Overview & Purpose of Round 2

After the first round of counselling and allotment in Haryana, some seats may remain vacant due to non‑joining, withdrawals, or upgradation. The Round 2 counselling is meant to fill those leftover seats and allow eligible candidates (including fresh registrants, depending on state rules) to get a chance at remaining colleges.

Even those who got seats in Round 1 may opt for upgradation (i.e. attempt to move to a better college choice) in Round 2, if the rules permit. In Haryana, fresh registration is mandated for Round 2—even candidates who had registered earlier but did not secure a seat must register again.

Also, for 2025 Haryana counselling, 200 new MBBS seats were added (in two new government medical colleges in Bhiwani and Narnaul) with approval from the NMC.

Cutoff Criteria: Government vs Private Colleges in Haryana

“Cutoff” refers to the minimum NEET marks or percentile a candidate must achieve (in their category) to be eligible for allotment in a specific college/seat. Cutoffs vary by category (General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwD), by college (government or private), and by demand in that round.

a) NEET Qualifying Cutoff (Baseline)

Before any state allotment, the candidate must clear the national eligibility cutoff. For 2025, Haryana follows the standard NEET cutoffs:

These are the minimum eligibility marks to enter the merit list for state counselling.

b) State Quota / Government Colleges in Haryana

A large share of seats in government medical colleges is reserved under Haryana State Quota. Many seats are open only to candidates fulfilling Haryana domicile or local eligibility norms.

Because government colleges are highly sought, their cutoffs are typically much higher than the basic qualifying marks. For General category, cutoffs in government colleges tend to be well above the 50th percentile threshold.

In Round 2, the cutoffs may shift (often downward for less competitive seats or upward for popular ones), depending on how many strong candidates have already been accommodated and how many high-demand colleges remain.

c) Private / Minority / Management Quota Colleges

Private, minority, or management quota seats tend to have more flexible cutoffs (i.e., somewhat lower) compared to top-tier government colleges, but this depends heavily on reputation, fees, and seat demand.

Some private colleges may admit candidates from outside Haryana under management quotas or minority quotas, increasing competition.

Because private colleges have more leeway in structuring their quotas, the effective cutoff can vary widely: for highly reputed private colleges it might be close to government college cutoffs, while for less sought-after ones it may drop much lower.

d) 2025 Haryana Round 2 Cutoffs (Category‑wise)

For 2025 Round 2, Haryana’s counselling authority (UHSRU / DMER) published the following category-wise cutoffs:

These are baseline cutoffs. Actual cutoffs for each college (govt or private) will be higher in many cases.

The Allotment & Reporting Flow in Round 2

Here is a typical sequence for Round 2 in Haryana:

Fresh Registration / Re‑registration: All interested candidates must register between the given dates (for 2025: September 11–14).

Payment of Security Deposit / Fee: During registration or choice filling, candidates must pay a security deposit. The fee structure differs depending on whether applying for only government seats vs government + private seats.

Choice Filling and Locking: Candidates select preferred colleges (with upgradation options) and lock their choices.

Provisional Seat Allotment / Result Publication: The state authority publishes which candidate is allotted which college. For 2025, provisional allotment is published on September 16.

Grievance / Challenge Window: There is often a window for candidates to raise issues or corrections (e.g. document mismatches).

Final Allotment Publication: After resolving grievances, the final allotment list is issued.

Document Verification & Reporting to College: Candidates must submit original documents at designated verification centres or the allotted college within given dates (for 2025: September 21–23).

Payment of Tuition / Admission Fees: To confirm the seat, candidates must pay their fees in time.

Joining the Institution: Finally, the candidate must physically join the allotted medical college by the last date.

If a candidate is allotted a seat but fails to report or verify documents by the deadline, the seat may be canceled or reallotted to someone else.

Carry extra sets of self-attested photocopies.

Mismatch or missing documents during verification may lead to rejection of allotment.

Always check the official Haryana DMER / UHSRU counselling brochure for that year’s precise document list and format.

Strategy, Tips & Caution for Candidates in Round 2

Don’t wait until the last day to register or upload documents—many candidates face technical issues or delays.

Be realistic with your choices but also include some aspirational (higher) and safe colleges in your preference list.

Keep backup options in private colleges or lesser-known government colleges, especially if your score is moderate.

Keep a close eye on seat matrix / college-wise vacant seats to adjust your choices accordingly.

Document verification is strict—make sure all originals are ready and in order.

If you are upgrading from a seat allocated in Round 1, check whether that seat will be lost if not upgraded (some states require you to surrender earlier seat).

Stay updated via the official counselling portal / notifications; any change in schedule or rules should be monitored carefully.
