Uttar Pradesh NEET PG 2025 admission formalities are in full swing as of January 31, 2026. This report covers the reporting requirements at nodal centers, document verification protocols for MD/MS seats, and the mandatory fee submission steps for government and private medical colleges.

The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, is currently overseeing the final stages of the admission cycle for postgraduate medical seats. Following the conclusion of the Round 3 seat allotment earlier this month, the state is now facilitating the transition for candidates moving into the stray vacancy phase. As of January 31, 2026, medical colleges across Uttar Pradesh are processing the final set of joined candidates, ensuring that all clinical and non-clinical departments are ready for the full commencement of the 2025-26 academic session.

         Mandatory Reporting at Designated Nodal Centers

A unique feature of the Uttar Pradesh counselling process is the centralized reporting system, particularly for those allotted seats in private institutions. Unlike government colleges where candidates report directly to the principal’s office, private sector allotments require a visit to a specific nodal center.

• Nodal Center Allotment: The specific nodal center for each candidate is clearly mentioned on their official allotment letter.
• Fee Submission: For private medical colleges, the tuition fee must be submitted via a CTS Demand Draft in favor of the Director General Medical Education & Training, payable at Lucknow.
• Biometric Verification: Candidates must undergo a physical identity check, including biometric data capture, to prevent any fraudulent admission entries.
• Reporting Window: While the main Round 3 reporting concluded on January 17, those eligible for the subsequent stray rounds are currently being mapped to their respective centers.

         Essential Documentation and Verification Protocols

To formalize the admission at any medical university in the state, candidates must produce an exhaustive list of original documents. The DGME has strictly instructed all college authorities to verify these credentials against the National database to ensure eligibility.

• Academic Records: This includes all MBBS professional mark sheets, the degree certificate, and the compulsory rotatory internship completion letter.
• Entrance Proof: The NEET PG 2025 admit card and the official rank letter issued by the NBE are mandatory for the file.
• Registration Status: A permanent or provisional registration certificate from the NMC or the Uttar Pradesh Medical Council is required.
• Category Certificates: For those claiming reservation, certificates must be issued on or after April 1, 2025, in the prescribed state format to be valid for this admission cycle.

       Final Seat Allotment and Forfeiture Rules

As the state moves closer to the absolute closure of the portal, the DGME has issued a final reminder regarding the security deposits. This is a critical period for candidates who are holding a seat but considering an exit, as the financial implications in Uttar Pradesh are significant.

• Security Forfeiture: If a candidate is allotted a seat in the later rounds and fails to report to their nodal center, the entire security deposit (₹30,000 for government and ₹2,00,000 for private) is confiscated.
• Private College Penalty: In addition to the security deposit, candidates resigning from private colleges after a certain threshold may also lose 50% of their deposited tuition fee.
• Stray Vacancy Eligibility: Only those who have not been allotted any seat in previous rounds are being considered for the final walk-in admission rounds scheduled for early February.

Conclusion

The current administrative focus in Uttar Pradesh is the seamless integration of newly joined residents into the state's healthcare workforce. With the nodal centers completing the final rounds of document verification, the admission process for the 2025-26 batch is nearing its definitive end. All candidates currently in the process of reporting are advised to ensure their Demand Drafts and original transcripts are in order to avoid the forfeiture of their hard-earned seats.
