UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Rescheduled: Choice Filling Till Sep 21

UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Counselling Rescheduled: Choice Filling Last Date 21 September

Big update for MBBS/BDS aspirants in Uttar Pradesh — the Directorate General of Medical Education & Training (DGME), UP has rescheduled the first round of online counselling for UP NEET UG 2026. If you're a candidate waiting on State Quota seat allotment, here's everything you need to know and do before the new deadline.

Why Was UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Rescheduled?

The rescheduling comes via Notice No. ME-3/2026/1705, dated 18 September 2026, issued by the Office of the Director General, Medical Education & Training, Uttar Pradesh. The revised timeline is:

• In compliance with Government Order No. 263/71-4099/1011/2022 dated 18 September 2026
• Following the order dated 16 September 2026 passed by the Hon'ble High Court, Allahabad (Lucknow Bench) in Writ-C No. 9943/2026

This directly affects admissions to State Quota seats in MBBS and BDS courses across government and private medical/dental colleges, institutes, and medical universities in Uttar Pradesh.

Important: Previous Allotment Stands Cancelled

If you received a seat allotment on 7 September 2026, note this carefully:

All admissions based on the earlier allotment dated 07.09.2026 have been declared invalid.

This means every eligible candidate must go through the choice-filling process again as per the new schedule below — there is no carry-forward of the previous allotment.

Revised UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Counselling Schedule

Key deadline to remember: Choice filling and locking closes on 21 September 2026 at 5:00 PM.

What Candidates Need to Do Right Now

1. Log in to the official portal — upneet.gov.in — before the deadline.
2. Complete choice filling and locking within the stipulated window (18–21 September 2026). Allotment will be granted only to candidates who complete this step on time.
3. Note: Choice filling for this rescheduled round will be based solely on the merit list already issued for Round 1 — no fresh merit list will be generated.
4. Wait for the allotment result on 22 September 2026.
5. Download your allotment letter and complete admission formalities between 23–26 September 2026, if allotted a seat.

What Remains Unchanged

According to the official notice, all other terms and conditions of the first round of counselling remain the same — only the dates have shifted. So candidates already familiar with the original counselling process, eligibility criteria, and document requirements don't need to worry about any procedural changes beyond the timeline.

Bottom Line

With the Allahabad High Court's intervention prompting this reschedule, 21 September 2026, 5:00 PM is now the single most important deadline for every UP NEET UG 2026 State Quota aspirant. Candidates should not wait until the last moment — choice filling and locking within the window is mandatory for allotment eligibility.
