What You Should Do Now
If you’re a NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate planning to seek admission to MBBS/BDS seats in Uttarakhand:
- Keep your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and eligibility documents ready
- Complete registration and fee payment well within the August 13–19 window
- Carefully fill choices during the same period, as choice filling closes alongside registration
- Regularly monitor the official Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling Board website for updates
- Read the government-college fee and service-bond documents before you lock a government seat
Final Word of Advice
The Round 1 counselling window is now open, and with just seven days to register, fill choices, and pay fees, there’s no time to waste. The registration window opened on August 13 at 11:00 AM and will close on August 19 at 5:00 PM sharp.
My advice to you:
- Don’t wait until the last day. Server load spikes on the final day, and incomplete applications with missing uploads or unpaid fees are rejected without extension.
- Double-check your choices before locking them – once locked, changes may not be allowed.
- Keep scanned copies of all documents ready before you start the registration process.
- Save the confirmation page after submission – you’ll need it for future reference.
- Mark your calendar – result is on August 22, and you must join your allotted college by August 28.
This is your first and best opportunity to secure a medical or dental seat in Uttarakhand. Stay organised, follow the process diligently, and give it your best shot. Good luck, future doctors! 🩺
