In short
Uttar Pradesh has opened Round 3 of NEET UG 2026 state counselling for MBBS and BDS at upneet.gov.in. Registration opened on 26 October and closes on 28 October (2 PM, as reported by MedAdmit). The merit list is due on 28 October, choice filling runs from 28 to 31 October, and the Round 3 allotment result is due on 2 November. The security deposit is ₹30,000 for government colleges only and ₹2,00,000 if you want private colleges, plus a ₹2,000 registration fee.
Updated 27 October 2026. The Round 3 dates and deposits come from Careers360’s UP counselling page (updated 27 October 2026, 8:58 AM) and MedAdmit (27 October 2026), which agree on the registration close, merit list, choice filling and result dates. Clock times, the private BDS deposit and the 3–7 November admission window are reported only by MedAdmit. Fee figures are from Careers360’s report of the DGME fee notice (3 September 2026). We could not open upneet.gov.in from our system, so check the DGME Round 3 notice on upneet.gov.in before you pay.

Registration fee and security deposit

Careers360 reports that the deposit is forfeited if you do not report to the college you are allotted, or withdraw after the process ends. Read the refund clause in the Round 3 bulletin before you pay ₹2,00,000. Our refund and exit rules guide explains how forfeiture usually works.
Who can take part in Round 3
- Fresh registration is allowed. Careers360 reports that the Round 3 application form is open, and MedAdmit says Round 3, unlike Round 2, takes fresh registrations, so candidates who missed Rounds 1 and 2 can enter now.
- Joined candidates are out. As reported by MedAdmit, a candidate who has already joined a seat from Round 1 or Round 2 cannot register again.
- Fill only colleges you would join. A Round 3 allotment that you do not take up can cost you the deposit.
- Domicile and category rules are in the DGME bulletin. Our UP DGME counselling guide explains how government and private seats are handled in UP.
