Punjab NEET PG 2025: Round 1 Counselling Open, BFUHS Schedule

Punjab NEET PG 2025 Round 1 counselling registrations are now open. The Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, is conducting admissions for various postgraduate medical programs. These include MD, MS, PG Diploma, and DNB seats. Interested candidates must complete their online registration by November 3 .

The counselling process uses the NEET PG score for admissions. This year, the PG Diploma in Sports Medicine offered by Netaji National Institute of Sports Patiala has also been included. BFUHS announced the complete state counselling schedule shortly after the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) released its NEET PG counselling notification on October 28.

Candidates seeking admission under the Punjab state quota must register through the official BFUHS portal, bfuhs.ac.in. The online application form submission, corrections, and fee payment all have deadlines on November 3 .

A separate process exists for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) candidates. Those applying under the NRI quota must first obtain an eligibility certificate directly from BFUHS. This certificate is mandatory before submitting the Round 1 counselling application form. BFUHS hosts a dedicated application portal for NRI applicants.

Following the application period, BFUHS will verify candidate eligibility. This includes scrutiny of applications under the minority quota. The provisional Punjab NEET PG merit list 2025 is scheduled for publication on November 6 .
