Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), Dehradun has released the provisional merit list for Round 1 of NEET PG 2026 counselling for MD, MS, DNB (broad-speciality) and PG Diploma seats in Uttarakhand. The merit list includes 1,021 candidates ranked by their NEET-PG marks, with additional weightage (10–30%) applied to eligible PMHS (Post-MBBS Health Scheme) candidates who have submitted valid documents. This is a provisional list subject to verification and counter-signature by DGHS (Directorate General of Health Services). Candidates must verify their eligibility, category, and documents immediately, as errors now can lead to rejection during seat allotment.
Your provisional state rank depends on your NEET-PG marks plus any weightage you claimed; verify all details now, because missing or invalid documents will result in loss of benefits or outright rejection.

Unlock My College ListWhat This Merit List Means
This provisional merit list ranks all candidates who registered for NEET PG 2026 Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling and paid the required security fee. The list is based on your NEET-PG score received from NBE (National Board of Examinations) plus any weightage you claimed during online registration.
The list is called 'provisional' because it is subject to verification and counter-signature by DGHS. This means the counselling board will check your eligibility, reservation status, No Objection Certificate (NoC), and the validity of documents you uploaded. If any document is missing, invalid, or does not meet the required format, your entitled benefit will not be applied, or your candidature may be rejected entirely.
Your position on this list determines the order in which you will be offered seats during counselling rounds. A higher rank (lower number) gives you first choice of available seats and specialities.
How Merit Was Calculated: NEET Marks + Weightage
Your merit score is calculated as follows: your raw NEET-PG marks are the base. If you are a PMHS candidate (Post-MBBS Health Scheme — a government doctor who has committed to serve in rural/underserved areas), you may have claimed weightage of 10%, 20%, or 30% based on your years of service in a remote area.
Weightage is added only if you (1) claimed it during online registration, (2) uploaded a valid experience certificate issued by the Director General of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Uttarakhand, and (3) the certificate is in the required format. For example, if your NEET score is 400 and you claimed 30% weightage with valid documents, your merit score becomes 400 + (400 × 0.30) = 520.
Candidates who did not claim weightage, or whose documents are invalid or missing, appear on the list with their raw NEET marks only. The 'Marks after Weightage' column shows your final merit score; the 'State Rank' column shows your position in Uttarakhand.
- PMHS weightage: 10%, 20%, or 30% based on years of service in remote area
- Weightage applied only if valid experience certificate uploaded
- Certificate must be issued by DG Health, Govt. of Uttarakhand, in required format
- Non-PMHS candidates: merit = raw NEET marks only
Who Is Eligible: Domicile, MBBS State, and Quota Rules
To appear on this merit list, you must have registered for 'NEET PG-2026 UTTARAKHAND STATE CENTRALISED COUNSELLING' and paid the security fee. Eligibility is determined by your domicile (Uttarakhand or other state), the state in which you completed MBBS, and your category (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS).
**Uttarakhand domicile candidates:** You are eligible for all seat types — state quota clinical seats, AIQ (All India Quota) seats, and Post-MBBS DNB and PG Diploma seats — subject to your category and any other conditions.
**Non-Uttarakhand domicile candidates:** If you completed MBBS in Uttarakhand, you are eligible for AIQ seats, Post-MBBS DNB, and PG Diploma seats only. If you completed MBBS in another state, you are eligible only for MD/MS AIQ quota seats, Post-MBBS DNB, and PG Diploma seats, and only if you pay the required security fee.
**PMHS and Uttarakhand bonded candidates:** These candidates are considered only for clinical seats, subject to the terms and conditions of the NoC (No Objection Certificate) issued by the Director General of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Uttarakhand. If your NoC is not uploaded or is invalid, you will not be considered for clinical seats.
- Uttarakhand domicile: eligible for state quota clinical, AIQ, DNB, and PG Diploma seats
- Non-UK domicile, MBBS from UK: eligible for AIQ, DNB, and PG Diploma seats only
- Non-UK domicile, MBBS from other state: eligible for MD/MS AIQ, DNB, and PG Diploma seats only
- PMHS/bonded candidates: clinical seats only, subject to valid NoC from DG Health
Critical Trap: Missing or Invalid Documents = Rejection
⚠️ **This is the most common reason for rejection.** The notice explicitly states: 'In case the candidate has failed to upload any essential relevant/valid document, the entitled benefit will not be applied or the candidature will be rejected as the case may be.'

