UP NEET UG 2026 MBBS BDS Choice Filling: How to Select Colleges?

While completing UP NEET UG 2026 MBBS/BDS choice filling, candidates should consider more than just the college name. The latest vacant-seat position, course availability, category, fee structure, location and previous allotment status can all be relevant while preparing the preference order.

For MBBS aspirants, the list may include government and private medical colleges participating in Uttar Pradesh state counselling. BDS candidates should similarly check the available government and private dental colleges before locking their preferences.

Candidates should also keep a larger preference list where permitted rather than restricting choices to only a few colleges. However, every selected option should reflect a college and course that the candidate would actually consider joining if allotted.
