Uttarakhand's Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Medical Education University (HNBUMU) has released the provisional merit list for Round 1 of NEET PG 2026 counselling for MD, MS, DNB (broad-speciality), and PG Diploma seats. The list ranks 1,021 candidates based on NEET PG scores, domicile status, category, and weightage marks claimed by PMHS (Permanent Medical Health Service) candidates. This is a provisional list subject to verification and counter-signature by DGHS (Directorate General of Health Services). Candidates must verify their details, check if weightage has been correctly applied, and ensure all required documents are uploaded before the next phase of counselling.
Your position in this merit list determines your eligibility for seat choice in Round 1 counselling, but the list is provisional and subject to document verification—missing or invalid certificates can lead to rejection or loss of weightage benefits.

Unlock My College ListWhat This Merit List Means for You
This provisional merit list is the foundation of Round 1 seat allotment. Your rank on this list determines the order in which you will be offered seats during choice filling. The list has been prepared using your NEET PG 2026 score, your domicile status (Uttarakhand or other state), your category (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS), and any weightage marks you claimed as a PMHS candidate.
The list is called 'provisional' because it is subject to final verification by DGHS. This means the counselling board will check your eligibility, reservation status, No Objection Certificate (NoC) from your employer (if applicable), and the validity of any documents you uploaded to claim weightage. If documents are missing or invalid, your weightage may be removed or your candidature may be rejected entirely.
Your state rank (shown in the rightmost column) is your position among all candidates in this list. A lower state rank means you will get to choose your specialty and college earlier in the choice-filling process.
How the Merit List Was Prepared
The merit list is based on primary data from NBE (National Board of Examinations) for NEET PG 2026, combined with information you provided when you registered online for 'NEET PG-2026 UTTARAKHAND STATE CENTRALISED COUNSELLING' and paid the required security fee. Your NEET PG score and rank from NBE form the core of your position.
For PMHS candidates (doctors who have worked in Permanent Medical Health Service positions in Uttarakhand), weightage marks of 10%, 20%, or 30% have been added to their NEET scores based on the duration of service they claimed and for which they uploaded valid documents. For example, if you scored 400 marks and claimed 3 years or more of PMHS service, 30% weightage (120 marks) was added, giving you a final score of 520 for ranking purposes.
Candidates who did not claim weightage, or who are not PMHS candidates, appear on the list with their raw NEET PG score. The list is sorted by final score (after weightage) in descending order, with ties broken by NEET rank.
Understanding the Columns in the Merit List
Each row in the merit list contains the following information about you:
**S. No.** – Your serial number on the merit list (1 to 1021). **Candidate's Name** – Your full name as registered. **NEET Roll No.** – Your unique NEET PG 2026 roll number. **NEET Marks** – Your raw NEET PG score (out of 800). **NEET Rank** – Your all-India rank from NBE. **Domicile of UK** – Whether you are domiciled in Uttarakhand (YES) or another state (NO). **MBBS STATE** – The state where you completed your MBBS (UK = Uttarakhand, OTH = other state). **NEET Category** – Your category as per NEET (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS). **UK Category** – Your category as per Uttarakhand state rules (may differ from NEET category). **Sub Category** – Any sub-category (e.g., WOMEN, DPW = Differently Abled Person, FF = Freedom Fighter). **PMHS UK** – Whether you are a PMHS candidate (YES/NO). **Bonded** – Whether you are an Uttarakhand bonded candidate (YES/NO). **Weightage Claimed (Year)** – The duration of PMHS service you claimed (e.g., '3 years or more', 'Less than 1 year'). **% Weightage Applied** – The percentage of weightage actually applied (10, 20, 30, or NA if not applicable). **Marks after Weightage** – Your final score used for ranking. **State Rank** – Your position on this merit list. **Remarks** – Any notes about missing documents or eligibility issues.

Weightage for PMHS Candidates: What You Need to Know
If you are a PMHS candidate (a doctor who has worked in Permanent Medical Health Service positions in Uttarakhand), you may be eligible for weightage marks. Weightage is added to your NEET PG score to reward your service commitment. The amount of weightage depends on how long you worked:
**Less than 1 year of service:** 10% weightage is added to your NEET score. **1 year to less than 3 years:** 20% weightage is added. **3 years or more:** 30% weightage is added. For example, if you scored 400 marks and have 2 years of PMHS service, 20% of 400 (= 80 marks) is added, giving you a final score of 480 for ranking.

