for depositing the registration fee and security money, not for uploading documents.
Do not wait until the final hours. Portal traffic is usually heavy near deadlines, and any last-minute technical delay could cost you your chance to register for this round.
Who this applies to
This schedule is for candidates seeking admission to UG courses — MBBS and BDS — through the state quota seats of Uttar Pradesh's government and private medical/dental colleges and medical universities. It does not cover All India Quota seats, which are handled directly by MCC on its own portal and timetable.
Where to check for updates
The notice directs candidates to keep monitoring the official departmental websites for all further updates related to UP NEET UG 2026 counselling, including choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting schedules.
