Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, has released a revised schedule for Round 1 of Punjab NEET UG Counselling 2026. The updated timeline applies to MBBS and BDS admissions in Punjab and changes the dates for seat allotment, objections, and college reporting. The notice, released by the Admission Branch on 25 August 2026, pushes back key counselling dates, including choice filling, seat allotment, objection submission, and physical reporting.
Candidates who registered for the counselling process should follow the revised schedule and complete each activity within the specified deadline.
Why Was the Punjab NEET UG Counselling Schedule Revised?
BFUHS has extended the choice-filling window and correspondingly rescheduled every downstream step of Round 1 counselling – from seat allotment display to college reporting. While the official notice does not specify a reason, such revisions are typically made to give candidates adequate time to submit and lock their preferences accurately.
The official notice does not mention a specific reason for the revision. Candidates should rely only on the latest notice issued by BFUHS for the updated counselling timeline.
