Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026: Provisional Seat Allotment Cancelled (List-IV)

The Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) has cancelled the provisional MBBS/BDS seat allotment of one candidate from Rounds I and II of the Uttarakhand State Centralized Counselling for NEET UG 2026. The cancellation was ordered after verification of the candidate's domicile, category, and sub-category certificates by District Magistrates revealed discrepancies or false claims. This is List-IV of such cancellations, published on 6 October 2026. If your name appears on this list, your seat is no longer yours, and you have no claim to it. The university will continue to upload updated lists as more verification reports arrive from districts.

What is this notice about?

This is a cancellation notice. During Rounds I and II of Uttarakhand's NEET UG 2026 counselling, the state allocated provisional MBBS and BDS seats to candidates based on their merit rank, seat preferences, and their claims about domicile (state residency), category (SC/ST/OBC/General), and sub-category (if applicable).

After allotment, the state conducted verification of these claims. Principals of the colleges where candidates were admitted, and District Magistrates in each district, checked whether the domicile, category, and sub-category certificates submitted by candidates were genuine and valid. If verification failed — for example, if a domicile certificate was forged, or a category certificate did not match the candidate's actual status — the allotment was cancelled.

This notice lists candidates whose provisional allotments have been cancelled as a result of failed verification. If your name is on this list, your seat is gone, and you cannot claim it. You will need to wait for further counselling rounds (if any) or explore other options.

Who is affected by this cancellation?

Only one candidate is named in this List-IV: ALIS TOMAR (NEET Roll No. 4409101596), who was provisionally allotted a seat in the UR FF (Unreserved Female Fresher) category at GMC Haldwani in Rounds I or II.

If your NEET roll number and name do not appear in the table below, your allotment is still valid — this notice does not affect you. However, the university has stated that more lists will be uploaded as verification reports continue to arrive from District Magistrates, so check the counselling portal regularly if you are concerned.

Why was the allotment cancelled?

The allotment was cancelled because verification of the candidate's domicile, category, or sub-category certificate(s) failed. This means one or more of the following may have occurred: the domicile certificate was found to be invalid or forged; the category certificate (SC/ST/OBC) did not match the candidate's actual status; the sub-category claim (if any) was not substantiated; or the candidate did not meet the residency requirements for Uttarakhand domicile.

Verification was conducted by the principals of the colleges where candidates were admitted and by the District Magistrates of the respective districts. These officials cross-checked the certificates against official records. If discrepancies were found, the allotment was cancelled and the candidate's name was added to this cancellation list.

What happens if your name is on this list?

If your name appears on this cancellation list, your provisional seat allotment is now void. You have no claim to the seat that was allotted to you. The seat will be reallocated to another candidate in a subsequent round or through a waitlist, if applicable.

You will not be able to report to the college or complete admission formalities. If you have already paid fees or submitted documents to the college, contact the college immediately to clarify your status and request a refund if applicable.

Your next step depends on whether further counselling rounds are scheduled. Check the Uttarakhand counselling portal (www.hnbumu.ac.in) for announcements about Round III or any other subsequent rounds. If you are eligible and wish to participate, you may be able to apply in the next round.

What is domicile verification and why does it matter?

Domicile means you are a permanent resident of Uttarakhand. Many MBBS and BDS seats in Uttarakhand are reserved for domicile candidates — that is, candidates who have lived in the state for a specified period (usually 12 years or more, or as per state rules). When you apply for counselling, you claim domicile status and submit a domicile certificate issued by the District Magistrate or Tehsildar.

During verification, the District Magistrate checks whether your domicile certificate is genuine and whether you actually meet the residency criteria. If the certificate is fake, or if you do not meet the residency period, your domicile claim is rejected. This affects your eligibility for domicile-reserved seats. If you were allotted a seat based on a false domicile claim, your allotment is cancelled.

What is category and sub-category verification?

Category refers to your social classification: General (UR), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Other Backward Class (OBC). Many seats are reserved for SC, ST, and OBC candidates. When you apply, you claim a category and submit a category certificate issued by the District Magistrate or Tehsildar.

