The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has taken UP NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2 into its most crucial phase yet. As per the latest update on the official counselling portal upneet.gov.in, the Round 2 seat allotment result was released on 25 September 2026, and starting 26 September 2026, candidates can download their allotment letters and begin the admission/reporting process.
For students and parents, this is really the window that matters most — just checking the result isn’t enough. If you’ve been allotted a seat, you’ll need to follow the instructions in your allotment letter and complete all the formalities within the given timeline.
Key dates to remember (Round 2)
Based on the revised Round 2 schedule:
- 21 September 2026: Round 2 State Merit List released
- 21 Sept (2:00 PM) to 24 Sept (11:00 AM): Online choice filling
- 25 September 2026: Round 2 seat allotment result declared
- 26 September to 1 October 2026: Allotment letter download plus admission/reporting window
Treat 1 October 2026 as the final deadline for wrapping up the Round 2 admission process, unless your allotment letter mentions additional college-specific timing requirements.
Merit list and seat matrix: what the numbers really mean
The Round 2 State Merit List includes 33,043 candidates. This number reflects the eligible and registered pool for Round 2 — it doesn’t mean there are 33,043 seats up for grabs.
The tentative Round 2 seat matrix shows a combined 3,656 MBBS and BDS seats spread across 116 institutions. Here’s the breakup:
- MBBS: 3,108 seats (370 government + 2,738 private)
- BDS: 548 seats (26 government + 522 private)
One clear takeaway from these numbers — a large chunk of Round 2 availability sits in the private sector, so it’s worth checking college-wise fees and admission conditions carefully rather than just going by the total vacancy count.
Why you should rely on the revised schedule, not older dates
This year’s counselling process has seen quite a few mid-process updates and reschedules, so older articles and early timelines can end up being confusing. The safest bet is to check the latest notices on upneet.gov.in and read through the revised schedule document and instructions posted there.
