Arunachal Pradesh NEET UG 2026 —
Round 1 Seat Allotment Result Declared

Yes. The Round 1 seat allotment result for PCB group counselling, revised from 21 to 27 August 2026 to stay reconciled with the delayed MCC AIQ Round 1 schedule, was declared as scheduled on 27 August 2026. Check your individual allotment status directly at apdhte.nic.in — we have not seen a published cutoff or seat-by-seat allotment list ourselves, so treat any rank-cutoff figure you see elsewhere with caution unless it traces back to the Directorate's own publication. Reporting dates and the Round 2 schedule remain subject to the revised timetable the Directorate said it would announce separately.

Circular No. HTE-18/1/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 August 2026, from the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar, signed by Director Dr. Milorai Modi. It sets out the full online counselling schedule for candidates who appeared in NEET-UG 2026 and want a seat in PCB group courses through the state.

Online provisional registration runs 13–19 August 2026, at either apdhte.nic.in or apjee.co.in — both portals are named in the circular as valid. Document upload and response to any queries continues one day longer, to 20 August, up to 12:00 noon. The Information Brochure and registration instructions are published on the same two websites.

Round 1: choice filling and locking 13–20 August, list of eligible registered candidates published 20 August after 4:00 PM. Seat allotment, revised from 21 August, was declared as scheduled on 27 August 2026 due to the postponement of the All India Counselling (MCC AIQ Round 1). Round 2 (previously pencilled for 28 August), reporting windows, seat withdrawal and any spot round remain unconfirmed pending a revised schedule the Directorate says will follow separately.

PwD candidates were required to report to the Medical Board at the Conference Hall of TRIHMS, Naharlagun, for medical examination and final confirmation of PwD status and fitness for the course, in a window between 12 and 18 August 2026 that has now closed. If you fall under this category and missed it, contact apdhte.nic.in or the Directorate directly rather than assume a late assessment will be accepted.

Yes, and the circular does not hide this. It states candidates should keep all original documents and photocopies ready for verification as and when required, and the schedule itself is subject to the usual revisions state counselling authorities make at short notice. Check apdhte.nic.in directly before finalising any travel plans around these dates.

The Directorate says it is due to the postponement of the All India Counselling — MCC’s own AIQ Round 1 schedule slipped this cycle, and Arunachal Pradesh, like several other states, pushed its own Round 1 allotment to stay reconciled with the national process. The Directorate’s notice describes 27 August 2026 as a Friday; our own calendar check shows 27 August 2026 actually falls on a Thursday (28 August is the Friday). Confirm the exact day directly on apdhte.nic.in rather than relying on the day-name in the notice, and treat Round 2 and later dates as unconfirmed until the Directorate issues the promised revised schedule.

Not with precision, and be wary of anyone who claims otherwise. The Directorate’s 20 August merit list shows 814 registered candidates, All India Rank 18,036 to 17,65,877. OEF cross-checked all 814 against MCC’s AIQ Round 1 Provisional Result and found 48 — mostly APST, concentrated at the very top of the list — already hold a provisional AIQ seat elsewhere, which may reduce real competition for the state’s own seats. But the Directorate has not published how many PCB seats are actually available this cycle, so no one can respectably state an exact predicted cutoff. Send OEF your rank and category for a personalised, honest read.
