Understanding the UP NEET PG Round 2 Merit List
One of the most common confusions among candidates is the purpose of the Round 2 merit list. The Round 2 merit list is not a seat allotment list. It is a list of candidates who are eligible to participate in the choice filling process.
Who Is Included in the Round 2 Merit List?
The merit list generally includes:
1. Fresh Candidates
Candidates who:
- Registered specifically for Round 2
- Completed registration between December 10 and December 15, 2025
- Paid the registration fee and security deposit successfully
2. Previously Eligible Candidates
Candidates who:
- Participated in Round 1
- Were not allotted any seat, or
- Opted for upgradation instead of accepting a seat
Early data suggests that around 100+ new candidates have been added to the Round 2 merit pool, increasing competition significantly.
