Punjab NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Revised Schedule Released: Check New Dates for Choice Filling, Allotment & Reporting

Overview

The Punjab NEET UG 2026 Round 1 revised counselling schedule has been released, and candidates participating in MBBS and BDS admissions in Punjab should carefully check the updated dates before proceeding with the next counselling steps.

The revised schedule has been issued for the first round of online counselling, covering the important stages of the process, including choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting/admission.

If you have already registered for Punjab NEET UG counselling, don't continue following the earlier schedule. The revised schedule is the one candidates should follow now.

Old Schedule vs Revised Schedule

Why Is the Revised Schedule Important?

A revised counselling schedule means that some of the dates announced earlier have been changed.

This is particularly important for candidates who had already planned their:

• Choice filling
• Seat allotment
• College reporting
• Admission formalities

Punjab NEET UG Round 1 Flow

Step 1: Online Choice Filling

Revised Window: 16 August to 23 August 2026, up to 5:00 PM

This is the stage where you rank the colleges and courses you'd like to be considered for. The good news here is you've been given four additional days beyond the original deadline, so if you were rushing to finish your choice list by 19 August, you now have breathing room until 23 August, 5:00 PM.

Use this extra time wisely; don't just relax because the deadline moved. If you haven't filled in every college and course combination you'd genuinely accept, this is a good opportunity to go back and add more choices, rather than sticking to a short list built around the original tighter timeline.

Step 2: Display Of Provisional Seat Allotment

This has moved from 22 August to 27 August. Once this is out, check it carefully; your allotted college, course, category, and seat type should all be reviewed properly. Remember, this is a provisional result, not the final one, so if something looks wrong, you still have a chance to raise it.

Step 3: Submitting Objections

This is the most important change to pay attention to in the entire revised schedule, because it comes with a strict rule that's easy to miss.

The deadline for submitting objections to your Provisional Seat Allotment has moved from 23 August (3:00 PM) to 28 August. But here's the part that really matters: objections will only be accepted through personal appearance at the Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot, along with your supporting documents.

Objections submitted through email or any other electronic mode will NOT be entertained. This is a strict, clearly stated rule — so if you spot an error in your provisional allotment, you cannot simply email the university or fill an online form. You need to physically go to the Admission Branch at BFUHS, Faridkot, with your documents in hand, and object there in person.

If you're not based in or near Faridkot, this is something to plan for in advance; you'll need to arrange travel and have your supporting documents ready well before 28 August, not scramble at the last moment.

Step 4: Revised Provisional Allotment

After objections are reviewed and resolved, the revised Provisional Seat Allotment will be displayed on 29 August, instead of the earlier date of 24 August. This reflects any corrections made based on objections that were accepted.

Step 5: Physical Reporting

This has moved from a four-day window (25-28 August) to a longer, six-day window (30 August to 5 September). If you've been provisionally allotted a seat, this is when you need to physically report to your allotted college.

At this stage, you'll need to complete several things together:

• Verification of original documents — carry all your originals with you
• Medical examination, where applicable
• Completion of admission formalities at the college
• Payment of six months' tuition fee through the University's Online Payment Gateway, available in your candidate login

Note that the fee payment here happens online through your login, not by handing over cash or a demand draft at the college counter, even though your physical presence is still required for document verification and admission formalities.

Documents You Should Keep Ready

• NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
• Category certificate, if applicable
• A valid government photo ID
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Domicile or residence proof, if relevant to your target seats

Having these ready in original, not just scanned copies, matters here, since physical document verification is part of the reporting process.

FAQs

Conclusion

This revision gives you a bit more breathing room for choice filling, but it also comes with one rule you really can't afford to overlook: objections to your provisional allotment must be raised in person at Faridkot, not by email. If there's any chance you'll need to object to your result, start planning that travel and paperwork now, rather than waiting until 28 August arrives.

Update your calendar to these revised dates, keep your original documents ready for physical reporting, and don't assume any part of the old schedule still applies.

If you're unsure about your provisional allotment, need help understanding whether an objection is worth raising, or want guidance on your choice list before 23 August, reaching out to a trusted NEET counselling expert can help you handle this revised timeline with more confidence.
