NEET UG Online Counselling

NEET UG Online Counselling is a certificate verification schedule covered on this page. The key figures are an application window closing 11 March 2026 and a fee of ₹9,500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 08 February 2026 and close on 11 March 2026, giving candidates 32 days to complete the process. The 32-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. A correction window is listed (12-14 March 2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 03/05/2026 (Cancelled); treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The minimum age for this recruitment is 17 years. On qualifications, the notification states: The first year of the three years’ degree course of a recognized University with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Bio-technology including practical tests in these subjects provided the examination is a University Examination and candidate has passed the earlier qualifying exami.... If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹1,000 and ₹9,500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
