Introduction
The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Goa, has released the admission schedule for Round 1 of NEET-based courses for 2026-27, covering MBBS, BDS, BNYS, BHMS, AHS, B.Sc Nursing, BAMS, B.V.Sc & AH, along with other courses like B.Pharm, B.Arch, and Engineering. For MBBS and BDS specifically, Round 1 admission begins on 8 September 2026 at 9:30 AM.
This schedule works a little differently from most other states' counselling — instead of one single reporting date for everyone, Goa runs admissions across multiple days, with specific time slots assigned to different categories and merit number ranges. Let's go through what's confirmed and what you need to do to prepare.
The Basic Structure
Round 1 admissions run across four consecutive days:
- Tuesday, 8 September 2026
- Wednesday, 9 September 2026
- Thursday, 10 September 2026
- Friday, 11 September 2026
For MBBS and BDS, the process begins at 9:30 AM on Tuesday, 8 September, starting with the top merit numbers under Sports and General (Open) categories, and then proceeding through the day and across the following days in time-slotted batches — moving through General category merit ranges, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories, along with NRI, ESM, PwD, and EWS candidates, in a structured sequence.
Who Needs to Report?
The Round 1 admission schedule applies to candidates who have been allotted seats in:
- MBBS
- BDS
under Goa NEET UG 2026 counselling.
If you have received an allotment, carefully check your allotment and admission instructions before reporting.
Documents to Carry
Candidates should report with their original documents, certificates, and other admission-related documents required for the admission process. Before leaving for reporting, make sure your documents are properly arranged.
A basic preparation checklist should include:
📄 Original academic documents
📄 Required certificates
📄 NEET-related documents
📄 Counselling/allotment documents
📄 Valid identity proof
📄 Other documents mentioned in the official admission instructions
It is also advisable to keep photocopies of important documents separately so that you don't have to arrange them at the last moment.
FAQs
When does Round 1 admission for MBBS/BDS begin?
9:30 AM on Tuesday, 8 September 2026, at DTE, Porvorim, starting with the top merit numbers under Sports and General (Open) categories.
How early should I arrive at my reporting slot?
At least 30 minutes before your scheduled round time.
What exactly do I need to bring?
Original documents of everything submitted with your application, your pink Acknowledgement Card, your NEET Score Card, and your NEET Admit Card.
How do I know my exact reporting day and time?
It depends on your NEET UG 2026 merit number and category. Since the official schedule's exact time-slot breakdown is difficult to read in full from the scanned document, we recommend verifying your specific slot directly on the DTE Goa website or by contacting DTE Porvorim.
Is this an online choice-filling process?
No. Based on this notice, candidates report in person and avail allotment to an available seat of their choice according to their merit, directly at DTE Porvorim, not through an online portal.
What if I can't make it on my assigned day?
The schedule appears to include catch-up and spot-round slots later in the four-day window, but it's best to confirm this directly with DTE Porvorim if you anticipate missing your original slot, rather than assuming a later opportunity is guaranteed.
Conclusion
Goa's admission process is structured differently from most other states — it's an in-person, merit-and-category-based reporting system spread across four days, rather than a single result-and-report date. The most important thing you can do right now is confirm your exact category, your NEET merit number, and cross-check that against the official schedule to identify your specific reporting window — don't rely on a rough guess.
Whatever your slot turns out to be, arrive at least 30 minutes early with every original document, your pink Acknowledgement Card, and both your NEET Score Card and Admit Card in hand.
If you're unsure about your merit position, need help figuring out your exact reporting slot, or want guidance on what to expect at DTE Porvorim, reaching out to a trusted NEET counselling expert can help you prepare properly before 8 September.
