FARIDKOT, PUNJAB — The deadline for college reporting in the Punjab National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 Round 1 counselling has been extended to December 7 , 2025. Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, which oversees the state’s medical admissions, announced this revision. The extension became necessary after corrections to the provisional seat allotment results, initially published on November 25, 2025.
Candidates who secured seats in the Punjab NEET PG 2025 Round 1 allotment must now complete their college joining formalities. The revised window for reporting to their respective medical or dental postgraduate institutes is from December 2 to December 7 , 2025. This process typically involves document verification, fee payment, and confirmation of the allocated seat, ensuring all admitted students can finalize their enrollment after the result adjustments.
Technical Error Prompts Result Revisions
BFUHS attributed the schedule change to a “technical oversight or syntax error” detected in the initial provisional result. The university published this first version of the provisional allotment on November 25, 2025. It contained discrepancies affecting certain candidates’ allocations. Upon identifying these errors, BFUHS promptly initiated necessary corrections, leading to the release of revised provisional results. These revisions directly necessitated the adjustment of the college joining timeline.
An official notice from BFUHS confirmed the adjustments. It stated, “Due to technical oversight/syntax error in the 1st round PG Medical counseling provisional result published on 27.11.2025, the provisional result of following candidates is hereby revised after necessary corrections.” The notice further clarified the timeline, adding, “The dates of joining are also hereby revised in consonance with the revised schedule released by the MCC and candidates will join the respective colleges/institutions from 02.12.2025 to 07.12.2025.” This alignment with the Medical Counselling Committee’s (MCC) broader schedule ensures uniformity for candidates.
Round 1 Allotment Figures
The Punjab NEET PG 2025 Round 1 counselling successfully allotted a significant number of seats. A total of 1,311 candidates received allocations to various MD, MS, and postgraduate diploma courses across participating institutions. Additionally, 14 candidates secured seats under the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota during this initial phase. All provisional seat allotment results were made accessible through the official BFUHS portal for candidates to review.
Upcoming: Round 2 Counselling Details
BFUHS has also indicated that it will soon release the comprehensive schedule for Punjab NEET PG 2025 Round 2 counselling. This subsequent round is critical for facilitating further admissions to vacant seats and providing opportunities for candidates to upgrade their current allocations.
