The Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET), Lucknow, also known as UPDGME, is gearing up to kickstart the Uttar Pradesh NEET 2023 Counselling process from August 2023. This significant step is conducted via an online mode, opening doors for countless aspirants dreaming of embarking on a career in medicine. The counselling process is crucial for securing a place in both government and private medical and dental colleges across the state, offering courses in MBBS and BDS.

A Closer Look at UP NEET Counselling 2023

The UP NEET Counselling is designed to fill 85% of quota seats in government colleges and a full 100% in private medical colleges within the state. This initiative aims to streamline the admission process, ensuring that candidates can secure their spots in the various government and private medical/dental schools and universities.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

• No Free Exit: Candidates should note that there’s no option for a free exit after seat allotment in any counselling round. However, a free exit is possible if an allotment letter from another state is submitted.
• Security Deposit: The security deposit paid during the counselling process is non-refundable if admission is not taken after the seat allotment. Furthermore, if a candidate fails to report to the college in the first round, the security deposit will be forfeited. To participate in Round 2, a new security deposit is required.
• Document Verification: It is mandatory for all documents to be physically verified before the allotment of seats.
• Choice Locking: This is a crucial step in the counselling process. Without locking in their choices, candidates will not be considered at the time of seat allotment.
• Refund of Security Deposit: The security deposit will be refunded to candidates who are not allotted any seat or those who have been allotted a seat and have taken admission, after all rounds of the counselling process are completed.
