Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) has released the official list of 21 candidates who were selected on float (a provisional seat) in Round-1 of NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in Uttarakhand. These candidates are now eligible to participate in Round-3 counselling, where they can attempt to upgrade to a better college, course, or quota category. This list is critical: if your name appears here, you have a second chance to improve your allotment without losing your current seat. If your name does not appear, you were either allotted a regular (non-float) seat in Round-1 or were not selected in that round.
If your name is on this list, you were selected on float in Round-1 and can now apply for upgradation in Round-3 — you may be able to move to a better college or course while keeping your current seat as a backup.

Unlock My College ListWhat is a Float Seat and Why Does It Matter?
A float seat is a provisional or temporary allotment given to a candidate in one round of counselling. It is not a permanent seat. Float candidates are placed in a college and course, but they are eligible to participate in the next round (in this case, Round-3) to try to upgrade — that is, move to a better college, a different course, or a higher quota category (such as from State Quota to All India Open Quota).
The key advantage of being a float candidate is that you do not lose your current seat if you apply for upgradation. If you are not upgraded in Round-3, you retain your Round-1 float allotment. This gives you a risk-free opportunity to improve your position. However, if you are upgraded in Round-3, your Round-1 seat is cancelled and you move to the new allotted college and course.
Being on this list means you have successfully cleared the eligibility criteria in Round-1 and have been placed in a medical or dental college in Uttarakhand. Your name, NEET roll number, rank, marks, allotted category, college, course, and quota type are all recorded in this official document.
Who Is on This List?
This list contains 21 candidates from Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 counselling. The candidates are listed in order by serial number and include their full names, NEET roll numbers, NEET ranks, NEET percentiles, marks obtained, allotted category, allotted college, allotted course (MBBS or BDS), allotted quota type, and admission status (all marked as 'Selected Float').
The list includes candidates across multiple categories: UR (Unreserved/Open), UR(WOMEN), ST (Scheduled Tribe), SC (Scheduled Caste), OBC(NCL), and UR(ORPHAN). Candidates have been allotted to various government and private medical and dental colleges across Uttarakhand, including Government Doon Medical College Dehradun, Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Government Medical & Research Institute Srinagar Garhwal, Soban Singh Jeena Govt. Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Almora, Government Medical College Haldwani, Seema Dental College Rishikesh, Uttaranchal Dental College Dehradun, Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences Dehradun, and Gautam Buddha Chiktsa Mahavidayalaya Dehradun.
The NEET ranks on this list range from 5,858 (highest rank, 99.70 percentile) to 737,778 (lowest rank, 62.94 percentile). This wide range reflects the diversity of candidates selected across different categories and quota types.
How to Check If Your Name Is on the List
To verify whether you are a float candidate eligible for Round-3 upgradation, carefully search the list by your name or NEET roll number. The list is presented in a table format with 21 rows (one for each candidate) and columns showing all relevant details. Start by scanning the 'Candidate Name' column, or if you know your NEET roll number, search that column instead.
If you find your name and your admission status shows 'Selected Float', you are confirmed as a float candidate and are eligible to participate in Round-3 counselling. Make a note of your allotted college, course, category, and quota type — these are your current seats that will be retained if you do not upgrade or if your upgradation attempt is unsuccessful.
If your name does not appear on this list, it means you were either allotted a regular (non-float) seat in Round-1, or you were not selected in Round-1 at all. In either case, you should check the official HNBUMU counselling portal or contact the university directly to confirm your status and eligibility for Round-3.
Colleges and Courses Represented on This List

Categories and Quota Types on This List
The candidates on this list represent multiple reserved and unreserved categories. UR (Unreserved/Open) candidates form the majority, including both general UR and UR(WOMEN) candidates. Reserved category candidates include ST (Scheduled Tribe), SC (Scheduled Caste), and OBC(NCL) (Other Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer). There is also one UR(ORPHAN) candidate and one UR(DPW) candidate (Differently Abled Person).
The quota types allotted are State Quota Seats (the majority of allotments) and All India Open Quota Seats. State Quota Seats are filled through state-level counselling and are reserved for candidates from Uttarakhand. All India Open Quota Seats are open to candidates from across India and are filled through the national counselling process. Understanding your current quota type is important because upgradation may allow you to move between quota types depending on availability and your rank.

