Uttar Pradesh NEET UG 2026 —
Registration Closed, Result Awaited

Under the Extended Time Schedule (No. ME-3/2026/1517, dated 12 August 2026), registration and document upload ran 13 August 2026 from 11:00 AM, closing 14 August 2026 at 2:00 PM — this window is now closed. The fee and security money deposit window was slightly longer — the same 13 to 14 August dates, but open until 5:00 PM on the closing day, also now closed. This extended the original schedule (No. ME-3/2026/1492, 6 August), which ran 7 to 12 August. This is the Directorate General of Medical Education and Training, UP's own state quota round, issued in continuation of MCC's national timetable.

Through state quota government colleges, a score around 340 is unlikely to be competitive — UP's government MBBS closing scores typically run well above that. But UP has one of India's largest concentrations of private medical colleges, and through management quota at those colleges, a genuinely qualifying NEET score is often what actually matters, not a high one. In our experience guiding students through this exact situation, a score in the 340s has repeatedly been enough to secure an MBBS seat in Uttar Pradesh through the management quota route, with total course fees commonly landing in the region of ₹60 lakh across the course, excluding hostel and mess. That figure varies college to college and changes every admission cycle, so treat it as a starting point for a conversation, not a fixed number to plan a budget around blind.

The notice itself covers only the schedule — registration and document upload, now 13 to 14 August 2026 under the extension, and fee plus security money deposit on the same dates. For the exact registration fee amount, security money figure, and full document checklist, DGME UP directs candidates to upneet.gov.in and www.dgme.up.gov.in, where the complete counselling brochure is published separately from this schedule notice.

The schedule notice itself doesn't spell out the residential eligibility clause — that detail sits in the full counselling brochure on the official portals, not this time-schedule notice. What is clear either way: the 15% All India Quota through MCC remains open to any candidate regardless of home state, and UP's very large private medical college sector runs management quota admissions that are typically far less domicile-restrictive than the state quota itself.

Scale, mostly. Uttar Pradesh has one of the largest numbers of private medical colleges of any state in India, which means more seats genuinely available through management quota in any given year compared to states with only a handful of private colleges. More available seats means real room to negotiate for a family, on fees and on college choice — it's a large part of why we point Northeast India families here so often when a government seat isn't realistically on the table this year.

As of 25 August 2026, we could not confirm a dated seat-allotment result notice on the official portals, upneet.gov.in and dgme.up.gov.in. Independent education-news portals report that DGME UP released a state merit list around 19 August 2026 and opened choice filling soon after, with the Round 1 seat allotment result expected in the fourth week of August — but none of that carries an official notice number we could verify, so treat it as unconfirmed until you see it on the official portal yourself. Round 2 of this counselling round has not been notified in any form as of this check. We update this page as soon as we can verify the next official notice.
