Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026: 15 Seats Cancelled After Certificate Verification

Uttarakhand's NEET UG 2026 counselling authority has cancelled 15 provisional MBBS seat allotments from Rounds 1 and 2. The cancellations follow verification of domicile, category, and sub-category certificates by District Magistrates and college principals. Candidates whose names appear in the official list below have lost their seats entirely and have no claim to admission. This is a critical notice—if you received a provisional allotment in Uttarakhand Rounds 1 or 2, check the list immediately to see if you are affected.

What Happened: Why Seats Were Cancelled

After provisional allotment in Rounds 1 and 2, Uttarakhand's counselling board conducted verification of three critical documents for every admitted candidate: domicile certificate, category certificate, and sub-category certificate (where applicable). This verification was done by college principals and District Magistrates in each candidate's home district.

For 15 candidates, the verification reports came back showing that their certificates were either invalid, fraudulent, or did not match their claims during counselling. For example, a candidate may have claimed OBC status but the District Magistrate found the OBC certificate was not genuine, or a candidate claimed domicile in Uttarakhand but the domicile certificate was rejected.

Because these candidates' eligibility claims could not be verified, their provisional allotments have been cancelled entirely. They are no longer entitled to the seat they were offered and must not attempt to join the college.

The 15 Cancelled Seats: Full List with Details

Below is the complete official list of all 15 candidates whose seats have been cancelled. The table shows the candidate's NEET roll number, name, the college they were allotted to, and the category under which they were allotted. Read this carefully—if your name or roll number appears here, your admission is cancelled.

The colleges affected are GMC Haldwani, VCSG Srinagar, GMC Haridwar, GMC Almora, GDMC Doon, and GMC Haridwar. Most cancellations are in the OBC and UR (Unreserved) categories, with several in the Orphan sub-category.

Why Certificate Verification Matters: What the Authority Checks

During counselling, candidates make claims about their domicile (state of residence), caste/category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS), and sub-category (Orphan, Freedom Fighter, etc.). These claims determine which seats they are eligible for and which merit list they appear on. However, the authority does not verify these claims at the time of allotment—it trusts the candidate's self-declaration.

After allotment, the authority conducts post-admission verification. College principals and District Magistrates check whether the certificates the candidate submitted are genuine, whether they were issued correctly, and whether they match the candidate's claims. For example, if a candidate claimed OBC status, the District Magistrate verifies that the OBC certificate is valid and that the candidate's name and details match.

If verification fails—because the certificate is forged, expired, issued to someone else, or does not match the claim—the allotment is cancelled. The candidate loses the seat immediately and has no right to appeal or claim it back.

What 'No Claim Over the Provisionally Allotted Seat' Means

The notice states: 'the candidates whose names/details are mentioned below shall have no claim over the provisionally allotted seat.' This is absolute and final. It means:

You cannot join the college. If you report to the college, you will be turned away.

You cannot appeal or request a review. The decision is based on official verification by the District Magistrate.

You cannot transfer to another seat or round. Your allotment is cancelled, not deferred.

You have no right to any compensation or alternative seat. The seat is gone.

If you have already paid fees or made arrangements to join, you must stop immediately and contact the counselling authority for guidance on what happens next (whether you can participate in a future round, if any).

• You cannot join the college
• You cannot appeal or request a review
• You cannot transfer to another seat or round
• You have no right to compensation or an alternative seat
• If you have already paid fees, contact the counselling authority immediately

Common Reasons for Cancellation: What Went Wrong

Based on the notice and the categories of cancelled candidates, the most common reasons for cancellation are likely:

**Fraudulent or forged domicile certificate**: The candidate claimed to be a domicile of Uttarakhand but the District Magistrate found the domicile certificate was not genuine or was issued incorrectly.

**Invalid or expired category certificate**: The candidate claimed OBC, SC, ST, or EWS status, but the certificate was either forged, expired, or issued to someone else.

**Mismatch between certificate and claim**: The candidate's name, date of birth, or other details on the certificate did not match what they claimed during counselling.

**Sub-category fraud**: The candidate claimed to be an Orphan or Freedom Fighter's child, but the supporting documents could not be verified.

**Certificate issued after the cutoff date**: Some states require category certificates to be issued before a certain date (e.g., before the NEET exam). If the certificate was issued after that date, it is invalid.

The notice does not specify the exact reason for each cancellation, so if you are affected, you must contact the District Magistrate or the counselling authority to find out why your certificate was rejected.

