Dadra & Nagar Haveli NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Online Application Opens September 5 for MBBS/ BDS/ BAMS/ BHMS

The counselling authority for Dadra & Nagar Haveli has announced that the online application form for MBBS, BDS, BAMS, and BHMS admissions based on NEET-UG 2026 will be available starting 5th September, 2026. Here's the complete provisional schedule and what candidates need to do.

Online Application Opens September 5

Candidates seeking admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, or BHMS courses in Dadra & Nagar Haveli through NEET-UG 2026 can access the online application form from 5th September, 2026 onward. This marks the starting point of the region's counselling process for the current academic session.

Provisional Key Dates for the Full Counselling Process

Based on the broader announcement covering state-level counselling for NEET-UG 2026 (MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS), here's the complete provisional timeline candidates should track:

Online Registration Form: 5th September, 2026 to 7th September, 2026.

Document Verification (Online): 5th September, 2026 to 8th September, 2026 - note that this window overlaps with registration and extends one day beyond it.

Notification of 1st Provisional Merit List: 9th September, 2026.

Invitation of Representation against 1st Provisional Merit List (if any): 10th September, 2026 - a single-day window for candidates to flag discrepancies before the list is finalized.

Declaration of List of Selected Candidates in First Round: 11th September, 2026.

Last Date of Joining after 1st Round: 18th September, 2026.

Separately, Sharing of Joined Candidates' Data by States is scheduled for 19th September, 2026 - this is an administrative step where state counselling authorities report back joined-candidate data to the central coordinating body, and doesn't require any direct action from candidates.

Why the Overlapping Windows Matter

A few of these stages run in parallel rather than one after another. Registration (5th - 7th September) and document verification (5th - 8th September) overlap almost entirely, meaning candidates should aim to complete both together rather than treating verification as a separate task to handle after registration closes. Since document verification extends one extra day beyond registration, candidates who register on the later side still have a short buffer to complete verification - but it's a narrow one.

The Grievance Window Is Just One Day

Candidates should pay close attention to 10th September - the single day allotted for raising any representation or objection against the 1st Provisional Merit List. Given how tight this window is, candidates should check their name, rank, and category on the provisional list the moment it's published on 9th September, rather than waiting, since there's no room to delay a grievance to a later date.

What to Do Now

Keep your documents ready in advance - NEET-UG 2026 scorecard and admit card, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates, category certificate (if applicable), domicile/residence proof, and a valid photo ID - so registration and document verification can be completed together without delay once the portal opens on 5th September.

Register as early as possible within the 5th-7th September window, since this gives you more buffer time to complete document verification before its 8th September deadline.

Check the 1st Provisional Merit List immediately upon its release on 9th September, and be ready to submit a representation the same day it opens (10th September) if you spot any error, since this window doesn't reopen later.

If selected in the First Round (declared 11th September), plan your reporting and joining well before the 18th September deadline, rather than waiting until the final days.