Sub-category refers to further divisions within a category — for example, some states have sub-categories within OBC (Creamy Layer vs. Non-Creamy Layer). During verification, the District Magistrate checks whether your category certificate is genuine and whether your sub-category claim (if any) is correct. If the certificate is forged or your actual category differs from your claim, your allotment is cancelled.

In this case, the candidate ALIS TOMAR was allotted a seat in the UR FF (Unreserved Female Fresher) category, which does not involve category or domicile reservation. However, the verification process still checks all certificates submitted by the candidate to ensure they are valid and truthful.

How does the verification process work?

After provisional allotment in Rounds I and II, the college principals and District Magistrates begin verification. The college principal collects the original certificates from the candidate and forwards them to the District Magistrate. The District Magistrate then verifies the authenticity of the domicile, category, and sub-category certificates against official records maintained by the district administration.

If verification is successful, the allotment remains valid and the candidate can proceed to admission. If verification fails, the District Magistrate sends a report to the Uttarakhand Centralized Counselling Board stating that the candidate's certificates are invalid or the claims are false. The board then cancels the allotment and publishes the candidate's name in a cancellation list.

The board has stated that it will continue to upload updated cancellation lists as more verification reports arrive from the districts. This means more names may be added to future lists if their verification fails.

What should you do if your name is on this list?

First, confirm that the name and NEET roll number on the list match yours. Check the table above carefully. If they do, your allotment has been cancelled.

Second, contact the college where you were allotted (in this case, GMC Haldwani) to inform them of the cancellation and to clarify any fees or documents you may have submitted. Request a refund of any fees paid, if applicable.

Third, check the Uttarakhand counselling portal (www.hnbumu.ac.in) regularly for announcements about further counselling rounds. If Round III or subsequent rounds are scheduled, you may be eligible to participate if you meet the eligibility criteria and your certificates are valid.

Fourth, if you believe the cancellation is an error — for example, if your certificate is genuine and you have proof — contact the District Magistrate's office in your district immediately to request a review of the verification decision. Provide all supporting documents.

• Confirm your name and NEET roll number on the cancellation list
• Contact the allotted college (GMC Haldwani) to clarify your status and request a refund if applicable
• Check the counselling portal regularly for announcements about further rounds
• If you believe the cancellation is an error, contact the District Magistrate's office with proof of the validity of your certificates

When will the next counselling round be held?

This notice does not mention the date of the next counselling round. The Uttarakhand Centralized Counselling Board will announce the schedule for Round III (if applicable) separately on the counselling portal.

Check www.hnbumu.ac.in regularly for updates. You can also contact the board directly for information about further rounds and your eligibility to participate.

Will more cancellation lists be published?

Yes. The notice states: 'Upon receipt of the verification reports from the District Magistrates regarding the domicile, category and sub-category certificates of the candidates, the list of candidates shall be uploaded on the counselling portal from time to time.' This means the board will continue to receive verification reports from districts and will publish updated cancellation lists as more reports arrive.

If you were allotted a seat in Rounds I or II and have not yet seen your name on a cancellation list, your allotment may still be valid — but it is not final until the verification process is complete. Check the portal regularly to see if your name appears in future lists.

Important: What documents are required for verification?

Although this notice does not detail the specific documents required, the verification process checks domicile, category, and sub-category certificates. To avoid cancellation in future rounds, ensure that:

Your domicile certificate is issued by the District Magistrate or Tehsildar and is genuine and current. It must show that you have resided in Uttarakhand for the required period (typically 12 years or as per state rules).

Your category certificate (if claiming SC/ST/OBC) is issued by the District Magistrate or Tehsildar and is genuine. It must match your actual social category.

Your sub-category certificate (if applicable) is valid and correctly describes your status (e.g., Creamy Layer or Non-Creamy Layer for OBC).

All certificates are original, not photocopies, and are presented to the college principal during the verification process.

• Domicile certificate must be genuine, issued by District Magistrate/Tehsildar, and show required residency period
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC) must be genuine and match your actual category
• Sub-category certificate (if applicable) must be valid and accurate
• Present original certificates to the college principal during verification
