All ArticlesSikkim NEET UG MBBS 2026 Round 2 Counselling Schedule Released: Choice Filling, Seat Allotment and Reporting Dates
The Human Resource Development Department (HRDD), Government of Sikkim, has released the Round 2 counselling schedule for NEET UG MBBS admissions 2026-27 to Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences (SMIMS), Gangtok. Here's the complete Sikkim MBBS Round 2 schedule - choice filling, seat allotment, fee payment, and reporting — along with what candidates need to do at each stage.
What's Been Announced
Sikkim's state counselling authority has notified the Round 2 counselling schedule for NEET UG MBBS 2026 admissions under the Sikkim State Quota. This round covers the 85% state-quota MBBS seats at SMIMS, Gangtok, that fall under Sikkim's own counselling process (separate from the 15% All India Quota seats handled centrally by the MCC). Candidates who registered for Sikkim NEET UG counselling — whether continuing from Round 1 or joining fresh in Round 2 — can now plan around the following confirmed dates.
Sikkim MBBS 2026 Round 2 Counselling Schedule
Choice Filling: 9th September 2026 (9:00 AM) to 9th September 2026 (12:00 Midnight)
Seat Allotment Processing: 11th September 2026
Result Publication: 11th September 2026
Fee Payment: 12th September 2026 to 14th September 2026
Physical Reporting: By 18th September 2026
Candidates should note that the entire choice filling window is compressed into a single day - from 9:00 AM to midnight on 9th September 2026 — leaving no room for last-minute changes once the window closes. Seat allotment processing and result publication are scheduled on the same day, 11th September 2026, so candidates should track the official portal closely around that date.
Important: Allotment Is Provisional Until Reporting
As per the official notice, Round 2 seat allotment is provisional and will be confirmed only after physical reporting and document verification at the allotted college. This means candidates who see their name on the Round 2 seat allotment result on 11th September 2026 have not yet secured a confirmed MBBS seat — the admission is finalised only once they:
Complete the fee payment between 12th and 14th September 2026, and
Complete physical reporting at SMIMS, Gangtok, with all original documents, by 18th September 2026.
Skipping fee payment or missing the physical reporting deadline can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat, so candidates should treat both steps as mandatory, not optional, follow-ups to the allotment result.
Step-by-Step: What Sikkim MBBS Round 2 Candidates Should Do
Fill and lock your choices on 9th September 2026, between 9:00 AM and midnight. Since this is a single-day window, decide your college and course preference order in advance rather than starting fresh on the day.
Check the seat allotment result on 11th September 2026, once processing is complete, on the official Sikkim NEET UG counselling portal.
Pay the admission fee within the 12–14 September 2026 window if allotted a seat — delays beyond this window can jeopardise the allotment.
Report physically at SMIMS, Gangtok, by 18th September 2026, carrying original certificates, NEET scorecard, domicile certificate, category certificate, and other documents specified in the admission brochure, for document verification.
Remember that allotment is not final until reporting is complete — candidates should not assume their seat is confirmed simply because their name appears in the Round 2 result.
Why This Round Matters
Round 2 is a key stage in Sikkim's MBBS counselling cycle, following Round 1 seat allotment and reporting for the Sikkim State Quota at SMIMS. It gives candidates who did not secure a seat in Round 1 - as well as those seeking an upgrade - a fresh opportunity to fill choices against vacant MBBS seats. With a tight, single-day choice-filling window and a fast turnaround to allotment, fee payment, and reporting, candidates need to stay closely aligned with each date in the schedule rather than assuming extra time will be available at any stage.
Key Things to Remember
Choice Filling: 9th September 2026, 9:00 AM to Midnight.
Seat Allotment Result: 11th September 2026.
Fee Payment Window: 12th–14th September 2026.
Physical Reporting Deadline: 18th September 2026.
Seat allotment in Round 2 is provisional — confirmed only after successful fee payment, physical reporting, and document verification at SMIMS, Gangtok.
This schedule applies to the Sikkim State Quota (85% seats) counselling conducted by HRDD, Government of Sikkim; candidates in the 15% All India Quota should continue tracking the separate MCC NEET UG counselling schedule.
Keep checking the official Sikkim NEET UG counselling portal regularly for any updates, extensions, or additional notices during Round 2.
