The Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET), Uttar Pradesh, has released the detailed schedule for Round 2 of the Uttar Pradesh National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (UP NEET PG) 2025 counselling. This round manages admissions to various postgraduate medical and dental programs across the state. Online registration for eligible candidates opens on December 10 , 2024, and will conclude strictly on December 15 , 2024, at 11 AM.
The much-anticipated seat allotment result for Round 2 will be published on December 20 , 2024. This counselling phase is critical for candidates seeking admission to Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), Diploma, and Diplomate of National Board (DNB) programs in government and private medical colleges across Uttar Pradesh.
Candidates must deposit the non-refundable registration fee and the security amount between December 10 and December 15 , 2024, with the payment window closing at 2 PM. Completion of both registration and fee payment is mandatory for participation in the subsequent counselling steps. A state-specific merit list, based on the registered candidates for Round 2, will be declared on December 15 , 2024, serving as the basis for seat allocation.
Following the merit list, online choice filling will take place from December 15 to December 19 , 2024. During this period, qualified applicants will submit their preferences for postgraduate medical specializations and colleges. Careful and accurate selection of choices is essential, as seat allocation relies heavily on these submissions, alongside merit rank and seat availability. Candidates are advised to prioritize their selections to maximize their chances.
After the allotment results are declared on December 20 , candidates who secure a seat must download their provisional admission letters. The physical admission process, which includes document verification, medical examination, and tuition fee payment, is scheduled across multiple intervals: December 22 to December 24 , December 26 to December 27 , and December 29 to December 30 , 2024.

Understanding the NEET PG Admission Process
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) is the sole entrance examination for admission to MD/MS and Diploma courses in medical colleges across India, forming the basis for postgraduate medical education. The state-level counselling, such as UP NEET PG, handles the allocation of state quota seats. This process ensures that eligible residents of Uttar Pradesh have a structured pathway to pursue specialized medical training within their state, covering both government and private institutions.
MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) are the most common postgraduate degrees, typically three years in duration, leading to specialization in a medical or surgical field, respectively. These programs prepare doctors for advanced clinical practice. Diploma programs offer a shorter, often two-year, focused training in specific clinical areas. DNB (Diplomate of National Board) degrees are awarded by the National Board of Examinations and are widely recognized as equivalent to MD/MS qualifications, often pursued in larger private hospitals or specialized institutions.
Before proceeding with registration, all prospective candidates must confirm their eligibility as per the official guidelines. The DMET emphasizes reviewing the comprehensive UP NEET PG 2025 information booklet and any relevant government orders pertaining to admission criteria. Non-compliance with eligibility rules, at any stage, will lead to immediate disqualification from the counselling process and potential loss of candidature.
