The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has opened NEET-UG 2026 Round 2 counselling registration on its official portal, upneet.gov.in. The window covers UP state-quota MBBS and BDS seats in government and private colleges across the state, and it closes around 17 September 2026 — the same day the Round 2 state merit list is scheduled to be released. If you are a Uttar Pradesh domicile candidate who missed Round 1 or wants to improve on it, this is your window to register, pay the fee and lock your choices.