⚠️ **Critical trap:** Weightage is only applied if you uploaded a valid No Objection Certificate (NoC) from the Director General of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Uttarakhand, AND valid experience certificates in the required format. If the Remarks column shows 'Valid Experience certificate of Remote area in required format issued by DG Health not uploaded,' your weightage will NOT be applied, and your candidature may be rejected. Check the Remarks column carefully.
- Less than 1 year PMHS service = 10% weightage
- 1 to less than 3 years PMHS service = 20% weightage
- 3 years or more PMHS service = 30% weightage
- Weightage is added to your NEET score to improve your rank
- ⚠️ Weightage is only applied if valid NoC and experience certificates are uploaded
- ⚠️ Missing or invalid documents = weightage NOT applied, candidature may be rejected
Eligibility Rules: Who Can Participate in Round 1
To be eligible for Round 1 counselling in Uttarakhand, you must meet the following criteria:
**MBBS qualification:** You must have completed your MBBS degree and be eligible to pursue postgraduate medical studies. **NEET PG 2026 score:** You must have appeared for and scored in NEET PG 2026. **Registration:** You must have registered online for 'NEET PG-2026 UTTARAKHAND STATE CENTRALISED COUNSELLING' and paid the required security fee. **Domicile or eligibility:** If you are domiciled in Uttarakhand, you are eligible for state quota seats. If you are from another state, you are eligible only for All-India Quota (AIQ) seats, Post-MBBS DNB seats, and PG Diploma seats (not state-specific clinical seats). **PMHS bonded candidates:** If you are an Uttarakhand bonded candidate (a doctor who has committed to work in Uttarakhand's medical service), you are eligible only for clinical seats as per the terms and conditions of your NoC.
**Important:** If you passed MBBS from a state other than Uttarakhand and are a PMHS candidate, you are eligible only for MD/MS AIQ quota seats, Post-MBBS DNB seats, and PG Diploma seats. You cannot compete for state-specific clinical seats reserved for Uttarakhand domiciles.
- Must have completed MBBS degree
- Must have appeared for NEET PG 2026
- Must have registered online and paid security fee
- Uttarakhand domiciles: eligible for state quota clinical seats
- Non-domiciles: eligible for AIQ, Post-MBBS DNB, and PG Diploma seats only
- PMHS bonded candidates: eligible for clinical seats only (as per NoC terms)
- PMHS candidates from other states: eligible for AIQ, DNB, and PG Diploma seats only
Critical Traps: Documents That Can Get You Rejected
The Remarks column in the merit list flags candidates whose documents are incomplete or invalid. If your name appears with a remark, your eligibility or weightage is at risk. Here are the most common issues:
**'Valid Experience certificate of Remote area in required format issued by DG Health not uploaded'** – This remark means you claimed PMHS weightage but did not upload the required experience certificate in the correct format. The certificate must be issued by the Director General of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Uttarakhand, and must be in the specific format prescribed by the counselling board. Without this, your weightage will NOT be applied, and your score will revert to your raw NEET marks. Your rank will drop significantly. **'NOC not uploaded'** – You claimed to be a PMHS or bonded candidate but did not upload your No Objection Certificate. Without a valid NoC, you will not be considered for PMHS weightage or bonded candidate benefits, and you may be ineligible for certain seat categories. **'NOC and Valid Experience certificate of Remote area in required format issued by DG Health not uploaded'** – Both documents are missing. Your candidature may be rejected entirely.
⚠️ **What to do immediately:** If you see a remark against your name, contact the counselling authority at once. Ask whether you can upload the missing document before the next phase. Do NOT assume you will be allowed to upload documents later—the counselling board may reject your candidature without further notice. If you have the document, upload it immediately through the official portal. If you do not have it, contact your employer (the health department or medical institution where you worked) to obtain it urgently.
- ⚠️ Missing experience certificate = weightage NOT applied, rank drops
- ⚠️ Missing NoC = PMHS benefits lost, may be ineligible for certain seats
- ⚠️ Missing both documents = candidature may be rejected
- ⚠️ Check Remarks column for your name immediately
- ⚠️ If you have a remark, upload missing documents urgently
- ⚠️ Do not wait—the counselling board may reject you without further notice
Category and Reservation: Understanding Your Eligibility
Your position on the merit list depends partly on your category. Uttarakhand uses both NEET category (as assigned by NBE) and Uttarakhand state category (as per state rules). The state category may differ from your NEET category in some cases.