If you claimed weightage but did not upload a valid experience certificate, or if the certificate is not in the required format (issued by DG Health, Govt. of Uttarakhand), your weightage will not be applied. Your merit score will revert to your raw NEET marks, and your rank will drop.
If you are a PMHS or Uttarakhand bonded candidate but did not upload a valid NoC, you will not be considered for clinical seats. You may be offered only AIQ or other non-clinical seats, or your candidature may be rejected entirely.
If you claimed any other benefit (category certificate, sub-category, disability status) and the document is missing or invalid, that benefit will be lost. Check the 'Remarks' column on the merit list — if it shows 'Valid Experience certificate of Remote area in required format issued by DG Health not uploaded,' your weightage has not been applied, and you must contact the counselling authority immediately.
- ⚠️ Missing experience certificate = weightage not applied, rank drops
- ⚠️ Invalid NoC = PMHS/bonded status not recognized, clinical seats not offered
- ⚠️ Missing category certificate = category benefit lost
- ⚠️ Invalid document format = document rejected, benefit lost
- ✅ Check 'Remarks' column for your name — if it flags missing documents, act now
How to Find Your Name and Verify Your Details
The merit list contains 1,021 candidates ranked by state rank (1 to 1,021). To find yourself: (1) search for your NEET roll number or name in the list, (2) note your state rank, NEET marks, and marks after weightage, (3) verify your domicile, MBBS state, category, and sub-category.
Check the following columns carefully: **Domicile of UK** (YES = Uttarakhand domicile, NO = other state), **MBBS STATE** (UK = Uttarakhand, OTH = other state), **NEET Category** (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS), **UK Category** (your state-level category), **Sub Category** (e.g., WOMEN, DPW = Differently Abled Person, FF = Freedom Fighter, etc.), **PMHS UK** (YES/NO), **UK Bonded** (YES/NO), **Weightage Claimed** (the percentage you claimed), **% Weightage Applied** (the percentage actually applied), and **Remarks** (any flags or issues).
If any detail is wrong — for example, your domicile is marked NO when you are a UK resident, or your category is UR when you are OBC — you must contact the counselling authority immediately with proof (domicile certificate, caste certificate, etc.). Do not wait for allotment; errors now will cause rejection later.
- Search by NEET roll number or name
- Verify domicile, MBBS state, category, and sub-category
- Check weightage claimed vs. weightage applied
- Read the 'Remarks' column for any flags
- If any detail is wrong, contact counselling authority with proof immediately
Understanding Your Category and Quota
Your **NEET Category** is your national-level category (UR = Unreserved, OBC = Other Backward Class, SC = Scheduled Caste, ST = Scheduled Tribe, EWS = Economically Weaker Section) as recognized by NBE. Your **UK Category** is your state-level category as recognized by Uttarakhand. These may differ; for example, you may be UR nationally but OBC in Uttarakhand.
Your **Sub Category** may include WOMEN (if you are a woman candidate), DPW (Differently Abled Person), FF (Freedom Fighter), or NONE (no sub-category). These sub-categories may entitle you to additional benefits or reserved seats.
**PMHS UK** (Post-MBBS Health Scheme, Uttarakhand) = YES means you are a government doctor who has committed to serve in rural/underserved areas and have claimed weightage. **UK Bonded** = YES means you are an Uttarakhand bonded candidate (a doctor who has agreed to serve in the state for a specified period). Both PMHS and bonded candidates are eligible for clinical seats only, subject to a valid NoC.
Your quota determines which seats you can be offered. Uttarakhand domicile candidates can access state quota clinical seats. All eligible candidates can access AIQ (All India Quota) seats. DNB and PG Diploma seats are open to eligible candidates as per rules.
- NEET Category: national-level (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS)
- UK Category: state-level category in Uttarakhand
- Sub Category: WOMEN, DPW, FF, or NONE
- PMHS UK: YES = weightage claimed and applied (if documents valid)
- UK Bonded: YES = bonded to serve in Uttarakhand
- Clinical seats: PMHS and bonded candidates only (with valid NoC)
What Happens Next: Verification and Allotment
This is a **provisional** list. Before seat allotment, the counselling board will verify your eligibility, category, NoC, and documents. If any document is invalid or missing, your benefits will be withdrawn or your candidature rejected.
After verification, the counselling board will publish a **final merit list**. This final list will reflect any corrections made during verification. Your rank may change if documents are rejected or if errors are corrected.
Once the final merit list is published, counselling rounds will begin. In each round, you will be offered seats in order of your rank. You must accept or reject each offer within the given time. If you accept, you must report to the college and complete joining formalities. If you reject, you move to the next round.
**Important:** The notice advises candidates to visit the university website regularly for updates on counselling dates, allotment results, and joining deadlines. Do not miss any deadline; missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat.

Special Rules for PMHS and Bonded Candidates
**PMHS candidates** (Post-MBBS Health Scheme) are government doctors who have served in remote/underserved areas of Uttarakhand. If you are a PMHS candidate, you are eligible for weightage of 10%, 20%, or 30% based on your years of service. To claim this weightage, you must upload a valid experience certificate issued by the Director General of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Uttarakhand, in the required format.
**PMHS candidates who passed MBBS from another state** are eligible only for MD/MS AIQ quota seats, Post-MBBS DNB, and PG Diploma seats. You are NOT eligible for state quota clinical seats. You must pay the required security fee.

