What is this rescheduled timetable?

DGME Uttar Pradesh has issued a revised schedule for the first round of online counselling under UP NEET UG 2026. This timetable outlines all key dates and deadlines that candidates must follow to participate in the first counselling round and secure a seat in an MBBS or BDS college in Uttar Pradesh.

The timetable covers the entire first-round process: when registration opens, the deadline to fill your choice of colleges and courses, when the merit list and seat allotment will be processed, and when you must report to your allotted college. Because this is a rescheduled timetable, it supersedes any earlier schedule that may have been published. Candidates must use only this new timetable to plan their actions.

Why has the timetable been rescheduled?

The notice does not specify the reason for the reschedule. However, rescheduling of counselling timelines is common due to administrative, technical, or procedural adjustments needed to ensure a smooth and fair counselling process. The important point for you is that the new dates are now official and binding.

Where do I find the complete rescheduled timetable?

The full rescheduled timetable for the first round of online counselling is published on the official UP NEET portal: upneet.gov.in. You must visit this portal and download or view the complete timetable to see all dates and deadlines relevant to your counselling.

The timetable is a detailed document that lists every important date in the first round process. Do not rely on summaries or secondhand information — access the official document directly from upneet.gov.in to ensure you have the correct, authoritative dates.

Who must follow this timetable?

All NEET UG 2026 candidates who are eligible to participate in UP counselling must follow this rescheduled timetable. This includes candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026, meet the eligibility criteria set by DGME UP, and wish to secure a seat in an MBBS or BDS college in Uttar Pradesh.

If you have registered for UP NEET UG 2026 counselling or plan to do so, this timetable applies to you. Even if you have already received an earlier timetable, you must now use only this rescheduled version.

  • Visit upneet.gov.in immediately
  • Find and download the rescheduled first-round timetable
  • Note all key dates and deadlines
  • Set reminders for each deadline
  • Do not use any old or earlier timetable

Important: Do not miss any deadline

Counselling deadlines are strict and non-negotiable. If you miss the registration deadline, you cannot participate in that round. If you miss the choice-filling deadline, your choices will not be considered. If you miss the reporting deadline after allotment, your seat may be cancelled and offered to another candidate.

The rescheduled timetable is now the official schedule. Any earlier dates you may have heard or read are no longer valid. Use only the dates from the official rescheduled timetable published on upneet.gov.in.

What happens in the first round of counselling?

The first round of online counselling is the initial seat allotment process for NEET UG 2026 candidates in Uttar Pradesh. During this round, eligible candidates register, fill their choice of colleges and courses (MBBS or BDS), and the system processes these choices to allot seats based on merit, category, and availability.

After the first round, candidates who are allotted a seat must report to their college within the deadline. Candidates who are not allotted a seat, or who wish to try for a different college or course, may participate in subsequent rounds of counselling (if announced). The rescheduled timetable covers only the first round; dates for later rounds will be announced separately.

Can I participate in counselling if I have not yet registered?

To participate in the first round of counselling, you must be registered on the UP NEET portal before the registration deadline specified in the rescheduled timetable. If you have not yet registered, you must do so as soon as possible and before the deadline closes.

Registration typically requires your NEET UG 2026 roll number, date of birth, and other basic details. Once registered, you will receive login credentials to access the counselling portal and fill your choices during the choice-filling window.

What if I miss a deadline?

If you miss any deadline in the rescheduled timetable, you will not be able to participate in that stage of the first round. For example, if you miss the registration deadline, you cannot register for the first round at all. If you miss the choice-filling deadline, your choices will not be processed.

There is typically no extension or grace period for counselling deadlines. However, if you miss the first round, you may be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds of counselling (if announced). Check the official portal for announcements about later rounds.

How do I stay updated on counselling?

The official source for all UP NEET UG 2026 counselling information is upneet.gov.in. Visit this portal regularly to check for announcements, updates, and any further changes to the timetable.

You should also check your registered email and phone number regularly, as DGME UP may send important notifications and updates through these channels.
