HNBUMU has published the Round 1 provisional merit list on its official portal (hnbumu.ac.in). The list includes all registered candidates who meet Uttarakhand domicile requirements and have a valid NEET PG 2026 score. Only candidates whose names appear in this list can proceed to choice filling and seat allotment.
The merit list covers four categories of postgraduate courses: MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), Post-MBBS Diploma (such as DM, M.Ch, and other diploma qualifications), and DNB (Diplomate of National Board) broad-speciality seats. These are state quota seats reserved for Uttarakhand-domiciled MBBS graduates. If you are an MBBS doctor from outside Uttarakhand, you will not appear in this state merit list; you would be eligible only for all-India counselling through MCC (Medical Counselling Committee).

Preparing Your Choice List: Strategy for MD, MS, and DNB Seats
Before choice filling begins, research the colleges and specialities available in Uttarakhand. The merit list covers MD, MS, Post-MBBS Diploma, and DNB seats across government and private medical institutions in the state. Gather information about each college's reputation, infrastructure, faculty, and placement record. Also check the typical cutoff ranks for each speciality and college from previous years to estimate your chances.
Create a ranked list of your preferred colleges and courses in order of your genuine preference. Remember: the portal will allot you the highest-ranked choice for which you are eligible based on your merit rank and category. If you rank a college first but your rank does not qualify for it, you will be considered for your second choice, and so on. Be strategic but honest—do not rank a college first just because it is prestigious if you would prefer a different speciality or location. Once you lock your choices, they cannot be changed.
- Research colleges, specialities, and previous cutoff ranks
- Rank colleges and courses in genuine order of preference
- Consider location, infrastructure, and speciality interest
- Understand that allotment follows your ranked preference
- Lock choices carefully—they cannot be changed after deadline

What Happens After Seat Allotment: Reporting and Admission
Once the final result is declared on November 2, 2026, log in to the portal to check your allotted seat. The notification will show your assigned college, course (MD/MS/DNB/Diploma), and speciality. If you are satisfied with the allotment, you must report to the college by November 10, 2026, with all required documents: your NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), and identity proof.
If you do not report by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate in the merit list. If you are not allotted a seat in Round 1, you may be eligible for Round 2 counselling (if announced by HNBUMU). Some candidates also choose to participate in all-India counselling through MCC if they wish to explore seats outside Uttarakhand.
- Check allotment result on November 2, 2026, after 8 PM
- Report to college by November 10, 2026, with all documents
- Bring NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree, domicile, and ID proof
- Non-reporting results in seat cancellation
- Eligible candidates may participate in Round 2 if announced
Why Uttarakhand State Quota Matters for Your PG Career
Uttarakhand state quota seats are reserved exclusively for MBBS graduates who hold Uttarakhand domicile. These seats are typically easier to secure than all-India seats because the competition is limited to domicile-eligible candidates. If you are domiciled in Uttarakhand, this Round 1 counselling is your primary pathway to a PG seat in the state. Missing this opportunity means you would have to compete in all-India counselling, where cutoff ranks are usually much higher.
The state quota also offers stability: once you secure a seat through state counselling, you are guaranteed admission to that college and speciality. This is particularly valuable if you are aiming for a specific college or if your NEET PG rank is moderate. Many MBBS doctors from Uttarakhand use state counselling as their first choice and then decide whether to participate in all-India counselling based on the outcome.
- State quota seats reserved for Uttarakhand-domiciled MBBS graduates
- Lower competition compared to all-India counselling
- Guaranteed admission once allotted
- Primary pathway for Uttarakhand doctors to secure PG seats
- Opportunity to choose between state and all-India counselling
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Choice Filling and Reporting
Many candidates lose seats due to preventable errors. The most common mistake is missing the choice-filling deadline. The portal closes at 11:59:59 PM on October 30, 2026—not a second later. If you have not locked your choices by then, you will not be considered for allotment. Set a reminder at least one day before the deadline and complete your choice filling early to avoid last-minute technical issues.
Another frequent error is providing incorrect or incomplete documents during reporting. Ensure your NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, domicile certificate, and category certificate (if applicable) are all original or certified copies. Colleges will not accept photocopies or digital versions alone. Also, verify that your name on all documents matches exactly—even a spelling variation can cause rejection. Finally, do not assume you will get a seat in Round 2 if you miss Round 1 reporting; always report on time if allotted.
- Do not miss the choice-filling deadline (October 30, 11:59:59 PM)
- Lock choices early to avoid technical delays
- Bring original or certified copies of all documents
- Ensure name spelling matches across all certificates
- Report by November 10, 2026—do not assume Round 2 will be available
- Verify your allotment immediately after result declaration
