Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Counselling: Registration, Choice Filling and Important Dates

HNBUMU has released the Round 3 counselling schedule for Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling NEET UG 2026 for MBBS and BDS courses.

The schedule covers online registration, payment of the registration or security fee, form filling, choice filling and locking, seat surrender for Round 1 and Round 2 candidates, seat matrix publication, result declaration and the final date for joining the allotted college.

One important point in the notice is that FLOAT candidates opting for seat upgradation must complete online re-registration, form filling, choice filling and locking within the specified period.

Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Registration Dates

According to the schedule issued by Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), the Round 3 registration and choice-related activities will take place from 29 September to 5 October 2026.

The schedule covers different categories of candidates.

New candidates

Eligible NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates who are registering for the first time can complete:

• Online registration
• Registration fee and security amount payment
• Form filling
• Choice filling
• Choice locking

The schedule states that online registration and the related activities are open from:

29 September 2026 to 5 October 2026

The deadline is up to 5:00 PM, as per server time.

Previously registered candidates

Candidates who registered in an earlier round can also complete the required Round 3 activities, including:

• Online re-registration
• Form filling
• Choice filling
• Choice locking

These activities are also scheduled between 29 September and 5 October 2026.

FLOAT Candidates Must Complete Re-Registration

There is a specific instruction for candidates who are currently holding a FLOAT seat and want to participate in Round 3 for seat upgradation.

The notice states that all FLOAT candidates opting for seat upgradation must complete online re-registration, form filling, choice filling and locking.

Importantly, they can do this without paying the registration fee/security fee again, as mentioned in the schedule.

This means FLOAT candidates should not assume that their earlier choices will automatically be considered for Round 3.

Last Date to Surrender Round 1 or Round 2 Seat

Candidates who have an admitted or FLOAT seat from Round 1 or Round 2 and want to surrender or withdraw from that seat should take note of the separate deadline.

The last date for:

• Surrender
• Withdrawal
• Resigning from the admitted seat
• Surrender of a FLOAT seat

is:

5 October 2026 up to 5:00 PM

The notice specifically mentions that surrender will be allowed with forfeiture of the security fee deposit.

Candidates considering surrender should therefore understand the financial consequence before proceeding.