**UR (Unreserved)** – Open to all candidates. No reservation. **OBC (Other Backward Class)** – Reserved for candidates belonging to OBC communities as per state list. **SC (Scheduled Caste)** – Reserved for SC candidates. **ST (Scheduled Tribe)** – Reserved for ST candidates. **EWS (Economically Weaker Section)** – Reserved for candidates from economically weaker sections, regardless of caste. **Sub-categories:** Some candidates have additional sub-categories such as WOMEN (female candidates, eligible for women's reservation in some seats), DPW (Differently Abled Person), or FF (Freedom Fighter). These sub-categories may entitle you to additional benefits or reserved seats.
Your category determines which seats you can compete for. For example, if you are SC, you can compete for SC-reserved seats and also for unreserved seats (if your rank is high enough). The merit list is typically prepared with candidates ranked within their own category first, then across categories. Check your UK Category column to see which category you are ranked under for Uttarakhand counselling.
- UR = Unreserved, open to all
- OBC = Other Backward Class, reserved
- SC = Scheduled Caste, reserved
- ST = Scheduled Tribe, reserved
- EWS = Economically Weaker Section, reserved
- WOMEN = Female candidates, may have additional reserved seats
- DPW = Differently Abled Person, may have reserved seats
- FF = Freedom Fighter, may have reserved seats
- Your category determines which seats you can compete for
What Happens Next: Choice Filling and Seat Allotment
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
After the merit list is finalized (following document verification), the counselling board will announce the dates for choice filling. During choice filling, you will log into the official portal and select your preferred specialties and colleges in order of preference. Your choices will be processed in order of your state rank—candidates with lower state ranks (higher on the merit list) get to choose first.
After all candidates have filled their choices, the counselling board will run an allotment algorithm to assign seats. You will be offered the highest-ranked choice for which a seat is available and for which you are eligible (based on your category and domicile). Once you are allotted a seat, you must report to the college and complete admission formalities by the deadline, or your seat will be cancelled.
**Important:** This is a provisional merit list. Your final rank may change if documents are found to be invalid or if weightage is removed. Stay in touch with the official counselling portal and check for updates regularly.
- Choice filling will be announced after merit list is finalized
- You will rank your preferred specialties and colleges
- Seats will be allotted in order of state rank
- Lower state rank = you choose first
- You will be offered your highest-ranked eligible choice
- You must report to the college by the deadline
- This is a provisional list; your rank may change after verification
How to Verify Your Details on the Merit List
Find your name on the merit list (candidates are listed by serial number, not alphabetically). Check the following details carefully:
**Your name and NEET roll number:** Ensure they match your NEET admit card exactly. **Your NEET score and rank:** Verify these match your NEET result. **Your domicile status:** Check whether you are marked as UK (Uttarakhand domicile) or NO (non-domicile). If you are domiciled in Uttarakhand but marked as NO, contact the counselling authority immediately. **Your category:** Verify your NEET Category and UK Category are correct. **Your state rank:** This is your position on the merit list. **Weightage applied:** If you claimed PMHS weightage, check whether the correct percentage (10%, 20%, or 30%) has been applied. **Remarks:** Check whether there are any remarks about missing documents.
If you find any error, contact the counselling authority immediately with proof (your NEET admit card, domicile certificate, category certificate, etc.). Do not assume errors will be corrected automatically.

**PMHS candidates who passed MBBS from another state** are eligible only for MD/MS AIQ quota seats, Post-MBBS DNB seats, and PG Diploma seats. You cannot compete for state-specific clinical seats reserved for Uttarakhand domiciles. This is a strict rule—if you are from another state, you will not be offered a state-quota clinical seat, even if your rank is very high.
- PMHS candidates eligible for clinical seats only (as per NoC)
- Bonded candidates eligible for clinical seats only (as per NoC)

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What does 'provisional merit list' mean, and can my rank change?
The merit list is called 'provisional' because it is subject to verification and counter-signature by DGHS. The counselling board will check your eligibility, reservation status, NoC, and the validity of documents you uploaded to claim weightage. If documents are found to be invalid or missing, your weightage may be removed or your candidature may be rejected, which will change your rank. Your final rank will be confirmed only after this verification is complete.
