The UP NEET UG 2026 second round counselling schedule is now live on upneet.gov.in — check it immediately to know all registration, choice-filling, and result dates.
What is the Second Round Counselling Schedule?
The second round counselling schedule is the official timetable released by DGME Uttar Pradesh that lists every important date and deadline for the second round of seat allocation in NEET UG 2026. This includes when registration opens and closes, when you can fill and edit your choices of colleges and courses, when the merit list will be published, and when you must report to your allotted college.
The second round typically takes place after the first round is complete and seats remain vacant. It gives candidates who did not get a seat in the first round, or who wish to upgrade to a better college or course, another chance to participate in counselling.
Why This Schedule Matters to You
Missing even one deadline in counselling can mean losing your seat or being unable to participate in that round at all. The schedule tells you exactly when you must be online, when you must submit your choices, and when results will come out. Without this information, you risk registering late, filling choices after the deadline, or missing the reporting date.
If you are a NEET UG 2026 candidate in Uttar Pradesh eligible for second round counselling — whether under the state quota, central pool, or any other category — this schedule is your roadmap. Bookmark it, note down the dates, and set reminders.

Who Should Check This Schedule?
Any candidate who appeared in NEET UG 2026 and is eligible to participate in Uttar Pradesh counselling should check this schedule. This includes candidates seeking MBBS or BDS seats under the state quota, central pool (AIQ), or any other category recognized by DGME UP.
Even if you secured a seat in the first round, you may wish to check the second round schedule to understand the timeline — some candidates use the second round to upgrade to a better college or course. If you did not get a seat in the first round, the second round schedule is essential for you.
What Information Will the Schedule Contain?
The second round counselling schedule typically includes registration start and end dates, the period during which you can fill and modify your choice of colleges and courses, the date the merit list will be published, and the date by which you must report to your allotted college with original documents.
It may also specify different timelines for different categories (such as state quota, central pool, or reserved categories) and may include information about document verification and seat confirmation. Read the entire schedule carefully — different categories or quotas may have different deadlines.
Important: Do Not Miss the Deadlines
Counselling deadlines are strict. If you miss the registration deadline, you cannot register for that round. If you miss the choice-filling deadline, your choices will not be considered. If you miss the reporting deadline, your seat may be cancelled and offered to another candidate.
Set phone reminders for each key date. If you are unsure about any date or procedure, contact DGME UP or visit the upneet.gov.in portal for clarification — do not rely on rumors or unofficial sources. The official schedule is your only reliable guide.
How to Prepare Now
Download the schedule as soon as possible and save it on your phone and computer. Write down all key dates in a calendar or planner. Share the schedule with your parents or guardians so they are also aware of the deadlines.
Ensure your documents (10th and 12th mark sheets, NEET admit card, category certificate if applicable, domicile certificate, and any other required documents) are ready well before the reporting date. Do not wait until the last moment — document verification can take time, and you may need to make corrections.
