UP NEET PG Counselling 2026 Eligibility Criteria
Before you even think about registering on the up neet counselling website, make sure you tick every box below. The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, is strict about eligibility criteria, and even a small mismatch can get your candidature rejected at the verification stage.
To be eligible for UP NEET PG counselling 2026, you must:
- Have qualified NEET-PG 2026 (for MD/MS/PG Diploma/DNB courses) or NEET-MDS 2026 (for MDS courses), conducted by NBEMS.
- Hold a recognised MBBS degree from a college recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
- Have completed your compulsory one-year rotational internship on or before the date specified in the official notification (generally 31st March of the counselling year for MDS, and as notified separately for medical courses).
- Hold a valid permanent or provisional registration certificate from the Medical Council of India (MCI)/NMC or the respective State Medical Council.
- Meet the domicile and institutional-eligibility requirements applicable to the UP state quota – a valid Uttar Pradesh domicile certificate, along with (in most cases) an MBBS from a UP-recognised institution, is required for government state-quota seats; exact conditions can vary by college and should be verified from the official counselling brochure.
- Fall within the applicable reservation category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwD) if claiming reservation benefits, backed by valid certificates.
Reservation for UP NEET PG counselling follows Uttar Pradesh’s state category-wise policy (see the Reservation Criteria section below for the current percentages), and minority-run private colleges additionally reserve seats for students from the same minority community. Candidates should verify the exact reservation, domicile, and certificate-validity requirements for the 2026 cycle from the official DGME UP counselling brochure.
One important thing to note: candidates from other states are generally allowed to apply for private and management/NRI-quota seats in UP without a UP domicile certificate – always confirm the current cycle’s exact conditions in the official brochure. This makes Uttar Pradesh one of the more accessible states for out-of-state NEET PG aspirants, given its large number of government and private medical colleges.
Documents Required for UP NEET PG Counselling
Keep both original and self-attested photocopies ready well in advance – scrambling for a document on verification day is one of the most common (and avoidable) reasons candidates lose time during counselling.
Here’s the standard document checklist:
- NEET PG 2026 admit card and scorecard/rank letter
- MBBS degree certificate (or provisional certificate, if the final degree is pending)
- Internship completion certificate
- Permanent/provisional MCI or NMC registration certificate
- State Medical Council registration certificate (if applicable)
- Class 10 certificate/mark sheet (for date of birth proof)
- Class 12 certificate/mark sheet
- MBBS mark sheets for all professional years
- Valid photo ID proof (Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or voter ID)
- Uttar Pradesh domicile certificate (mandatory for state-quota candidates)
- Category certificate – SC/ST/OBC/EWS, as applicable, issued by a competent authority
- PwD certificate, if claiming disability reservation
- Passport-size photographs (as specified in the information bulletin)
- Migration certificate, if you completed MBBS from a college outside Uttar Pradesh
- Non-Creamy Layer certificate for OBC candidates (must be within the validity period specified)
- Good Standing Certificate/No Objection Certificate from the previous institute, if required
- Anti-ragging affidavit, in the prescribed format
It’s worth double-checking the exact list published in that year’s information bulletin, since document requirements can be tweaked slightly from one counselling cycle to the next.
If you’re preparing for counselling in multiple states, you can also refer to our general NEET PG counselling documents checklist for additional guidance on UP PG NEET Counselling requirements.

Importance of UP NEET PG Medical Counselling
Clearing NEET PG is only half the battle; UP state NEET counselling decides where and in what speciality you’ll actually train.
- Huge seat pool: UP has one of India’s largest medical college networks – KGMU Lucknow, GSVM Kanpur, LLRM Meerut, MLN Prayagraj, BRD Gorakhpur, SN Medical Agra, RIMS Saifai, MLB Jhansi offering wide speciality choices.
- Open to outside-state candidates: Private/management-quota seats accept candidates from other states, widening options if home-state seats are limited.
- Merit-based, transparent allotment: Seats are allotted strictly by NEET PG rank, category, and locked choices – reducing arbitrary decisions if choice-filling is done accurately and on time.
- Linked to ongoing SC proceedings: The Supreme Court is currently hearing pleas (W.P.(C) 136/2026, Harisharan Devgan v. Union of India) on NEET-PG 2025-26 cut-off percentile reductions and has asked for an institutional mechanism to fix recurring cut off/vacancy issues – this can directly affect UP counselling round timing.
- Career-defining: The institute, speciality, and city allotted through UP counselling shapes the next 2-3 years -and often your career path.
Before locking your choices, it also helps to check the All India NEET PG Counselling process for MCC-quota seats, review state quota rules across India, and understand NEET PG bond requirements at government medical colleges before you finalise your seat in this UP State NEET PG Counselling process.

FAQs on UP NEET PG Counselling 2026
The official UP NEET counselling date for the PG round hasn’t been announced yet. It typically follows a few weeks after the NEET PG 2026 result declaration. Keep checking UPneet.gov.in for the confirmed schedule.
The official UP NEET counselling website is upneet.gov.in , managed by the Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh. All registration, choice filling, and result-related activities happen through this portal.
UP NEET PG counselling is generally conducted in four rounds – Round 1, Round 2, a Mop-Up Round, and a Special Stray Vacancy Round.
In UP’s government medical colleges, close to half the MD/MS/DNB seats are filled through this state counselling (state quota), with the rest going through the All India Quota managed by MCC. Private medical college seats in UP are mostly filled through the state counselling process itself, under separate management/NRI-quota rules – refer to the official seat matrix for the exact break-up.
A UP domicile certificate – along with, in most cases, an MBBS from a UP-recognised institution – is generally required for government state-quota seats. Candidates from other states can still apply for private and management/NRI-quota seats without a UP domicile. Always verify the exact conditions in the official 2026 counselling brochure.
Key documents include your NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree/provisional certificate, internship completion certificate, MCI/NMC registration, domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), and valid photo ID. A detailed checklist is provided in the counselling information bulletin.
The UP NEET PG 2026 registration fee is ₹3,000 per round (non-refundable) for Rounds 1–3, and ₹3,000 for the Stray Vacancy Round registration, as per the fee structure notified by DGME UP. This is separate from the refundable security deposit, which varies by college type (₹30,000 for government colleges, ₹2,00,000 for private medical colleges, and ₹1,00,000 for private dental colleges). Always confirm the exact amount in that year’s official information bulletin.
The Supreme Court’s directions on NEET PG 2026 – covering cut-off percentile issues, synchronised counselling schedules, anti-seat-blocking rules, and Aadhaar-based verification – can influence the timing and conduct of state counselling rounds, including UP’s. Candidates should track both MCC and DGME UP notifications for updates.
NEET exam centre allotment is handled by NBEMS (for NEET PG) or NTA (for NEET PG), not by the state counselling authority. Candidates can check their allotted exam centre on their respective admit cards downloaded from the official NBEMS or NTA website.
If you fail to report to your allotted college within the deadline specified for that round, your seat allotment is usually cancelled, and you may lose eligibility to participate in the immediate next round, depending on DGME UP’s rules for that counselling year.
