The Uttar Pradesh authorities have released the Round 1 counselling schedule for NEET UG 2026 admissions. Here's a quick look at what's confirmed and what candidates need to act on right away.
Round 1 Schedule at a Glance
Online Registration & Document Upload is open from 7th August, 2026 (12:00 PM) to 12th August, 2026 (2:00 PM). Candidates need to complete their registration and upload all required documents within this window.
Registration Fee & Security Deposit payment runs from 7th August, 2026 (12:00 PM) to 12th August, 2026 (5:00 PM) — giving a slightly longer window than document upload, but still closing on the same day.
Both activities overlap almost entirely, so candidates should aim to complete registration, document upload, and fee payment together rather than leaving the fee payment for the final few hours.
What to Do Now
Start your registration as early as possible in the window to avoid last-minute portal load issues, which are common closer to deadlines.
Keep scanned copies of all required documents ready in the correct format and size before you begin, so the upload process isn't delayed.
Complete the registration fee and security deposit payment well before the 5:00 PM deadline on 12th August, since a missed payment at this stage typically means missing Round 1 entirely.
Key Things to Remember
Registration and document upload close at 2:00 PM on 12th August, 2026 — earlier than the fee payment deadline.
Registration fee and security deposit payment close at 5:00 PM on the same day.
Both windows open together on 7th August, 2026 at 12:00 PM.
This article is based on the Round 1 counselling schedule for Uttar Pradesh NEET UG 2026. Further rounds, seat matrix details, and complete guidelines are expected to follow — candidates should track the official UP NEET UG counselling portal for updates.
