Uttarakhand NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026
The Uttarakhand NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026 will provide the course-wise and college-wise seats available for the respective counselling round.
The latest NMC postgraduate data shows recognised MD/MS courses across government and private institutions in Uttarakhand. The final seats available through state counselling can differ from the total sanctioned intake because of AIQ, State Quota, management and other applicable seat categories.
Some important government institutions with postgraduate courses include:
| Government Medical College | Location |
| Government Medical College, Dehradun | Dehradun |
| Government Medical College, Haldwani | Haldwani |
| Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Government Institute of Medical Science & Research | Srinagar, Pauri Garhwal |
| Soban Singh Jeena Government Institute of Medical Sciences & Research | Almora |
The NMC's 2025–26 data also identifies government medical colleges at Haridwar and other newer institutions in the state; their PG course availability should be checked against the latest NMC and HNBUMU PG matrices rather than the MBBS intake.
Private Medical Colleges in Uttarakhand for NEET PG
Uttarakhand has several private medical colleges with postgraduate medical courses. The major institutions include:
| Private Medical College | Location |
| Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences | Dehradun |
| Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences | Dehradun |
| Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya | Dehradun |
The NMC PG seat data confirms postgraduate courses at these institutions. For example, Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya has PG courses including Dermatology, Anaesthesiology, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Radiodiagnosis and Paediatrics, while Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences has a much broader postgraduate intake.
Graphic Era Institute of Medical Sciences is also a recognised medical college in Uttarakhand; however, candidates should check the final 2026 PG seat matrix to confirm which postgraduate courses and seats are included in HNBUMU counselling.
Uttarakhand NEET PG Merit List 2026
HNBUMU will release the Uttarakhand NEET PG merit list 2026 after completing the registration and verification process.
The state merit list determines the order in which eligible candidates are considered for seats during state counselling. In the 2025 process, HNBUMU published the Round 1 provisional state merit list before releasing the final seat matrix and opening choice filling.
Candidates should check their:
- State merit rank
- NEET PG rank
- Category
- Eligibility status
- Document-verification status
Uttarakhand NEET PG Choice Filling and Seat Allotment
After the merit list and seat matrix are published, eligible candidates can enter their preferred courses and colleges.
Candidates should prepare their choices after considering their NEET PG rank, category, previous-year cutoff, speciality preference, college preference and fee structure.
Seat allotment is carried out based on state merit, choices filled, seat availability and applicable reservation/eligibility rules. HNBUMU's previous counselling instructions specifically state that allotment is made on the basis of the state merit list and choices filled by candidates.
| Stage | Candidate Action |
| Merit List | Check state rank and eligibility |
| Seat Matrix | Review available courses and colleges |
| Choice Filling | Enter preferred options |
| Choice Locking | Lock choices before deadline |
| Seat Allotment | Check allotted college/course |
| Fee/Admission | Complete prescribed admission formalities |
| Reporting | Report to allotted college |
Candidates should fill choices carefully because the counselling authority considers the options submitted during allotment.
Uttarakhand NEET PG Cutoff 2026
The Uttarakhand NEET PG Cutoff 2026 will vary by college, speciality, category, quota and counselling round. Government and private colleges can have substantially different closing ranks.
For reference, reported 2025 counselling data included the following closing ranks for selected government-college courses:
| College | Course | 2025 Reference Closing Rank* |
| Government Medical College, Haldwani | MD General Medicine | 35,743 |
| Government Medical College, Haldwani | MD Paediatrics | 7,425 |
| Doon Medical College, Dehradun | MD Paediatrics | 8,170 |
| Doon Medical College, Dehradun | MD Respiratory Medicine | 8,981 |

| Government Medical College, Haldwani | MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology | 11,508 |
| Government Medical College, Haldwani | MS ENT | 12,622 |
*Previous-year reference figures; closing ranks can differ by category and counselling round.
Private medical colleges can have much higher closing ranks, particularly for government-quota seats within private institutions. The 2025 data also shows considerable variation between government-quota and management-quota seats.
Expected Uttarakhand NEET PG Cutoff 2026
A fixed expected Uttarakhand NEET PG cutoff 2026 cannot be determined before counselling. The closing rank will depend on the 2026 seat matrix, candidate preferences, NEET PG ranks, category and the number of seats available in each round.
Candidates should use the 2025 college-wise closing ranks as a reference while preparing their choices rather than treating them as guaranteed 2026 cutoffs.
Documents Required
Candidates should keep the following documents ready for the application and verification process:
| Document | Requirement |
| NEET PG 2026 Admit Card | Required |
| NEET PG 2026 Scorecard | Required |