• Fraudulent or forged domicile certificate
• Invalid or expired category certificate
• Mismatch between certificate and claim
• Sub-category fraud (Orphan, Freedom Fighter, etc.)
• Certificate issued after the cutoff date

What Happens Next: Future Rounds and Verification

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 authority will continue to receive verification reports and will publish updated cancellation lists as more reports come in.

If you are not on this list, your allotment is still provisional and valid—but it remains subject to verification. If your verification fails later, you may still be cancelled.

If you are on this list, you should check the counselling portal to see if there are any further rounds (Round 3, Mop-up, etc.) that you might be eligible for. However, you will need to provide corrected or genuine certificates if you wish to participate in future rounds. Do not attempt to submit the same fraudulent or invalid certificates again.

The authority has not announced a date for the next round or any further counselling. Check the official counselling portal (www.hnbumu.ac.in) regularly for updates.

If Your Name Is on the List: Immediate Steps to Take

**Step 1: Confirm it is really you.** Check your NEET roll number and name carefully. Make sure the entry matches your details exactly.

**Step 2: Do not report to the college.** If you have not yet joined, do not go to the college or submit any documents. Your seat is cancelled.

**Step 3: If you have already joined or paid fees, contact the college immediately.** Inform them that your allotment has been cancelled and ask for a refund of any fees paid. Keep all receipts and correspondence.

**Step 4: Contact the District Magistrate's office in your home district.** Ask them why your certificate was rejected and what you need to do to correct it. Request a written explanation.

**Step 5: Check if you can reapply in a future round.** Contact the Uttarakhand Centralized Counselling Board (HNBUMU) and ask whether you are eligible to participate in Round 3, Mop-up, or any other future round. If so, find out what corrected documents you need to submit.

**Step 6: Obtain corrected certificates if needed.** If your domicile or category certificate was rejected, work with the District Magistrate or the issuing authority to obtain a corrected or genuine certificate. Do not attempt to forge or alter documents.

**Step 7: Keep all documentation.** Save copies of the cancellation notice, the District Magistrate's explanation, and any corrected certificates you obtain. You may need these for future counselling rounds or for appeals.

• Confirm your NEET roll number and name match the list exactly
• Do not report to the college
• If you have already joined or paid fees, contact the college for a refund
• Contact the District Magistrate to find out why your certificate was rejected
• Ask the counselling board if you can participate in future rounds
• Obtain corrected or genuine certificates from the issuing authority
• Keep all documentation for future reference

If Your Name Is NOT on the List: What This Means for You

If you received a provisional allotment in Rounds 1 or 2 and your name does not appear on this cancellation list, your allotment is still valid. You are entitled to join the college you were allotted to.

However, your allotment is still provisional and subject to verification. The notice indicates that verification is ongoing and more cancellation lists may be published. If your verification fails later, you could still be cancelled.

To protect yourself, ensure that all your certificates (domicile, category, sub-category) are genuine, valid, and match your claims during counselling. If you have any doubts about your certificates, contact the issuing authority now to verify them before you join the college.

If you have not yet joined the college, do so as soon as possible and complete all admission formalities. Bring all original certificates and be prepared to submit them for verification.

Understanding the Categories and Sub-Categories in the List

The cancellation list includes candidates from several categories and sub-categories. Understanding what these mean will help you understand why certain candidates were cancelled:

**OBC FF**: OBC (Other Backward Class) category with FF (Freedom Fighter) sub-category. The candidate claimed to be the child of a Freedom Fighter.

**UR FF**: Unreserved (General) category with FF (Freedom Fighter) sub-category.

**OBC OPEN**: OBC category, no sub-category claim.

**SC OPEN**: Scheduled Caste category, no sub-category claim.

**UR Orphan**: Unreserved category with Orphan sub-category. The candidate claimed to be an orphan.

**EWS OPEN**: Economically Weaker Section category, no sub-category claim.

**SC ORPHAN**: Scheduled Caste category with Orphan sub-category.

Candidates in sub-categories (FF, Orphan) require additional supporting documents beyond the standard category certificate. If these documents could not be verified, the allotment was cancelled. For example, an Orphan candidate must provide a death certificate of both parents and a guardianship order—if these are missing or forged, the allotment is cancelled.

• OBC FF: OBC with Freedom Fighter sub-category
• UR FF: Unreserved with Freedom Fighter sub-category
• OBC OPEN: OBC category only
• SC OPEN: Scheduled Caste category only
• UR Orphan: Unreserved with Orphan sub-category
• EWS OPEN: Economically Weaker Section category only
• SC ORPHAN: Scheduled Caste with Orphan sub-category
