The Uttar Pradesh (UP) NEET UG counseling authority has released the revised merit list for medical and dental college admissions. This list follows the recent direction of the Delhi High Court, which led to the revision of scores for a candidate. This revision resulted in a change in the candidate’s rank, causing a shift in the overall merit list for many others.

Revised Marks and Ranking

A significant change occurred when the marks for a candidate, who was earlier given 529, were increased to 540. As a result, this candidate’s state NEET UG rank improved dramatically from 2507 to 1598. The initial merit list had shown the candidate named Satyansh with 529 marks and a state rank of 2507. After the revision, the new marks were recorded as 540, and the state rank was adjusted to 1598.

This change occurred because the candidate had experienced a time loss during the examination, which warranted the addition of 11 extra grace marks. As a result, the candidate’s All India Rank also improved, rising from 24986 to 17595.5. This revision impacted other candidates as well, with many experiencing a drop in their ranks.

Delay in NEET UG Results Due to Revision

The release of the first round results for UP NEET UG, initially scheduled for August 6, 2025, has been delayed due to these changes in the merit list. The revision in rankings has made it necessary for the authorities to reevaluate the positions of all candidates, leading to this delay.

Overview of the UP NEET UG Merit List

The Directorate of Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh, released the revised merit list for admissions to medical and dental courses in the state. As per the revised list, Mahesh Kumar continues to hold the top spot with 686 marks. Mahesh, who secured the All India NEET UG Rank 1, has been followed by Praneel Munish, who has scored 634 marks and holds the All India Rank of 186.

The third spot is occupied by Yash Chaudhary, who scored 631 marks and holds the All India Rank of 227. These top positions remain unchanged, with only a few other candidates seeing alterations in their ranks due to the revision.

Candidates Included in the Revised Merit List

A total of 30,699 candidates have been included in the UP NEET UG merit list. These candidates had registered for the first round of counseling for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in both government and private medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh. The revised list was created based on their NEET UG scores and eligibility.

Availability of MBBS and BDS Seats

In Uttar Pradesh, there are a total of 13,244 seats available for medical and dental courses. Specifically, there are 11,043 seats for MBBS and 2,201 seats for BDS. The seats will be allocated through the UP NEET UG counseling process, which includes government and private medical colleges as well as government and private dental colleges. A detailed breakdown of seat distribution is as follows:

• Government Medical Colleges: 4,443 seats

• Government Dental Colleges: 51 seats

• Private Dental Colleges: 2,150 seats

NEET UG Counseling Process

The counseling process for NEET UG in Uttar Pradesh will be conducted in four rounds: First, Second, Third, and the Stray Vacancy Round. Candidates interested in participating in both government and private medical or dental seats will be required to pay a security deposit of Rs. 2 lakh. This amount is separate from the tuition fees and will not be adjusted against the fees. Failure to submit the security deposit will disqualify candidates from filling out their preferences during the choice filling process.

The NEET UG counseling provides an opportunity for candidates to secure seats in their desired medical and dental courses. It is crucial for candidates to stay updated on the latest information regarding the merit list and counseling process to ensure a smooth admission experience.

The UP NEET UG revised merit list brings significant changes in the rankings and scores of several candidates. A candidate’s rank can dramatically improve with revised marks, affecting the overall merit list. These revisions, while benefiting some, also led to a reshuffling of ranks for others. As the counseling process progresses, candidates must remain diligent about updates and ensure they fulfill the necessary requirements for securing their admissions.
