The Directorate General of Medical Education & Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh has issued an extended time schedule for Round 1 online counselling registration under UP NEET UG-2026. This registration is for state quota seats — seats filled by the state's own counselling process — in MBBS and BDS courses at Government and private medical/dental colleges and universities across Uttar Pradesh. The notice does not announce a new counselling round; it simply extends the deadline for candidates who need to register, upload documents and pay fees for the Round 1 process already underway. This follows the overall timetable set by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), New Delhi for NEET UG counselling nationwide.
Candidates seeking UP state quota MBBS/BDS seats must complete online registration and document upload by 14 August 2026, 2:00 PM, and deposit the registration fee and security money by 14 August 2026, 5:00 PM.
What exactly has been extended
DGME UP had originally set a schedule for Round 1 online counselling registration for UP NEET UG-2026. This notice, dated 12 August 2026, extends that schedule. Two activities are covered: registering online with document upload, and depositing the registration fee along with the security money (a refundable deposit that secures a candidate's counselling participation).
This counselling is only for state quota seats — not the All India Quota seats that MCC counsels separately. State quota seats are the seats a state government fills through its own counselling process for MBBS and BDS courses in Government and private medical/dental colleges and universities located in that state.
Extended dates at a glance
The two deadlines are different, so read them carefully — the document upload window closes earlier than the fee payment window.
| S.No. | Activity | Extended Dates |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Online registration and upload of documents | 13 August 2026 (from 11:00 AM) to 14 August 2026 (till 02:00 PM) |
| 2 | Deposit of registration fee and security money | 13 August 2026 (from 11:00 AM) to 14 August 2026 (till 05:00 PM) |
Who this applies to
This schedule is for candidates who wish to be considered for state quota MBBS or BDS seats in Uttar Pradesh's Government and private medical/dental colleges and universities under Round 1 of UP NEET UG-2026 counselling. If you intend to take part in this round, you must complete both the document upload step and the fee/security money payment step within the windows given above.
Why the timing matters
The notice explicitly places this state-level schedule 'in continuation of' MCC New Delhi's overall NEET UG counselling timetable. That means UP's registration window is tied to the national schedule, and delays at the state level can affect a candidate's ability to move ahead in the seat allotment process for this round.
Because the document upload deadline (2:00 PM on 14 August 2026) is earlier than the fee payment deadline (5:00 PM on 14 August 2026), candidates should not wait until the last hour for either step. Missing either deadline can mean missing Round 1 registration entirely.
Where to check for updates
DGME has directed candidates to keep checking the official websites for all further updates related to UP NEET UG-2026 counselling, since schedules can be revised further, as this one was.

What has changed with this notice?
DGME Uttar Pradesh has extended the deadlines for Round 1 online counselling registration for UP NEET UG-2026. Registration and document upload now run until 14 August 2026, 2:00 PM, and fee/security money deposit until 14 August 2026, 5:00 PM.
Is this for All India Quota or state quota seats?
This schedule is only for state quota seats of MBBS/BDS courses in Government and private medical/dental colleges and universities of Uttar Pradesh, counselled by DGME UP — not for All India Quota seats, which MCC New Delhi handles separately.
What are the two deadlines I need to track?
First, online registration with document upload closes on 14 August 2026 at 2:00 PM. Second, payment of the registration fee and security money closes on 14 August 2026 at 5:00 PM. These are two separate deadlines, and both must be completed.
Where do I register?
The notice directs candidates to the official UP NEET counselling websites, upneet.gov.in and www.dgme.up.gov.in, for registration and all further updates.
Does this notice mention any specific documents or fee amounts?
No. The notice only gives the extended dates for registration, document upload and fee/security money deposit. It does not list the specific documents required or the exact fee amounts — candidates should check the detailed information bulletin on the official UP NEET counselling website for those specifics.
What if I miss the 14 August deadline?
The notice does not mention any further extension or a make-up window. Candidates should complete registration, document upload and fee payment well before the stated deadlines to avoid missing Round 1 of state quota counselling.
Who can I contact if I face a problem while registering?
DGME has published five helpline numbers for this purpose: 8189011696, 8189011697, 8189011698, 8189011699 and 8189011700.
If you are aiming for a state quota MBBS or BDS seat in Uttar Pradesh, complete your online registration and document upload before 14 August 2026, 2:00 PM, and deposit your registration fee and security money before 5:00 PM the same day. Keep checking upneet.gov.in and dgme.up.gov.in regularly, since this schedule has already been revised once and further updates may follow.
