Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 2 Counselling Started: Registration, Choice Filling, Allotment & Joining Dates

Introduction

Haryana NEET UG 2026 counselling has now moved to Round 2, and candidates who want to participate in the second round need to complete the required counselling formalities within the given timeline.

The Round 2 process includes fresh registration, willingness, security deposit, choice filling and locking, followed by provisional allotment, fee payment, physical document verification, and final joining.

The most important thing right now is that the Round 2 participation window is already open, and candidates need to complete their required steps by 12 September 2026, up to 11:59 PM.

Let's break down the complete schedule, so you know exactly what needs to be done and when.

Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 2 Schedule

How To Register And Fill Choices?

Step 1: Visit the official counselling portal

Step 2: If you're a fresh candidate (didn't register in Round 1), complete new registration with your NEET UG 2026 details. If you registered in Round 1, log in using your existing credentials.

Step 3: Confirm your willingness to participate in Round 2, pay the required Security Deposit, and fill your choices in genuine order of preference.

Step 4: Lock your choices before 11:59 PM on 12 September 2026. Once locked, you generally won't be able to edit them further for this round.

Since registration, editing, security deposit, and choice locking all fall within the same 10 to 12 September window, don't treat these as separate tasks to spread across different days; complete the whole sequence in one sitting if possible, well before the 11:59 PM deadline on the final day.

Registration And Choice Locking Share The Same Deadline

Unlike some state counselling processes where registration closes a day or two before choice locking, Haryana's Round 2 schedule has both fresh registration and choice locking ending at the same time, 11:59 PM on 12 September 2026. That means if you register late in this window, you'll have very little time left to review the seat matrix properly and fill your choices thoughtfully.

If you're a fresh candidate joining at this stage, it's worth registering as early as possible on 10 September itself, rather than waiting, so you have real time to go through college and course options before locking anything in.

Who Should Pay Attention To Round 2?

Candidates not allotted in Round 1 — if you didn't get a seat in Round 1, Round 2 is your chance to register fresh and try again.

Candidates who didn't join their Round 1 allotment — if you were allotted a seat in Round 1 but didn't report or complete joining formalities, check whether you're eligible to participate in Round 2, since non-joining after allotment can carry consequences in some state counselling processes.

Candidates looking to upgrade — if you have a Round 1 seat but want to try for a better college or course, Round 2 gives you that opportunity, though your existing seat status and any applicable rules should be checked carefully before you proceed.

What Happens After Choice Locking?

Provisional Allotment & Grievance Process (14 September): Your Round 2 provisional seat allotment result will be declared on this date. If you have any grievance regarding your allotment, this is also when the grievance process takes place, so check your result carefully as soon as it's out, rather than waiting.

Provisional Tuition Fee Payment (14 to 16 September, up to 5:00 PM): If you're allotted a seat, you'll need to pay the provisional tuition fee within this window. Given how close this deadline sits to the allotment date, it's worth being ready to make this payment promptly rather than treating it as something to plan later.

Physical Document Verification (17 to 19 September, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM): This stage is expected to take place at PGIMS Rohtak, based on how Haryana counselling has been structured in the past, but it's worth confirming your specific verification centre and requirements through the official portal or notice, since instructions can vary by category or college.

Provisional Admission Letter Download (17 to 20 September): Once your documents are verified, you'll be able to download your provisional admission letter within this window.

Last Date of Joining (20 September, up to 4:00 PM): This is your final deadline to complete joining formalities at your allotted institute. Missing this cut-off can mean losing your seat altogether, so treat this as a firm deadline, not a flexible one.

Categories Of Seats Covered In This Round

Round 2 counselling in Haryana covers seats across multiple categories:

• 85% State Quota seats in Government and Government-Aided Medical/Dental Colleges
• Management Quota seats in Private Medical/Dental Colleges
• 100% seats in Private Universities across Haryana

If you're specifically interested in Management Quota or Private University seats, check the seat matrix carefully once it's published, since fee structures and eligibility conditions for these categories can differ significantly from Government college seats under the State Quota.

A Note On Bond Service For Government Quota Seats

If you're allotted a State Quota MBBS seat under Haryana's government scheme, it's worth being aware that these seats typically come with a bond service requirement, generally around 5 years of mandatory service in Government healthcare facilities after completing MBBS, along with a bond amount that differs for male and female candidates (with a partial waiver applicable for female candidates). The state has historically supported eligible candidates through a loan arrangement where annual instalments are covered if the candidate enters government service after graduation. Since bond terms and amounts can be revised, it's best to confirm the exact current figures through the official notice or portal before you lock your choices, rather than relying on previous years' numbers.

What To Do Right Now?

Register or confirm your willingness by 12 September, 11:59 PM; don't leave this for the last few hours, given how much needs to happen in this same window.

Pay your Security Deposit and lock your choices within the same window; registration and choice locking share the same deadline this round, so plan for both together.

Keep 14 September marked for checking your provisional allotment and be ready to act on the grievance process the same day if something looks off.

Arrange your tuition fee payment method in advance, since the payment window (14–16 September) is short and follows right after allotment.

Confirm your document verification details — centre, timing, and required documents — closer to 17 September, since specifics should be confirmed via the official portal.

Don't miss the 20 September, 4:00 PM joining deadline — this is the final cut-off, and missing it can mean losing your allotted seat.

Documents You Should Keep Ready

• NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
• Haryana domicile certificate, if applying for State Quota seats
• Category certificate, if applicable
• Security Deposit payment proof
• Provisional admission letter (once downloaded)
• A valid government photo ID
• Recent passport-size photographs
