UP NEET UG 2025 Round 2 Choice Filling Begins Today, Deadline Nears for Medical Aspirants

The Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET), Uttar Pradesh, has officially commenced the online choice filling and locking process for Round 2 of NEET UG 2025 counselling. Following the release of the merit list yesterday, this is a pivotal moment for thousands of medical and dental aspirants aiming for a seat in government and private colleges across the state. This phase requires meticulous attention, as the preferences submitted will determine the final seat allotment. All eligible candidates, including new registrants and those looking to upgrade their seats, must participate actively to secure a seat.

Key Dates and Crucial Actions for Aspirants

This round presents a final, decisive opportunity for many candidates. It is essential to be aware of the strict timelines and requirements to ensure a smooth counselling process. Aspirants must carefully research their preferred institutions, review the updated seat matrix, and then rank their choices in order of preference. The choices filled and locked will be the only ones considered for seat allocation.

Here is a quick overview of the essential dates for the UP NEET UG Round 2 Counselling:

• Online Choice Filling & Locking: The window is open from September 19, 2025, to September 23, 2025, until 11:00 AM. Choices must be locked by the deadline to be considered.
• Seat Allotment Result: The result for the second round of seat allotment is scheduled to be declared on September 24, 2025.
• Admissions & Reporting: Successful candidates can download their allotment letters and begin the admission process from September 25 to 30, 2025.

Understanding the "No Free Exit" Rule in Round 2

It is critical for aspirants to understand the rules governing Round 2. Unlike the first round, this phase has a "no free exit" policy. This means that if a candidate is allotted a seat in this round and fails to report to the college and complete the admission formalities, their security deposit will be forfeited. Furthermore, they may be disqualified from participating in subsequent rounds of counselling. This rule reinforces the importance of making a final, well-thought-out decision during the choice-filling phase. Aspirants are urged to only list colleges they are willing to join if allotted.
