The Uttar Pradesh High Court has directed a fresh round‑1 counselling for NEET‑UG admissions to MBBS and BDS courses, overturning the earlier schedule.
The Allahabad High Court issued an order mandating a fresh round‑1 counselling process for candidates seeking admission to MBBS and BDS programmes under the NEET‑UG umbrella in Uttar Pradesh.

Stakeholders have been advised to monitor official communications for updates on the revised timetable, required documentation, and seat allotment criteria. The order underscores the judiciary's role in safeguarding the rights of NEET‑UG candidates in the state.
