Lucknow: Candidates who got MBBS/BDS seats in UP NEET-UG Counselling 2026 (State Quota) Round 2 must complete their admission/reporting today, 1 October 2026, as per the revised schedule on the official UP NEET portal (DGME-UP). The Round 2 seat allotment result was declared on 25 September 2026, and the admission window runs from 26 September to 1 October 2026.

Officials and counselling instructions have repeatedly said that downloading the allotment letter is not enough. Candidates must complete the full admission process within the deadline. This includes physically reporting at the designated location, getting documents verified and paying the applicable fees.

Where to report: government vs private seats

As per the Round 2 instructions:

  • Government college allotment: Report to the concerned Medical/Dental College/Institute/University for admission formalities.
  • Private college allotment: Report at the concerned Board Centre (not only the college campus), as mentioned in your allotment/admission instructions.

Since the reporting place can differ by type of allotment, re-check your allotment letter and the latest instructions on upneet.gov.in before you travel.

Key warning: Round 2 is not a "free exit"

One of the most important rules of Round 2 is that admission is mandatory for allotted candidates. If a candidate does not take admission after Round 2 allotment, the counselling instructions say:

  • The entire security deposit may be forfeited, and
  • To take part in Round 3, the candidate may have to deposit the security amount again.

This is very different from the Round 1 "free exit" idea that many students carry forward. In Round 2, skipping admission can be costly.

Security deposit amounts (as reported for UP NEET UG 2026)

  • Government Medical/Dental: ₹30,000

  • Private Medical (MBBS): ₹2,00,000

  • Private Dental (BDS): ₹1,00,000

These amounts are separate from the registration fee and are linked to the participation and joining rules.

Documents to carry today

Carry original documents along with several sets of photocopies. The commonly required items are: Round 2 allotment letter, NEET UG admit card, NEET scorecard, Class 10 and 12 certificates, photo ID, counselling payment receipts, passport size photos, domicile/reservation certificates (if applicable), and any other document asked for by the allotted institute or Board Centre.

Special note for two new private colleges

Candidates allotted seats in Kalpnath Rai Institute of Medical Sciences, Mau or RSSS Medical College & Hospital, Mathura should read the fee notice carefully. A provisional MBBS tuition amount of ₹15,99,973 by demand draft has been asked for, subject to final fee fixation (a difference may have to be paid later).

Reporting time: do not assume one cutoff for everyone

The revised schedule confirms 1 October as the last day of admission, but a single closing time for all centres may not be clearly mentioned in every notice. It is safer to report as early as possible and confirm the exact timing with your allotted college or Board Centre.