What Happens Next: Round-3 Upgradation Process
As a float candidate on this list, you are now eligible to participate in Round-3 counselling, where you can attempt to upgrade your seat. Upgradation means you can apply to move to a better college (e.g., from a private college to a government college, or from a lower-ranked government college to a higher-ranked one), a different course (e.g., from BDS to MBBS if eligible), or a higher quota category (e.g., from State Quota to All India Open Quota).
The Round-3 upgradation process will be conducted by HNBUMU through its official counselling portal. You will need to log in with your credentials, review the available seats for upgradation, and submit your choices in order of preference. The system will then process your application and, if you are eligible and a better seat is available, you will be upgraded. If no better seat is available or if you are not eligible for the seats you chose, you will retain your current Round-1 float allotment.
It is crucial to note that participation in Round-3 upgradation is optional. If you are satisfied with your current Round-1 allotment, you do not have to apply for upgradation. However, since upgradation is risk-free (you keep your current seat if you are not upgraded), most candidates choose to participate. Watch the HNBUMU website and your registered email and phone number for the exact dates and instructions for Round-3 counselling.
Important Dates and Deadlines
This list does not specify the exact dates for Round-3 counselling. The document only confirms that these 21 candidates are eligible for upgradation in Round-3, but does not provide the schedule for when Round-3 will take place, when the choice-filling window will open and close, or when the Round-3 result will be announced.
You must check the official HNBUMU counselling portal (https://meta-secure.com/HNBUMUCollegLogin/ or the main HNBUMU website) regularly for announcements regarding Round-3 dates. Typically, counselling rounds are conducted with a gap of a few days to a week, but this can vary. Missing the Round-3 choice-filling deadline could mean you lose the opportunity to upgrade and are locked into your Round-1 allotment.
Set a reminder to check the HNBUMU website daily from the date this list is released. Register your mobile number and email with the counselling portal to receive notifications about Round-3 dates and instructions. Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media for dates — always verify on the official HNBUMU portal.
Documents and Information You Will Need for Round-3
To participate in Round-3 upgradation counselling, you will need to have the following information and documents ready. First, you must have your NEET roll number, NEET rank, and NEET score (marks obtained). These are already recorded in this list, but you should have them available for reference when you log into the counselling portal.

Second, you will need your login credentials for the HNBUMU counselling portal. If you have already participated in Round-1, you should have these credentials. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it through the portal's 'Forgot Password' option. Ensure you have access to the email address and phone number you registered with, as the portal may send verification codes to these.
Third, you should have your category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other supporting documents that were submitted during Round-1. These documents are typically not re-submitted for upgradation rounds, but you should have them available in case the portal requires verification or if there are any discrepancies. Finally, ensure you have a clear understanding of your current allotment (college, course, quota) and the colleges and courses you wish to upgrade to.

Common Mistakes to Avoid as a Float Candidate
One of the most common mistakes float candidates make is assuming they must participate in Round-3 upgradation. While upgradation is risk-free, some candidates panic and make hasty choices without thinking through their preferences. Before you submit your Round-3 choices, carefully review all available seats, their locations, and the colleges' reputations. Do not apply for a seat just because it is 'better' on paper — ensure it aligns with your career goals and personal circumstances.
Another critical mistake is missing the Round-3 choice-filling deadline. Because upgradation is optional and there is no penalty for not participating, some candidates procrastinate and forget to submit their choices by the deadline. Once the deadline passes, you cannot participate in that round, and you are locked into your Round-1 allotment. Set multiple reminders and submit your choices well before the deadline.
A third mistake is not understanding the difference between your current allotment and the seats available for upgradation. Some candidates are confused about which colleges and courses they can upgrade to. Before Round-3, carefully read the official HNBUMU notification that lists the available seats for upgradation. Not all seats may be available for all candidates — availability depends on your rank, category, and quota type.
Finally, some candidates make the mistake of not verifying their details on this list. If there is an error in your name, NEET roll number, rank, marks, category, or allotted college/course, you must report it to HNBUMU immediately. Do not assume the list is correct — verify every detail against your NEET admit card and Round-1 allotment letter.
What If Your Name Is Not on This List?
If your name does not appear on this list of 21 float candidates, it does not necessarily mean you were not selected in Round-1. There are several possibilities: (1) You were allotted a regular (non-float) seat in Round-1, which means your allotment is permanent and you do not need to participate in upgradation rounds unless you choose to. (2) You were not selected in Round-1 at all, which means you may be eligible to participate in subsequent counselling rounds (such as Round-2 or later rounds) if they are conducted. (3) There may be an error in the list or in your registration.
To clarify your status, log into the HNBUMU counselling portal and check your Round-1 allotment letter. This letter will clearly state whether you were allotted a regular seat or a float seat, and which college and course you were allotted to. If you were allotted a regular seat, you are not eligible for upgradation in Round-3 (unless the HNBUMU notification specifically allows regular candidates to participate, which is rare). If you were not selected in Round-1, check the official HNBUMU website for announcements about subsequent counselling rounds.
If you believe there is an error — for example, you were allotted a float seat in Round-1 but your name does not appear on this list — contact HNBUMU immediately. Provide your NEET roll number, name, and Round-1 allotment letter as proof. Do not wait; errors must be corrected before Round-3 counselling begins.
How to Prepare for Round-3 Upgradation
Start by thoroughly reviewing this list and confirming your details. Check your name, NEET roll number, rank, marks, category, allotted college, allotted course, and quota type. If everything is correct, make a note of your current allotment — this is your safety net if upgradation does not work out.
Next, research the colleges and courses you might want to upgrade to. Visit the official websites of Uttarakhand medical and dental colleges, read about their facilities, faculty, placements, and location. Consider factors such as distance from your home, hostel facilities, course reputation, and career prospects. Make a list of colleges and courses you would be happy to move to, ranked in order of preference.
Then, monitor the HNBUMU website daily for the Round-3 notification. This notification will specify the exact dates for choice-filling, the list of available seats for upgradation, and the process to be followed. Read the notification carefully and understand all the rules and procedures before Round-3 begins.
Finally, on the day Round-3 choice-filling opens, log into the counselling portal early, review the available seats one more time, and submit your choices in order of preference. Do not rush — take your time to make thoughtful decisions. Once you submit, you cannot change your choices, so ensure they are correct before clicking 'Submit'.

