Read the fee deadline separately from the correction deadline. The application fee must be deposited online by 3:00 PM on 11 August 2026 — two hours before the correction window itself closes at 5:00 PM the same day. A candidate who spends the morning fixing details in the form and plans to pay in the afternoon can easily miss the fee cut-off while the correction window is still technically open. Pay first, correct after.

What It Costs to Apply

CategoryFee
General & Other Categories₹5,000 + 18% GST = ₹5,900
Scheduled Caste (SC)₹2,500 + 18% GST = ₹2,950

PwBD candidates: a valid UDID Card or Disability Certificate is required, issued under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and meeting NMC's prescribed norms. This is stated directly in the notification — carry it, do not assume a doctor's letter will substitute for it.

How Punjab's Seats Split

85% State, 15% All India —
and Punjab Is a Closed State

BFUHS Faridkot runs the state-quota counselling for 85% of MBBS and BDS seats in Punjab's government colleges, and it also handles the government-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in the state's private medical and dental colleges. The remaining 15% of government college seats go through MCC as the All India Quota, on rank alone, with no domicile requirement.

Punjab is generally treated as a closed state for its own quota — state-quota seats, and typically the government and management shares in private colleges too, are reserved for candidates with Punjab domicile. A handful of minority-status institutions in the state may work differently under separate minority-admission provisions, but that is college-specific and worth confirming directly rather than assuming it applies to you.

The honest read for a Northeast India candidate. Without Punjab domicile, the 15% All India Quota through MCC is the reliable door into a Punjab government college. If you are chasing a private-college seat outside the domicile-restricted quotas, verify directly with that specific college before spending on the BFUHS application — do not assume every private seat in the state is open the way it is in, say, Puducherry or Gujarat's NRI stream.

Punjab Admission FAQs

Questions Parents Ask Us

When does Punjab MBBS and BDS admission 2026 open and close?
+

The prospectus goes live and online applications open on 5 August 2026 at bfuhs.ac.in. The application closes 10 August 2026 at 5:00 PM. A correction window follows, open until 11 August 2026 at 5:00 PM, after which the form locks automatically and no further changes are allowed.

What is the application fee for BFUHS 2026?
+

Rs 5,000 plus 18% GST, which comes to Rs 5,900, for General and other categories. SC candidates pay Rs 2,500 plus 18% GST, or Rs 2,950. The fee must reach the university's online payment gateway by 11 August 2026, 3:00 PM — two hours before the correction window itself closes that same day, which is easy to miss if you are watching the wrong deadline.

What do Sports category candidates need to do differently?
+

Submit two printed copies of the online application form, the Sports Gradation Certificate issued by the Director of Sports, Punjab, and self-attested copies of every supporting document, in person, at the Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot. This is required under Clause 15(v) of the notification, and the same 11 August 2026, 5:00 PM deadline applies. Uploading the form online is not enough for this category.

Can a student from Assam or the Northeast apply through BFUHS?
+

Punjab runs its 85% state quota strictly for Punjab domicile holders, and BFUHS also handles the government, management and NRI quota seats in Punjab's private medical and dental colleges. A candidate schooled in the Northeast, without Punjab domicile, does not qualify for the state quota. The door that stays open regardless of home state is the 15% All India Quota in Punjab's government colleges, filled separately by MCC. Some minority-status private institutions in Punjab may admit outside their usual domicile rule under minority provisions — if that applies to you, confirm it directly with the specific college rather than assuming.

What documents does a PwBD candidate need for Punjab admission 2026?
+

A valid UDID Card or Disability Certificate, issued under the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and matching the norms prescribed by the National Medical Commission. This is a hard requirement stated in the notification itself, not a suggestion.
