Who Can Fill Choices

A disclaimer on every page says the list is registered candidate data for UP NEET PG (MDS) 2026 counselling. It also states that only candidates who have paid both the registration fee and the security money are eligible for choice filling. Being on the list is therefore not enough without both payments. The page legend defines OB, OS, OT and OE as OBC, SC, ST and EWS (Other State).
