UP NEET PG Counselling 2026 has no confirmed schedule yet, but the money questions are already clear enough to plan around. The last available brochure lists a ₹3,000 registration fee, security money of ₹30,000 to ₹2 lakh, and a reported service bond of ₹40 lakh for two years.
Reports expect registration between October and November 2026. This guide separates what is confirmed from what comes from last cycle, so you know what to verify on the official portal before paying anything.

Eligibility and Who Can Apply
You must have qualified NEET PG 2026 and hold NMC-recognised MBBS registration. Domicile rules for government state-quota seats are set in the brochure, so read that page before assuming you qualify.
Candidates from other states can take part for private-college seats. Confirm this in the 2026 brochure, since it decides whether UP is an option at all.
UP NEET PG Fees, Security Deposit and Tuition
Table
| Item | Amount (last available cycle) | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|
| Registration fee | ₹3,000, covering Rounds 1 to 3; a fresh ₹3,000 for the stray vacancy round | No |
| Security money, government seats only | ₹30,000 | Yes, under counselling rules |
| Security money, government and private medical seats (MD/MS) | ₹2,00,000 | Yes, under counselling rules |
| Security money, private dental seats (MDS) | ₹1,00,000 | Yes, under counselling rules |
| Government college tuition | About ₹48,000-60,000 a year (older listing) | Not applicable |
| Private college tuition | Not verified; check the brochure and each college | Not applicable |

Portals disagree on security slabs. One lists ₹5 lakh and ₹10 lakh for some private MD/MS groups, so treat every figure here as the last cycle's and verify the 2026 brochure.
Security money must be paid before choice filling, or you cannot fill choices. Do not confuse it with tuition, which is a separate payment to the college.
UP NEET PG Bond Rules
Table
| Course | Bond period | Bond amount | Place of service |
|---|---|---|---|
| MD/MS/MDS (PG degree) | 2 years | ₹40 lakh | Senior Resident or contractual faculty in government service, as reported |

Previous-Year Closing Ranks: KGMU Lucknow (NEET PG 2025)
These are MCC All India Quota ranks at KGMU for NEET PG 2025, an 800-mark paper. They are not UP state-counselling ranks, and they are not predictions for 2026. I found no verified UP state-quota closing-rank table, so check upneet.gov.in for last cycle's results.
Table
| Course and category | Round 1 closing rank | Last reported rank |
|---|---|---|
| MD General Medicine, General | 488 | 1,015 |
| MD General Medicine, EWS | 802 | 802 |
| MD General Medicine, OBC | 1,698 | 2,098 |
| MD General Medicine, SC | 8,802 | 10,342 |
| MD General Medicine, ST | 16,107 | 20,399 |
| MS General Surgery, General | 2,918 | 3,544 |
| MS General Surgery, EWS | 4,247 | 4,247 |
| MS General Surgery, OBC | 4,910 | 9,109 |
| MS General Surgery, SC | 21,656 | 24,988 (Round 2) |
| MS General Surgery, ST | 28,525 | 43,543 |

Figures are compiled from portals reporting MCC data, so verify against MCC's round-wise results. KGMU is among the most sought-after UP colleges; many others close at much higher ranks.
UP State Counselling vs MCC All India Quota
Table
| Point | UP state counselling | MCC All India Quota |
|---|---|---|
| Conducted by | DGME Uttar Pradesh | Medical Counselling Committee |
| Seats | State-quota seats in UP government colleges (reported as about 50%) and private seats | 50% of government college seats nationwide, plus deemed and central seats |
| Eligibility basis | Brochure rules; domicile may apply to government seats | Open to all NEET PG qualifiers |
| Registration | upneet.gov.in | mcc.nic.in |
| Ranks compared | State merit and category rank | All India Rank and category rank |

Register for both processes. A college can look out of reach on MCC and be reachable through the UP state quota.
Documents Required for Registration and Reporting
- NEET PG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- MBBS marksheets and degree or provisional certificate
- Internship completion certificate
- NMC or State Medical Council registration certificate
- Domicile certificate, if claiming state-quota benefit
- Category or EWS certificate, where applicable
- Government photo ID and passport-size photographs
- Bond and security documents, as the brochure requires
This is a typical list, not the official one. The 2026 brochure decides what you upload and what you carry at reporting.
Choice Filling, Allotment and Reporting: Step by Step
- Register on upneet.gov.in with your NEET PG roll number and pay the ₹3,000 registration fee.
- Upload documents and pay the security money for the seats you want.
- Check the merit list and the seat matrix for your category.
- Fill choices in order of real preference; candidates who have not paid security money cannot fill choices.
- Check the allotment result and report to the college with originals within the deadline.
- If unallotted or seeking an upgrade, watch for later rounds; the stray vacancy round needs a fresh registration and fee.
Government vs Private College in Uttar Pradesh: How to Compare
Table
| Factor | Government college | Private college |
|---|---|---|
| Security money (last cycle) | ₹30,000 | ₹2,00,000 for MD/MS |
| Tuition | About ₹48,000-60,000 a year, reported | Not verified; ask the college in writing |
| Bond | ₹40 lakh, two years, as reported | Check whether it applies |
| Competition | Higher; closes at lower ranks | Wider rank range, per reports |
| Who can apply | Domicile rules per brochure | Reported open to non-domicile candidates |

Compare the total cost over three years, including hostel and the bond, not just the rank you need. Never choose a college only on fees or last year's cutoff.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Paying based on a portal's fee table instead of the 2026 brochure.
- Skipping the security money, which blocks choice filling.
- Reading MCC closing ranks as UP state ranks.
- Forgetting the stray round needs a new registration and fee.
- Accepting a seat without understanding the bond and exit terms.
Watch upneet.gov.in for the 2026 notice and keep documents ready. For more NEET PG counselling updates and college predictors, keep checking CaderaEdu.

What happens if a candidate does not join an allotted seat?
Rules on security money and further participation are in the brochure. Reports say resigning after the deadline can mean losing the deposit or facing penalties.
