Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Counselling: Important Dates

Candidates participating in the third round should carefully follow each deadline because missing a counselling activity can affect their eligibility for admission or further rounds.

What is Haryana NEET UG Round 3 Counselling 2026?

Haryana NEET UG Round 3 counselling is the state-level admission process through which eligible NEET UG 2026 candidates can compete for vacant or newly available seats in MBBS and BDS programmes offered by participating institutions in Haryana.

The counselling covers eligible seats in:

• Government medical colleges

• Government-aided institutions

• Private medical colleges

• Government dental colleges

• Private dental colleges

• Eligible private/minority universities

• Other institutions included in the Haryana state counselling framework

The Round 3 process provides another opportunity to candidates who could not secure a seat earlier, candidates who were allotted seats but did not join, and candidates who have already joined and want to participate in the upgrade process.

Who Can Participate in Haryana NEET UG Round 3?

The Round 3 process is open to different categories of candidates, subject to the counselling rules and eligibility conditions.

1. Candidates Not Allotted a Seat in Round 1 or Round 2

Candidates who registered for the Haryana NEET UG counselling process but did not receive a seat in either of the first two rounds can participate in Round 3.

Such candidates should review the available seats and submit fresh preferences according to their desired course and college.

2. Candidates Who Were Allotted a Seat But Did Not Join

Candidates who received an allotment during Round 1 or Round 2 but did not join the allotted institution may also be eligible to participate, subject to the applicable counselling conditions.

3. Candidates Seeking Upgradation

Candidates who joined the seat allotted in an earlier round and want to move to a higher-preference college or course can participate in Round 3 by exercising the required willingness/upgrade option.

Candidates already holding a seat should carefully understand the consequences of participating in the upgrade process before submitting their willingness.

4. Fresh Candidates

Candidates who did not register earlier can register during the Round 3 registration window, provided they meet the applicable eligibility criteria.

Candidates who have already registered in earlier rounds generally do not have to create a completely new registration, while fresh candidates must complete the registration process during the specified period. (Edufever)

Haryana NEET UG Round 3 Choice Filling 2026

Choice filling is one of the most important stages of the counselling process. Candidates will have to submit their preferred medical and dental colleges and courses through the designated counselling portal.

For Round 3, candidates should not simply rely on the preferences entered during the earlier rounds. The choices submitted in previous rounds are treated as null and void for the new round, and candidates must submit fresh choices for Round 3. (Edufever)

Candidates should therefore:

1.    Log in to the Haryana NEET UG counselling portal.

2.    Review the colleges and courses available for Round 3.

3.    Add preferences in the desired order.

4.    Arrange choices carefully according to preference.

5.    Review the complete choice list.

6.    Lock the choices before the deadline.

7.    Save or download the confirmation page for future reference.

Candidates seeking an upgrade should give careful consideration to their existing seat and the choices they submit because the outcome of the allotment will depend on merit, eligibility, seat availability, category and the preferences entered by the candidate.

Haryana NEET UG Round 3 Security Fee

Candidates participating in Round 3 are required to comply with the applicable security-deposit provisions.

As per the announced schedule and counselling instructions:

• ₹10,000 is applicable for candidates opting for State Quota seats in government/government-aided colleges.

• A reduced security amount of ₹5,000 is applicable to eligible Haryana candidates belonging to specified categories, including SC/SCD, BCA, BCB, EWS and PWBD categories, as prescribed.

• Candidates opting for State Quota and/or Management Quota seats in private medical or dental colleges, including eligible private universities, are required to deposit ₹1,00,000.

Candidates should select the appropriate category and seat type carefully while completing the counselling process. (Edufever)

Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment

The provisional seat allotment for Round 3 is scheduled for October 12, 2026.

Seat allocation will depend on factors such as:

• NEET UG 2026 merit/rank

• Candidate eligibility

• Category

• Applicable reservation rules

• Availability of seats

• Choices submitted by the candidate

• Candidate's willingness/upgrade status

• Applicable state counselling rules

After the provisional allotment is published, candidates will have an opportunity to raise grievances, wherever applicable. Candidates allotted seats must then complete the prescribed fee-payment and admission formalities within the stipulated deadlines.

Provisional Tuition Fee Payment

Candidates who receive a seat in Round 3 will have to deposit the prescribed provisional tuition fee online between October 12 and October 14, 2026, up to 11:00 PM.

Candidates should not wait until the final hours to complete the payment. After making the payment, they should preserve the transaction details, receipt and confirmation page.

Failure to complete the required payment within the prescribed period may affect the candidate's admission.

Physical Document Verification

Candidates allotted seats in Round 3 will be required to undergo physical document verification.

The scheduled document verification is to be conducted on:

October 15 and October 16, 2026, from 9:00 AM onwards

The verification venue is the Sushruta Auditorium, UHS Rohtak. (Edufever)

Candidates should carry all original documents along with the required photocopies. The exact document requirements should be checked against the latest counselling instructions before appearing for verification.

