PPMET 2026 4th round counselling: choice filling ends today, seat allotment on October 15

The Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) announced the schedule for the 4th Round Counselling for admission to the B.Sc. Nursing Course under PPMET-2026 in Punjab. Today, October 12, 2026, marks the final day for candidates to submit their online college, category, and quota preferences for this round.

This online counselling process by BFUHS supports B.Sc. Nursing seat allotment for the 2026 session. The subsequent steps include seat allotment processing, provisional result declaration, and a window for objections, culminating in college reporting and admission formalities by October 19, 2026.

PPMET 2026 4th Round Counselling Schedule

The counselling process for the 4th round commenced with candidates surrendering seats by October 7, 2026. The tentative vacancy position was displayed on October 8, 2026, followed by the deadline for NRI/Foreign National Eligibility Certificate submission on October 9, 2026. Seat allotment processing is scheduled for October 13 and 14, 2026, with the provisional result to be displayed on October 15, 2026.

Candidates have until October 16, 2026, up to 3:00 PM, to submit any objections to the provisional allotment. A revised allotment, if necessary, will be displayed on the same day. The final stage involves college reporting, document checking, medical checkup, and fee payment, which will take place from October 17 to October 19, 2026.

Eligibility and Seat Allotment Process

All PPMET-2026 qualified candidates from Punjab and other states are eligible to participate in this counselling round. The qualifying criteria for the General category is the 40th percentile, while for SC/ST/OBC categories, it is the 30th percentile. General-PwD candidates require a 35th percentile, and SC/ST/OBC-PwD candidates need a 30th percentile.

Other-state candidates will be considered for seat allotment after eligible Punjab candidates. BFUHS advises candidates not to limit their choices solely to colleges or seats appearing vacant in the initial vacancy position, as additional vacancies may arise due to seat upgradation, shifting, surrender of seats, and conversion of eligible reserved or NRI seats into Open Merit seats. Seat allotment is determined by the candidate’s merit, choices/preferences, seat availability, applicable reservation policy, and government/university rules. Failure to complete the admission process within the notified period can result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat.

Next Steps for Allotted Candidates

Candidates who are allotted a seat in the 4th Round of PPMET 2026 counselling must report to their respective colleges between October 17 and October 19, 2026. This period is designated for completing all necessary admission formalities, as stated by the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS). These formalities include joining the allotted college, undergoing original document verification, and eligibility verification.

Further steps for allotted candidates involve a medical checkup and the payment of applicable fees. BFUHS emphasizes that failure to complete the entire admission process within the specified timeframe, which concludes on October 19, 2026, could lead to the forfeiture of the allotted seat.
