Uttarakhand NEET PG 2026 round 1 provisional merit list out: choice filling ends October 30

Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), Dehradun, released the Uttarakhand NEET PG 2026 Round 1 provisional merit list on October 28, 2026, after 3:00 PM. The list, available on the official portal hnbumu.ac.in, supports admissions for MD, MS, Post-MBBS Diploma, and Post-DNB courses under state quota postgraduate medical and dental seats.

Only registered candidates who meet the NEET PG 2026 scores and Uttarakhand domicile rules are featured in the published list. The release of this provisional list marks a key step in the centralized, merit-based state admission process administered by HNBUMU, which manages 50% of government seats and 100% of private college seats in the state.

Revised Round 1 Counselling Schedule and Key Dates

HNBUMU has issued a revised schedule for the Round 1 counselling process. Online registration and security fee submission concluded on October 27, 2026. Following the display of the provisional merit list, candidates are now in the choice filling and locking phase, which is set to close on October 30, 2026. Data processing for seat allotment will occur on October 31 and November 1, 2026.

The declaration of results for Round 1 is scheduled for November 2, 2026, after 8:00 PM. Candidates allotted seats will have until November 10, 2026, to complete the joining formalities at their respective colleges. This timeline is crucial for all participating candidates to ensure they do not miss any deadlines.

Objection Submission and Final Merit List Publication

Registered candidates are advised to log in with their credentials to access and verify their details on the provisional merit list. If any errors are found in their record, candidates have an official window to file an objection. Such objections must be submitted on the HNBUMU portal with supporting proof, including their NEET PG scorecard and domicile certificate.

The provisional list serves as the initial filter in Uttarakhand PG medical admissions. The final Round 1 merit list will be published by HNBUMU only after all valid objections have been reviewed and addressed. Only candidates whose names appear on this final list will be eligible to participate in the subsequent choice filling and seat allotment processes.

Eligibility Criteria and Seat Distribution

To be eligible for Uttarakhand NEET PG 2026 counselling, candidates must have qualified NEET PG 2026 with the specified minimum percentiles: 50th for General/EWS, 40th for SC/ST/OBC, and 45th for UR-PwD categories. Further requirements include possessing a recognized MBBS degree or provisional pass certificate from an NMC-recognized college and completing or being scheduled to complete a mandatory 12-month rotatory internship by the official cutoff date. Candidates must also hold permanent or provisional medical registration from NMC or the Uttarakhand State Medical Council.

For state quota eligibility, candidates must have valid Uttarakhand domicile/residency or have completed their MBBS from a recognized institution within Uttarakhand. Non-Uttarakhand candidates are eligible exclusively for the Private Management Quota seats. HNBUMU administers 50% of government college seats and 100% of private college seats, while the remaining 50% of government seats are surrendered to the All India Quota (AIQ) managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
