The Directorate General of Medical Education Uttar Pradesh has opened the UP NEET UG 2026 stray round counselling registration at upneet.gov.in. Candidates can apply for vacant MBBS and BDS state quota seats in UP.
The Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has opened the registration window for the Uttar Pradesh National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (UP NEET UG) 2026 stray round counselling. Eligible candidates can register on the official portal at upneet.gov.in. This is the final round for filling vacant state quota seats.
The stray round is being conducted to fill MBBS and BDS seats that remained vacant after the mop-up round. These seats fall under the 85 percent state quota in Uttar Pradesh. Both government and private medical and dental colleges are participating in this round.
Only candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 and meet the UP state domicile criteria can apply. Candidates already admitted to a seat through earlier rounds must verify their eligibility before applying. The schedule and seat matrix have been published on the DGME portal.