I claimed PMHS weightage but the Remarks column says my experience certificate was not uploaded. What happens now?
If your experience certificate is missing or in an invalid format, your weightage will NOT be applied. Your score will revert to your raw NEET marks, and your rank will drop significantly. Contact the counselling authority immediately to ask if you can upload the missing document. If you have the certificate, upload it urgently through the official portal. Do not wait—the counselling board may reject your candidature without further notice.
I am from another state but worked as a PMHS candidate in Uttarakhand. Which seats can I compete for?
You are eligible only for MD/MS AIQ quota seats, Post-MBBS DNB seats, and PG Diploma seats. You cannot compete for state-specific clinical seats reserved for Uttarakhand domiciles. This is a strict rule, and you will not be offered a state-quota clinical seat, even if your rank is very high.
How is weightage calculated? If I scored 400 marks and claimed 2 years of PMHS service, what is my final score?
For 2 years of PMHS service, you are eligible for 20% weightage. This means 20% of your NEET score is added to your raw score. 20% of 400 = 80 marks. Your final score = 400 + 80 = 480 marks. This final score is used to rank you on the merit list. However, weightage is only applied if you uploaded a valid NoC and experience certificate in the required format.
I found an error in my name, NEET score, or category on the merit list. What should I do?
Contact the counselling authority immediately with proof of the error (your NEET admit card, domicile certificate, category certificate, etc.). Do not assume errors will be corrected automatically. The counselling board may not correct errors after a certain deadline, so act quickly.
What is the difference between NEET Category and UK Category?
NEET Category is assigned by NBE (National Board of Examinations) based on your NEET application. UK Category is assigned by Uttarakhand based on state rules and may differ from your NEET category. For Uttarakhand counselling, your UK Category is used to determine which seats you are eligible for. Check both columns on the merit list to understand your eligibility.
When will choice filling happen, and how do I participate?
The counselling board will announce the dates for choice filling after the merit list is finalized. You will log into the official portal and rank your preferred specialties and colleges in order of preference. Candidates with lower state ranks (higher on the merit list) get to choose first. The exact dates and process will be announced on the official portal.
I am a bonded candidate. What does this mean for my eligibility?
As a bonded candidate, you have committed to work in Uttarakhand's medical service for a specified period. You are eligible only for clinical seats, as per the terms and conditions of your No Objection Certificate (NoC). Your NoC must clearly state the terms of your bond (duration, specialty restrictions, etc.). You must have uploaded this NoC during registration.
What happens if I don't report to the college after being allotted a seat?
If you are allotted a seat but do not report to the college by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled. You will not be eligible for any further seats in that round or subsequent rounds. Always report to the college on time and complete admission formalities by the deadline.
Can I appeal or request a review of my rank or weightage?
The notice does not mention an appeal process. However, if you believe there is an error in your rank, weightage, or eligibility, contact the counselling authority immediately with supporting documents. The counselling board may review your case if there is clear evidence of an error. Do not wait—there may be strict deadlines for appeals.
I am marked as 'NO' for Domicile of UK, but I am domiciled in Uttarakhand. How do I correct this?
Contact the counselling authority immediately with proof of your Uttarakhand domicile (domicile certificate issued by the state government). If you are incorrectly marked as non-domicile, you may be ineligible for state-quota seats. The counselling board must correct this before choice filling begins. Act quickly—there may be strict deadlines for corrections.
What is the difference between MD/MS, DNB, and PG Diploma seats?
MD and MS are university-awarded postgraduate degrees in medical and surgical specialties. DNB (Diplomate of National Board) is a broad-speciality postgraduate qualification awarded by NBEMS, equivalent to MD/MS. PG Diploma is a shorter postgraduate qualification in certain specialties. All three are eligible under NEET PG 2026 counselling. Your eligibility for each depends on your domicile, category, and PMHS status.
Your position on this merit list is provisional and subject to document verification. Check the Remarks column immediately for any flags about missing documents—if you see a remark, upload the missing certificate urgently or contact the counselling authority. Verify all your details (name, NEET score, category, domicile, weightage) are correct, and report any errors immediately. Stay in touch with the official Uttarakhand medical counselling portal for announcements about choice filling dates and next steps. Do not miss any deadlines—the counselling board will not grant extensions.