What does 'float' mean in NEET UG counselling?
A float seat is a provisional allotment given to a candidate in one round of counselling. Float candidates are placed in a college and course but are eligible to participate in the next round to try to upgrade to a better college, course, or quota category. The key advantage is that if you are not upgraded, you retain your current float seat — there is no risk of losing your allotment.
If my name is on this list, what does it mean?
If your name appears on this list with 'Selected Float' status, it means you were selected on a float seat in Round-1 of NEET UG 2026 counselling. You have been allotted a specific college, course, and quota type, which are listed in the table. You are now eligible to participate in Round-3 counselling to attempt to upgrade to a better seat.
Do I have to participate in Round-3 upgradation if I am a float candidate?
No, participation in Round-3 upgradation is optional. If you are satisfied with your current Round-1 allotment, you can choose not to participate and retain your float seat. However, since upgradation is risk-free (you keep your current seat if you are not upgraded), most candidates choose to participate to explore better options.
What happens if I apply for upgradation in Round-3 but am not upgraded?
If you apply for upgradation in Round-3 but are not upgraded (because no better seat is available or you are not eligible for the seats you chose), you will retain your Round-1 float allotment. Your current college, course, and quota remain unchanged. You can then proceed with admission to your allotted college.
What happens if I am upgraded in Round-3?
If you are upgraded in Round-3, your Round-1 float seat is cancelled and you are allotted a new college, course, or quota type based on your Round-3 choices and eligibility. You must then proceed with admission to your new allotted college. Your previous Round-1 allotment is no longer valid.
When will Round-3 counselling take place?
This list does not specify the exact dates for Round-3 counselling. You must check the official HNBUMU counselling portal regularly for announcements regarding Round-3 dates, choice-filling window, and result declaration. Typically, counselling rounds are conducted with a gap of a few days to a week, but this can vary.
What if my name is not on this list but I was selected in Round-1?
If your name is not on this list, it means you were either allotted a regular (non-float) seat in Round-1, or you were not selected in Round-1 at all. Check your Round-1 allotment letter on the HNBUMU portal to confirm your status. If you were allotted a regular seat, you are not eligible for upgradation in Round-3 (unless the HNBUMU notification specifically allows it).
Can I upgrade from BDS to MBBS or vice versa in Round-3?
This list does not explicitly state whether course changes (BDS to MBBS or vice versa) are allowed during upgradation. The availability of such changes depends on the Round-3 notification issued by HNBUMU. Check the official Round-3 notification for details on which course changes are permitted based on your rank and category.
Can I upgrade from State Quota to All India Open Quota or vice versa?
Yes, upgradation can include a change in quota type. For example, if you are currently allotted a State Quota seat and your rank is high enough, you may be able to upgrade to an All India Open Quota seat in a better college. However, the availability of such upgrades depends on your rank, category, and the seats available in Round-3. Check the Round-3 notification for details.
What documents do I need to submit for Round-3 upgradation?
Typically, you do not need to re-submit documents for upgradation rounds. Your documents from Round-1 are already on file with HNBUMU. However, ensure you have your login credentials for the counselling portal, your NEET roll number, and your Round-1 allotment letter ready. If there are any discrepancies or if the portal requests additional documents, contact HNBUMU immediately.
What should I do if I find an error in my details on this list?
If you find an error in your name, NEET roll number, rank, marks, category, or allotted college/course on this list, contact HNBUMU immediately. Provide your NEET admit card and Round-1 allotment letter as proof. Do not wait — errors must be corrected before Round-3 counselling begins to avoid complications during upgradation.
How do I know which colleges and courses are available for upgradation in Round-3?
The list of available seats for upgradation in Round-3 will be provided in the official Round-3 notification issued by HNBUMU. This notification will specify which colleges, courses, and quota types have seats available for upgradation. Check the HNBUMU website regularly for this notification, which will be released before the Round-3 choice-filling window opens.
If your name appears on this list, verify all your details immediately and confirm your current allotment (college, course, quota). Watch the HNBUMU counselling portal daily for the Round-3 notification, which will provide exact dates, available seats, and instructions for upgradation. Research colleges and courses you wish to upgrade to, and prepare your preference list in advance. When Round-3 choice-filling opens, log in early, review your options carefully, and submit your choices before the deadline. Remember: upgradation is optional and risk-free — if you are not upgraded, you retain your Round-1 float seat.