**Critical:** If your NoC is not uploaded or is invalid, you will not be considered for clinical seats. You may be offered only AIQ or other non-clinical seats. If you are a PMHS candidate and your experience certificate is not uploaded or is in an invalid format, your weightage will not be applied, and your rank will drop significantly.

- Experience certificate must be issued by DG Health, Govt. of Uttarakhand
- PMHS from other state: AIQ, DNB, PG Diploma seats only (not state quota clinical)

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
How is my merit score calculated if I claimed weightage?
Your merit score = your raw NEET-PG marks + (NEET marks × weightage percentage). For example, if your NEET score is 400 and you claimed 30% weightage with valid documents, your merit score = 400 + (400 × 0.30) = 520. Weightage is applied only if you uploaded a valid experience certificate issued by DG Health, Govt. of Uttarakhand, in the required format. If the certificate is missing or invalid, your weightage is not applied, and your merit score remains your raw NEET marks.
I am a PMHS candidate from another state. Which seats am I eligible for?
You are eligible only for MD/MS AIQ (All India Quota) seats, Post-MBBS DNB seats, and PG Diploma seats. You are NOT eligible for state quota clinical seats in Uttarakhand. You must pay the required security fee to participate in counselling.
What does 'Remarks' column mean, and why does it say my experience certificate is not uploaded?
The 'Remarks' column flags issues with your documents. If it says 'Valid Experience certificate of Remote area in required format issued by DG Health not uploaded,' it means you claimed weightage but did not upload a valid certificate, or the certificate you uploaded is not in the required format. As a result, your weightage has NOT been applied, and your merit score is your raw NEET marks only. Your rank has dropped. Contact the counselling authority immediately to upload a valid certificate.
I am a bonded candidate. Am I eligible for all seats?
No. Bonded candidates are eligible for clinical seats only, subject to a valid No Objection Certificate (NoC) issued by the Director General of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Uttarakhand. If your NoC is not uploaded or is invalid, you will not be considered for clinical seats. You may be offered only AIQ or other non-clinical seats, or your candidature may be rejected.
My domicile is marked 'NO' on the merit list, but I am an Uttarakhand resident. What should I do?
This is an error that must be corrected immediately. Contact the counselling authority with proof of your Uttarakhand domicile (domicile certificate, Aadhaar, voter ID, etc.). Do not wait for allotment. If this error is not corrected before verification, you may lose eligibility for state quota clinical seats and be offered only AIQ seats.
What is the difference between NEET Category and UK Category?
NEET Category is your national-level category (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) as recognized by NBE. UK Category is your state-level category as recognized by Uttarakhand. These may differ. For example, you may be UR nationally but OBC in Uttarakhand. Your UK Category determines your eligibility for state quota seats in Uttarakhand.
Is this merit list final, or can my rank change?
This is a PROVISIONAL merit list. Your rank may change after verification by the counselling board. If your documents are found to be invalid or missing, your benefits will be withdrawn, your weightage will not be applied, or your candidature may be rejected. A final merit list will be published after verification. Your rank on the final list may be different from your rank on this provisional list.
When will counselling rounds begin, and what should I do now?
The notice does not specify exact dates for counselling rounds. However, you must act now: (1) Find your name and verify all details. (2) Check for any document flags in the 'Remarks' column. (3) If any detail is wrong or any document is flagged, contact the counselling authority immediately with proof. (4) Ensure all your documents are valid and in the required format. (5) Check the university website regularly for announcements about verification, final merit list, and counselling round dates.
I did not claim weightage. Will my rank change after verification?
If you did not claim weightage, your merit score is your raw NEET marks, and your rank is based on that. Your rank should not change after verification unless there is an error in your domicile, category, or other eligibility details. However, you should still verify all your details on the merit list to ensure there are no errors.
What happens if I miss a counselling deadline?
The notice does not specify the consequences of missing a deadline, but typically, if you miss a deadline to accept or reject a seat offer, or to report to a college, you may lose your seat and be considered ineligible for further rounds. Check the university website regularly for all deadlines and do not miss any of them.
Can I appeal if my rank is wrong or my documents are rejected?
The notice does not mention an appeal process. However, if you believe your rank is wrong or your documents have been incorrectly rejected, contact the counselling authority immediately with proof and request a review. Do not wait for allotment; act as soon as you notice the error.
I am a woman candidate. Do I get any additional benefit?
The merit list shows 'WOMEN' in the 'Sub Category' column for woman candidates. This may entitle you to additional benefits or reserved seats depending on Uttarakhand's policies. Check the counselling authority's information brochure or website for details on women's reservations and benefits.
This provisional merit list is your first step in the NEET PG 2026 counselling process. **Act immediately:** find your name, verify every detail, check for document flags, and contact the counselling authority if anything is wrong. Do not assume your rank is final — it will be verified and may change. Check the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University website daily for updates on verification, final merit list publication, and counselling round dates. Missing any deadline or failing to correct errors now can cost you your seat.
