Uttarakhand NEET PG Counselling Process

In Uttarakhand counselling — also called Uttaranchal Counselling — candidates register on the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) portal as part of HNBUMU NEET PG Counselling, pay the fee, upload documents, check the merit list and seat matrix, complete choice filling and locking, receive seat allotment, and finish verification and reporting to confirm admission through UK NEET Counselling. 

This cycle repeats across Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3 (also referred to as the mop-up round), with a stray vacancy round conducted if seats remain unfilled after Round 3.

Uttarakhand MD MS Management and NRI Fees Structure

Uttarakhand MD/MS fees vary by college and specialization, with government colleges being affordable and private colleges charging higher tuition.

What Is the Uttarakhand NEET PG Seat Matrix Branch-Wise 2026?

The seat matrix for Uttarakhand PG counselling 2026 will be published by HNBUMU closer to Round 1, once government and private medical colleges confirm their intake for the academic year. The matrix typically breaks seats down by:

• College and course (MD, MS, PG Diploma, DNB)
• Quota  government quota, management/private quota, NRI quota, and AI Open seats
• Category  general, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD reservation as applicable

Since seat numbers can shift slightly year to year based on NMC recognition status and new course approvals, always cross-check the official NEET PG seat matrix 2026 released on hnbumu.ac.in before finalizing your choice list, rather than relying on the previous year’s numbers.

Candidates who don’t meet any of these domicile paths can still apply for eligibility criteria AI Open (non-domicile) seats at private colleges, which are filled through the same state counselling process but remain open to candidates from anywhere in India.

How Much Are the Uttarakhand Counselling Fees 2026?

Candidates participating in Uttarakhand NEET PG Counselling 2026 are required to pay a non-refundable registration fee along with a refundable security deposit during the online registration process. The registration fee allows eligible candidates to participate in the counselling rounds, while the security deposit is adjusted or refunded according to the counselling rules. HNBUMU has not yet released the official fee notification for the 2026 counselling cycle. Based on the fee trends from the 2025 counselling round, the expected fee structure for 2026 is given below. These are indicative figures only always confirm the final amount from the official 2026 HNBUMU Information Bulletin before making any payment.

Separately, candidates admitted to government medical college seats can choose between a subsidised bond-track annual fee (with a mandatory rural-service obligation) or a higher non-bond-track fee with no service requirement — see our detailed Uttarakhand NEET PG bond guide for the exact penalty, duration, and fee comparison.

When Will Uttarakhand NEET PG Counselling 2026 Start?

Uttarakhand NEET PG counselling 2026 is expected to start in September 2026, roughly three to four weeks after the NEET PG 2026 result, once HNBUMU finalises the seat matrix with participating colleges. The official schedule for registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting is released only after NBEMS declares the NEET PG 2026 result, so treat the timeline below as a planning reference and confirm exact dates on hnbumu.ac.in rather than relying on unofficial estimates.

These dates are indicative and based on prior years’ counselling patterns. HNBUMU releases the confirmed schedule on hnbumu.ac.in after NEET PG results are declared, so treat this table as a planning reference rather than a final schedule.

State Quota vs All India Quota (AIQ) in Uttarakhand NEET PG Counselling

Uttarakhand’s government medical college MD/MS/PG Diploma seats are split across two separate counselling processes. A share of seats goes into the All India Quota (AIQ), filled centrally by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) through All India NEET PG counselling on all-India merit with no domicile requirement, while the remaining state quota seats are filled separately by HNBUMU for candidates who meet Uttarakhand’s domicile criteria. Private medical college seats in Uttarakhand are filled entirely through HNBUMU NEET PG Counselling (the state counselling process), not AIQ. If you have also registered for MCC counselling, keep both portals open during the results and allotment window, since AIQ and state quota rounds run on independent schedules.

Documents Required For Uttarakhand NEET PG Counselling

Keep both originals and self-attested photocopies of the following ready before registration:

• NEET PG admit card and rank/scorecard
• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets
• MBBS mark sheet and provisional/degree certificate
• Internship completion certificate
• NMC/State Medical Council permanent registration certificate
• Domicile certificate (birth certificate, residency proof, or parent’s government service certificate, as applicable)
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), issued by a competent authority, if applicable
• PwD certificate, if applying under the disability quota
• Seat allotment letter (for the relevant round)
• Passport-size photographs and a valid government photo ID

Carrying incomplete or improperly attested documents is one of the most common reasons candidates get held back at verification, so double-check each item against the current year’s HNBUMU information bulletin.

The required documents are almost the same as those needed for UP NEET PG Counselling, Gujarat PG Counselling, Karnataka NEET PG, Tamil Nadu NEET PG Counselling, MP NEET PG Counselling, Haryana NEET PG Counselling, Bihar NEET PG Counselling, WB NEET Counselling, Telangana NEET Counselling, Kerala PG Counselling, Rajasthan PG Counselling, Andhra NEET PG Counselling, Odisha NEET PG, Jharkhand NEET PG Counselling, and Chhattisgarh NEET Counselling.