Important documents generally include:

• NEET UG 2026 admit card

• NEET UG 2026 scorecard/result

• Haryana NEET UG counselling registration details

• Provisional seat allotment letter

• Class 10 certificate

• Class 12 certificate and marksheet

• Date-of-birth proof

• Valid photo identification

• Haryana domicile certificate, wherever applicable

• Category certificate, if applicable

• EWS certificate, if applicable

• PwBD certificate, if applicable

• Other certificates required under the applicable category or quota

• Passport-size photographs

• Fee-payment receipt

• Any additional documents specified by the counselling authority

Candidates should ensure that certificates are valid and issued by the competent authority in the prescribed format.

Provisional Admission Letter

Candidates who complete the necessary formalities can download their provisional admission letter between October 15 and October 17, 2026.

The admission letter should be downloaded and kept safely because it may be required during the final admission and reporting process.

Last Date for Joining the Allotted College

The final deadline for candidates allotted seats in Haryana NEET UG Round 3 to join/report to their respective institutions is:

October 17, 2026, up to 4:00 PM

Candidates should physically report to the allotted college well before the deadline and complete all institutional admission formalities.

Late reporting may not be accepted, particularly where the candidate has failed to comply with the counselling authority's prescribed schedule.

Important Rule for Candidates Seeking Upgrade

Candidates who have already joined an earlier-round seat and want to participate in Round 3 for upgradation must exercise the prescribed willingness option online.

Simply having participated in an earlier round does not automatically guarantee consideration for an upgrade.

Candidates should therefore log in to their counselling account, check the available option and submit their willingness within the specified deadline. (Edufever)

What Happens If a Candidate Does Not Join After Round 3 Allotment?

Candidates should be particularly careful before submitting their choices.

Under the Round 3 instructions, if a candidate is allotted a seat according to the submitted preferences but does not join the allotted seat, the applicable security amount may be forfeited, and the candidate may become ineligible for subsequent/stray vacancy opportunities.

Therefore, candidates should include only those colleges and courses in their choice list that they are genuinely prepared to join if allotted.

Security Deposit Refund

Candidates who do not receive a seat in the applicable counselling round can receive a refund of the security deposit after completion of the counselling process, subject to the applicable rules.

Candidates should retain their payment and registration records until the entire counselling process, including any applicable refund procedure, has been completed. (Edufever)

Reserved Category Vacancies in Round 3

An important aspect of the Haryana NEET UG Round 3 process is the treatment of vacant reserved-category seats.

As per the applicable Haryana Government provisions referred to in the Round 3 counselling notice, vacant reserved seats can be reverted to the prescribed category sequence and filled according to merit within the Round 3 process.

Candidates belonging to reserved categories should therefore carefully check the category-wise seat availability before submitting their choices.

Private and Minority Universities Covered

The Round 3 counselling schedule also covers eligible private/minority universities participating in the Haryana admission process.

The institutions specifically included in the announced framework include:

• SGT University, Budhera, Gurugram

• Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Sadhopur, Ambala

• Al-Falah University, Dhauj, Faridabad

• Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University

Candidates interested in private university seats should carefully check the applicable fee structure, quota, eligibility conditions and available seats before locking their choices. (Edufever)

Haryana NEET UG Counselling 2026: What Candidates Should Do Now

With the Round 3 schedule announced, candidates should start preparing their documents and reviewing the available MBBS and BDS options rather than waiting for the registration window to open.

Those who are looking for an upgrade should assess their current seat against the available Round 3 choices. Candidates who did not receive an allotment in earlier rounds should prepare a realistic preference list based on their NEET UG rank, category, eligibility and expected availability of seats.

Candidates should also pay close attention to the distinction between government/government-aided seats and private/management quota seats, particularly because the applicable security deposit can differ substantially.

Most importantly, candidates should not treat choice filling as a routine formality. Once choices are locked, the resulting allotment can determine the institution and course offered to the candidate. Therefore, preferences should be entered only after carefully checking the available seats and the candidate's willingness and ability to join the selected institution.

Conclusion

The release of the Haryana NEET UG 2026 Round 3 counselling schedule gives MBBS and BDS aspirants another opportunity to secure or upgrade their seats for the 2026-27 academic session. The process begins on September 28, with registration, editing, choice submission, choice locking and willingness-related activities continuing until October 10.

The provisional seat allocation is scheduled for October 12, followed by fee payment, physical document verification, admission-letter download and college reporting. Candidates should strictly follow the prescribed timeline and ensure that their choices, documents and fee payments are completed correctly.

Since Round 3 can be particularly important for candidates seeking upgrades or waiting for vacant seats, aspirants should monitor the counselling portal regularly and avoid missing any deadline.
