The NEET MDS counselling for the 2026 admission cycle in Uttar Pradesh has been postponed with no new date announced, according to Medical Dialogues.
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for MDS (NEET MDS) counselling, which determines seat allocation for postgraduate dental courses, was scheduled to commence in Uttar Pradesh for the 2026 batch. The process, normally overseen by the state’s medical education department, allows qualified candidates to select colleges based on their rank and preferences.
Medical Dialogues reported that the counselling has been postponed indefinitely, and no revised timetable has been released. The announcement did not specify a reason for the delay, but officials have indicated that candidates will be informed as soon as a new schedule is finalized.
Aspirants who had prepared for the counselling are now awaiting further communication from the Uttar Pradesh Directorate of Medical Education. The postponement may affect admission timelines for dental colleges across the state, potentially influencing enrollment for the upcoming academic year.
Stakeholders are advised to monitor official notifications and the state’s admission portal for updates. Until a concrete date is announced, candidates should keep their documentation ready and stay in touch with the counseling authority for any procedural changes.
