• Online registration and application fee payment
• Provisional state merit list publication
• Choice filling and locking
• Round 1 seat allotment, followed by document verification and reporting
• Round 2 (mop-up) and a stray-vacancy round to fill surrendered or vacant seats

Eligibility for Punjab NEET PG Counselling

• A valid, qualifying NEET PG score/rank in the applicable percentile category
• Completion of a compulsory rotatory internship before the counselling deadline
• Registration with BFUHS specifically for Punjab state counselling
• Domicile requirement now applies only to reserved-category state-quota seats; general-category state-quota eligibility no longer requires Punjab domicile under the latest notification

Fee Structure & Security Deposit (Typical Pattern)

While BFUHS confirms exact figures each cycle, recent years have followed this broad structure:

• Government seats: choice-filling security deposit of roughly ₹25,000 (₹12,500 for SC/BC candidates)
• Private/deemed seats: a considerably higher deposit, historically around ₹2 lakh
• Course fees vary sharply by college and quota – management and NRI-quota seats in private colleges cost significantly more than state-quota government seats

Counselling Rounds Explained

1. Round 1 & Round 2 – Seat allotment is strictly by merit, followed by document verification and physical reporting at the allotted college.
2. Mop-Up / Round 3 – Fills seats surrendered after Rounds 1 and 2.
3. Stray Vacancy Round – The final opportunity to grab any seats left vacant late in the cycle.

How to Use the Seat Matrix for Choice Filling

1. Start with your rank and category. Use the NEET PG College Predictor 2026 for a realistic range.
2. List branches first, then colleges. Decide your must-have and acceptable branches. The Branch Predictor can help.
3. Mix safe, moderate, and reach choices across government and private colleges.
4. Check seat counts. A branch with 1 or 2 seats is far more volatile than one with 20.
5. Check quota and category. Make sure the seat is open to your category.
6. Check fees and deposit for private seats before you lock them.
7. Review every round. Update your list when a new list is out.

• NEET PG scorecard and admit card
