Important Instructions for Candidates

• Only candidates who completed registration, document verification, and security deposit within the deadline will appear on the Round 1 merit list.
• A college that is not added to your choice list cannot be allotted to you - add and rank every institute you are willing to join.
• List government colleges ahead of private colleges in your preference order unless you have a specific reason to prefer a private institution, given the significant fee difference.
• UP NEET UG counselling allows a "free exit" in Round 1 - candidates who do not wish to join their Round 1 allotment can decline without forfeiting their security deposit.
• From Round 2 onward, this free-exit option does not apply; failing to join an allotted seat in Round 2 or later can result in forfeiture of the security deposit.
• Choices must be filled afresh for each counselling round; Round 1 choices do not automatically carry forward to Round 2.
• Use a desktop or laptop for choice filling rather than a mobile device, as recommended by the counselling authority, to avoid interface issues.
• If your name does not appear on the merit list despite completing registration and payment, check whether your document verification was flagged for discrepancies, confirm your security deposit status, and contact the DGME UP helpdesk with your payment and registration receipts.
