What does my merit rank mean?
Your merit rank is your position among all eligible candidates in Uttar Pradesh, based on your NEET UG 2026 score. A lower rank number means a higher score and a better position in the counselling queue. You will be offered seats in order of your rank — candidates with lower ranks are called first and have more choice of colleges and courses.
My name is not on the merit list. What should I do?
If your name is missing, check your email for notifications about your registration status. Log in to upneet.gov.in and look for error messages or alerts. Review the documents you uploaded to ensure they were accepted. If you find an issue, contact the DGME UP helpline or file a formal objection through the portal. Do not delay — there may be a limited window to correct errors.
Can my merit rank change after it is published?
Your merit rank is final once published, unless there is a documented error in your registration or NEET score. If you believe there is an error, you must file a formal objection through the official portal within the specified timeframe. Otherwise, your rank will remain the same throughout the counselling process.
What happens after I check the merit list?
After the merit list is published, the counselling process moves to the next stage: seat selection and allocation. DGME UP will announce the schedule for document verification, seat selection, and final allotment. Keep checking upneet.gov.in regularly for updates. You will be notified when it is your turn to choose your college and course based on your merit rank.
Is the merit list the same as the seat allotment result?
No. The merit list shows your rank and eligibility for counselling. The seat allotment result, published later, shows which college and course you have been assigned. The merit list comes first and determines the order in which candidates are called for seat selection.
Can I apply for both MBBS and BDS through this merit list?
Yes. If you registered for counselling for both MBBS and BDS, you will appear on the merit list for both courses. During seat selection, you can choose which course and college you prefer. Your final allotment will be for one course at one college based on your choices and rank.
What should I do if I see an error in my personal details on the merit list?
If your name, registration number, score, or category is incorrect on the merit list, contact the DGME UP helpline immediately or file a formal objection through upneet.gov.in. Provide proof of the error and request a correction. Errors in category or score can significantly affect your seat allocation, so address them urgently.
Is the merit list final, or can it be updated?
The merit list is published as final, but DGME UP may issue corrections if errors are found or if candidates file valid objections. Always check the portal for any updates or revised merit lists. If you filed an objection, monitor your email and the portal for the outcome.
What if I did not register for counselling but want to participate now?
If you did not register during the official registration window, you will not appear on this merit list. Check upneet.gov.in for information on whether a late registration window is available. If no late registration is allowed, you may have to wait for the next counselling round or session. Do not delay — registration windows are usually time-limited.
