The board’s notice also cautions candidates that the schedule is indicative and subject to change based on directions from the Government of India, the Medical Counselling Committee, the National Medical Commission, the Dental Council of India and the Uttarakhand government. Candidates are advised to check the official website regularly, since no separate individual communication will be sent for updates.

How to Check the Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Result
Once declared, candidates can check their Round 1 seat allotment result by following these steps:
- Visit the official counselling portal at meta-secure.com/HNBUMU_NEETUG or hnbumu.ac.in.
- Log in using the registration number and password created at the time of counselling registration.
- Click on the Round 1 seat allotment result or allotment letter link.
- The result will display the allotted college, course and category.
- Download the allotment letter and keep a printout ready for reporting.
Reporting Process and Documents Required
Candidates allotted a seat in Round 1 must report to the allotted college by September 5, 2026, along with original documents and the prescribed reporting fee to confirm admission. Colleges verify documents at the time of reporting before finalising admission.
Candidates are generally required to carry their NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, a domicile certificate for the state quota, category certificate where applicable, the seat allotment letter, and passport-size photographs. Candidates should refer to the official counselling information bulletin on the HNBUMU portal for the complete document checklist before reporting.
Free Exit Facility in Round 1
Round 1 of Uttarakhand NEET UG counselling comes with a free exit option. Candidates allotted a seat in this round can choose not to join without losing their counselling fee or eligibility for later rounds. This allows candidates hoping for a better college or course to wait for Round 2 or subsequent rounds instead of being locked into their Round 1 allotment.
What Happens Next
The counselling board has said that the schedule and detailed procedure for Round 2, Round 3 and the stray vacancy round will be notified separately on the university website after Round 1 concludes. Candidates who do not get a seat in Round 1, or who exit under the free exit facility, remain eligible for these later rounds. Since the board has also reserved the right to revise the schedule further, candidates are advised to keep checking the official portal rather than relying only on the dates listed above.
