UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Revised and Rescheduled: What Candidates Should Know

The UP NEET UG 2026 counselling process has seen a major revision for Round 1. The official UP NEET counselling website is now showing a revised Round 1 seat matrix, revised state merit list and a rescheduled timetable for the first round of online counselling.

This is important for candidates who were following the earlier Round 1 counselling schedule and were waiting for the next step.

The revised seat matrix document is titled “Revised Seat Matrix For Round-1 U.P. NEET UG Counseling-2026” and has been issued under the Director General Medical Education and Training, Lucknow.

At this stage, students should not rush into fresh choice filling based only on the revised seat matrix. Candidates should wait for the official revised counselling schedule and follow the dates published by the UP NEET counselling authority.

What has changed in UP NEET UG 2026 Round 1?

The latest updates displayed on the UP NEET counselling website include three important Round 1 documents:

• Tentative Revised Seat Matrix for UP NEET UG Counselling for MBBS/BDS Round 1
• Revised UP State Merit List of NEET UG 2026 MBBS/BDS First Round
• Rescheduled Time Table for the First Round of Online Counselling under UP NEET UG 2026

Together, these updates indicate that the Round 1 process has been revised and rescheduled.

The revised seat matrix contains college-wise MBBS/BDS seat information under different categories and quota classifications. The document also contains approval timestamps for individual college entries. For example, several entries in the matrix show approval on September 2, 2026, at 5:01 PM.

It is therefore important to distinguish between the approval date shown against a particular seat-matrix entry and the date on which the revised notification was placed on the counselling website.

Why is the revised Round 1 update important?

Round 1 is the stage at which candidates submit their choices for MBBS and BDS seats according to their eligibility, rank, category and available seats.

When the authority revises the:

• Seat matrix
• State merit list
• Counselling timetable

students need to check the revised information before making any counselling decision.

A college or category that appeared in an earlier seat matrix may have different seat information in the revised version. The revised document, for example, lists Autonomous State Medical College, Amethi with 85 MBBS seats and provides its category-wise seat distribution.

What happens to the earlier Round 1 allotment?

Candidates should be careful here.

The latest website update confirms that the Round 1 process has been revised and the timetable has been rescheduled, but the revised seat-matrix document by itself should not be interpreted as the complete legal or procedural explanation for every candidate’s earlier allotment.

Therefore, students should check the official rescheduled Round 1 notice for the exact instructions concerning:

• Earlier seat allotments
• Previous choices
• Fresh registration
• Fresh choice filling
• Choice locking
• Seat allotment
• Reporting

Do not rely on WhatsApp messages, coaching groups or social media posts when deciding whether an earlier allotment remains valid.

Should students fill fresh choices now?

No, students should not start fresh choice filling merely because the revised seat matrix has appeared.

The correct approach is to first check the official rescheduled Round 1 timetable and wait for the authority to open the relevant counselling window.

This is particularly important because the revised seat matrix is not itself a choice-filling instruction.

Students should use the revised seat matrix to understand the available seats, but should follow the official counselling schedule for the actual choice-filling process.

Fresh Round 1 Counselling Schedule

The revised Round 1 process is being rescheduled, but candidates should use the dates mentioned in the latest official timetable rather than relying on the earlier schedule.

The important stages students need to track are:

• Registration: As per revised official schedule
• Fee Payment: As per revised official schedule
• Choice Filling: Wait for the official choice-filling window
• Choice Locking: As per revised official schedule
• Seat Allotment: As per revised official schedule
• Reporting: As per revised official schedule

Do not enter old dates from an earlier Round 1 schedule into your counselling calendar.

Revised UP NEET UG 2026 Seat Matrix

The revised seat matrix covers MBBS and BDS counselling seats and provides detailed category-wise information.

The document starts with government medical colleges such as Autonomous State Medical College, Amethi, and includes the corresponding MBBS seat distribution.

Several other government medical colleges are also included in the document, with their respective seat distributions and approval information. For example, Autonomous State Medical College, Auraiya is listed with 85 MBBS seats.

Candidates should therefore check the revised seat matrix rather than continuing to use an older Round 1 seat list.

What should UP NEET UG 2026 candidates do now?

If you are participating in UP NEET UG 2026 counselling, follow these steps:

1. Check the revised merit list

First verify your position in the revised UP state merit list.

2. Check the revised seat matrix

Review the available MBBS and BDS seats, including the relevant category and quota.

3. Wait for the revised timetable

Do not assume that the earlier Round 1 dates continue to apply.

4. Do not fill choices before the official window opens

Wait until the UP NEET counselling authority officially opens choice filling under the revised schedule.

5. Check the official website regularly

Use upneet.gov.in as the primary source for the latest counselling instructions.

6. Keep your documents ready

Candidates should keep their NEET documents, identity proof, category/domicile documents and other required certificates ready so they do not face last-minute problems when the revised process begins.

What parents and students should understand

A revised counselling process can create confusion, particularly when students have already checked colleges, prepared their preferences or received information about an earlier round.

The safest approach is to separate three things:

Revised seat matrix: tells you about the updated seats.

Revised merit list: tells you about the updated state merit position.

Rescheduled timetable: tells you when you actually need to complete each counselling step.

All three should be checked before making choices.

Final update for UP NEET UG 2026 candidates

The UP NEET UG 2026 website is currently showing revised Round 1 counselling information, including a revised seat matrix, revised state merit list and a rescheduled Round 1 timetable.

The revised seat matrix itself contains entries with different approval dates, including September 2, 2026, so the date shown against an individual college entry should not automatically be treated as the date of the latest website notification.

For now, candidates should avoid filling choices based on the old schedule and wait for the official revised choice-filling window. Once the revised timetable is applicable, students should follow the dates and instructions published by the UP NEET counselling authority.

Keep checking the official UP NEET website before taking any counselling action.
