Understanding UP NEET PG Counselling — Round 2
UP NEET PG Counselling is the process by which postgraduate medical seats under the 50% State Quota are allocated to candidates based on their performance in NEET PG 2025. The counselling is conducted separately from the All India Quota (AIQ) process and is managed by the DGME, Uttar Pradesh.
Round 2 counselling serves two key purposes:
- To fill seats that remain vacant after Round 1.
- To provide eligible candidates an opportunity to upgrade their previously allotted seats — if they wish.
What Is the Round 2 Merit List?
The Round 2 Merit List is a state-level list of candidates eligible for the Round 2 counselling process. It does not guarantee a seat rather, it determines who can participate in the upcoming choice filling step.
Who Gets Included in the Round 2 Merit List?
Candidates included typically fall into two broad categories:
Fresh Registrants:
Those who registered specifically for Round 2 counselling between 10–15 December 2025 and completed payment of the registration fee and security deposit.
Round 1 Participants:
Those who either:
- Were not allotted any seat in Round 1, or
- Chose to opt for upgradation rather than finalising their earlier seat.
