Overview
The UP NEET UG Round 2 Merit List 2026 will be issued by the Directorate General of Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh, for candidates seeking admission to MBBS and BDS courses through state counselling. This is an admission process rather than a recruitment drive, so the number of posts is not applicable; the course-wise and college-wise seat matrix will determine the total seats available in Round 2.
Candidates registered for the second counselling round will be able to check their merit status online at upneet.gov.in. Inclusion in the merit list allows eligible candidates to participate in choice filling and seat allotment, but it does not by itself guarantee admission.
