BFUHS Issues Corrigendum for NEET-PG Round-1 Results — Joining Window Extended to Dec 7 for Affected Students

The Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), the conducting body for Punjab NEET-PG counselling, has issued a crucial corrigendum for the Round 1 allotment results. Following the review of candidate objections and an alignment with the revised MCC schedule, the joining window for all allotted candidates has been extended up to December 7, 2025. Candidates affected by the revised allotment, as well as those already allotted, must complete their reporting and admission formalities at their assigned medical/dental colleges between December 2, 2025, and the new deadline, December 7, 2025. Act swiftly to secure your MD/MS/PG Diploma seat.

In a significant update for postgraduate medical and dental aspirants in Punjab, the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, the designated counselling authority, has issued a corrigendum related to the NEET-PG 2025 Round 1 provisional seat allotment results. This critical notice addresses technical corrections made to the original allotment list and, more importantly, revises the deadline for joining the allotted colleges. The original reporting deadline has been extended to December 7, 2025, granting all affected and previously allotted candidates a longer window—from December 2, 2025, to December 7, 2025—to complete the crucial admission formalities.

​This revision comes as a necessary measure to ensure fairness and transparency in the counselling process. The BFUHS decision aligns the state counselling schedule with the latest updated timeline released by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for the All India Quota (AIQ) rounds. This alignment is vital to prevent any conflict in timelines, especially for candidates participating in both state and AIQ counselling. All candidates who have been allotted a seat, particularly those whose provisional results were corrected due to technical oversights or successful objection submissions, must immediately check the official BFUHS website (bfuhs.ac.in) for the revised allotment list and the updated joining instructions.

​ Reasons for Revision: Technical Correction and MCC Alignment

​The issuance of a corrigendum—a correction to a previous publication—is a standard but crucial process in high-stakes admissions like NEET-PG, ensuring that the final outcome is accurate and compliant with national regulations.

• ​Review of Candidate Objections: Following the release of the initial provisional allotment list (released on or around November 27, 2025, based on the context), BFUHS provided a short window for candidates to submit objections regarding discrepancies. The corrigendum incorporates necessary corrections made after reviewing these objections, potentially resulting in a change of seat or category for a few candidates. 
  • ​This ensures that any initial syntax errors or technical oversights in the data processing are rectified, validating the merit of the affected aspirants.
• ​Synchronization with MCC Schedule: The primary driver for the joining date extension is the need to synchronize the Punjab State Counselling schedule with the MCC NEET-PG 2025 schedule. State counselling bodies often revise their dates to ensure: 
  • ​No Overlap: The joining period does not clash with the commencement of the subsequent MCC Round 2 process (which, according to the latest MCC schedule, starts registration on December 5, 2025, and reporting from December 13, 2025).
  • ​Candidate Flexibility: Candidates who are allotted a seat in AIQ Round 1 and choose to upgrade to a state seat (or vice versa) have enough time to resign or join without penalty.
• ​Revised Joining Window Details:
  • ​New Joining Period: December 2, 2025, to December 7, 2025.
  • ​Mandatory Step: Candidates must report to their allotted college/hospital within this revised window to complete document verification, pay the requisite six-month fee, and officially confirm admission. Failure to report by December 7, 2025, will lead to the automatic forfeiture of the allotted seat.

​ Immediate Action Plan for Affected NEET-PG Aspirants

​The extension until December 7, 2025, provides a necessary cushion, but aspirants must not delay the reporting process. Given the complexity and high competition in PG admissions, promptness is non-negotiable.

• ​Re-Verification of Allotment: All candidates who participated in Round 1 must re-download the revised allotment letter from the BFUHS website (bfuhs.ac.in). Even if a candidate’s status has not changed, the revised letter serves as the official document with the new joining deadline.
• ​Document Checklist Preparation: Prepare all required documents in original plus multiple sets of self-attested photocopies. This typically includes: 
  • ​NEET-PG 2025 Score Card and Admit Card.
  • ​MBBS Degree/Provisional Certificate and Marksheets.
  • ​Compulsory Rotating Internship Completion Certificate.
  • ​Permanent/Provisional Registration Certificate (MCI/SMC).
  • ​Punjab Domicile and Eligibility Certificates.
  • ​Category/Reservation Certificates (SC, BC, EWS, etc.).
  • ​The Revised Provisional Allotment Letter.
• ​Financial Readiness: Ensure that the necessary funds for the admission fee (often six months' tuition fee) and security deposit are arranged and ready for payment, which is usually deposited at the time of reporting.

​Conclusion

​The corrigendum issued by BFUHS, extending the NEET-PG Round 1 joining deadline to December 7, 2025, is a vital correction and a necessary harmonization with the national counselling schedule. For all aspirants who have secured a seat in the Punjab state quota, this extension provides a clear, final opportunity to complete the admission formalities without undue pressure. Candidates must treat December 7th as a hard deadline, ensuring all documents and fee payments are submitted to their respective allotted colleges well in advance to secure their coveted MD/MS/PG Diploma seats.
