The UP NEET UG Round 1 MBBS Cutoff 2026 has been released for candidates participating in Uttar Pradesh medical counselling. The first-round cutoff provides important information about the opening and closing ranks for MBBS seats offered through the UP NEET UG state counselling process.
Candidates can use the Round 1 cutoff to understand the level of competition for different medical colleges and assess their chances of securing an MBBS seat in subsequent counselling rounds. The cutoff covers admissions across government and private medical colleges participating in the Uttar Pradesh counselling process.
UP NEET UG Round 1 Cutoff 2026: Latest Update
The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has published the latest Round 1 counselling information through the official UP NEET UG counselling portal. The official website also provides the UP state merit list for the first round and other counselling-related notifications.
The cutoff ranks are useful for candidates who want to compare their NEET UG 2026 rank with the ranks at which seats were allotted in different colleges.
College-Wise MBBS Cutoff
Candidates should check the official cutoff data for their preferred college and category. The closing rank represents the last rank at which admission was allotted for a particular seat/category in that counselling round.
Cutoffs can differ considerably between colleges because of factors such as NEET rank, category, seat availability, candidate preferences and choice filling. Therefore, candidates should not treat the closing rank of one college as applicable to another institution.
Government and Private Medical Colleges
The Round 1 cutoff includes MBBS admissions through participating government and private medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh. Candidates can use the data to compare colleges before subsequent rounds of counselling.
Popular government institutions such as KGMU Lucknow, Dr RML Institute of Medical Sciences, GSVM Medical College and other UP medical colleges are among the institutions candidates may consider while analysing their options.
How to Check UP NEET UG Round 1 MBBS Cutoff 2026
Candidates can follow these steps:
Visit the official UP NEET counselling website.
Open the latest UP NEET UG 2026 counselling notifications/results.
Look for the Round 1 MBBS cutoff or allotment information.
Select the relevant college, category and course information.
Check the opening and closing ranks.
Compare the cutoff with your NEET UG 2026 rank.
The official portal also provides a Seat Allotment Result section where candidates can check their individual allotment using their NEET-related credentials and captcha.
What Does the Closing Rank Mean?
The closing rank is generally the rank of the last candidate who received a seat in a particular college, course and category during that counselling round. A candidate with a better rank than the closing rank may have a stronger chance in similar circumstances, although future-round cutoffs can change.
Candidates should therefore use Round 1 data as a reference while making choices for subsequent counselling rounds rather than treating it as a guaranteed admission prediction.
