The Uttar Pradesh Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME) extends the registration window for Round 1 of UP NEET UG Counselling 2026. Eligible candidates can complete online registration and document upload between August 13 and August 14, with the registration fee and security money also requiring payment by the extended deadline.

The updated timetable is issued by the Office of the Director General, Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh. Sources specify that online registration and document upload remain open from August 13 at 11:00 am until August 14 at 2:00 pm. However, candidates get separate time slots to pay the registration fee and security money, with payment due by August 14, 5:00 pm. The counselling is for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses based on NEET UG scores under the state quota in government and private colleges and universities in Uttar Pradesh.

Both outlets direct candidates to monitor official portals, including upneet.gov.in and dgme.up.gov.in, and to ensure their registration details and required documents match. They also warn that failure to complete payment within the deadline can affect consideration for counselling.
