In short

DGME Uttar Pradesh is running Round 1 of UP NEET PG 2026 state-quota counselling for MD, MS, Diploma and DNB seats. Registration closed at 11 AM on 26 October and the state merit list was scheduled for the same day. Choice filling and locking runs until 5 PM on 30 October. The Round 1 allotment result is due on 2 November, with allotment letters and admission on 3–7 November and 12–13 November. Everything happens online at upneet.gov.in.

Updated 27 October 2026. The schedule is from DGME’s Round 1 notice dated 17 October 2026, as reported by Careers360 (20 October), Medical Dialogues (21 October), FreeJobAlert (20 October) and CollegeDekho (24 October), which agree on every date below. The candidate instructions are from DGME’s “important information” directive as published by Medical Dialogues. The ₹3,000 registration fee is reported only by PW. We could not open upneet.gov.in from our system, so we could not confirm that the merit list went up on 26 October; check upneet.gov.in and dgme.up.gov.in before you pay or lock choices.

As reported by PW, the registration fee was a non-refundable ₹3,000; the security deposit amount is in DGME’s notice.

The All India Quota is separate and run by MCC; see our MCC NEET PG 2026 schedule.

Rules in DGME’s instructions that can cost you a seat

  • Lock your choices. Unlocked choices are not considered for allotment. There is no limit on the number of choices, but fill only colleges you would join.
  • DNB state-quota seats are only for UP in-service candidates on the list issued by the Director General, Medical and Health Services on 16 October 2026.
  • PMHS weightage for MD/MS state-quota seats applies only to candidates on that 16 October list.
  • The security amount is not adjusted against tuition under any circumstances.
  • Private college admissions happen at a nodal centre named in the allotment letter; government seats are taken up at the college itself.
  • OBC and EWS certificates must be dated 1 April 2026 or later, and reservation certificates must be issued by a UP competent authority in the UP format.
  • Missing or wrong originals at admission lead to cancellation and forfeiture of the security deposit; forged documents lead to cancellation and legal action.

How UP Round 1 overlaps with MCC Round 1

MCC’s Round 1 AIQ joining window runs from 26 October to 2 November, as reported by Careers360 and MedAdmit, and the UP Round 1 result is due on 2 November. If you hold an MCC Round 1 seat and are also filling UP choices, read MCC’s rules on resignation and upgrade before you decide what to join. A low-rank candidate weighing branches can use our least competitive clinical branches page and the NEET PG low score options guide.

Private and deemed PG fees vary widely. Our deemed MD/MS fees page shows how high three-year costs can go, so read each private college’s fee notice before you lock it.

What to do in the next 4 days

  1. Check the state merit list on upneet.gov.in and note your state rank.
  2. Shortlist branches and colleges you would actually join, with fees checked for all three years.
  3. Fill and lock choices before 5 PM on 30 October. Do not leave locking for the last hour.
  4. Keep originals ready: NEET PG scorecard, MBBS documents, registration and UP-format category certificates.
  5. Check the result on 2 November and plan for admission between 3 and 7 November.
