Overview
The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh, has released the UP NEET UG Round 1 MBBS cutoff 2026 on September 7, 2026. Candidates can check college-wise opening and closing ranks for government and private medical colleges, including KGMU Lucknow, RMLIMS Lucknow, GSVM Medical College Kanpur and GIMS Greater Noida. This is an admission exercise rather than a recruitment drive; therefore, there are no posts, while the number of MBBS seats is governed by the approved counselling seat matrix.
