How to Recover Your Application Number for UP NEET UG Counselling 2026

Your UP NEET UG Counselling application number is the same as your NEET UG 2026 Application Number — there is no separate number issued by the UP portal. The 17-digit number appears on your NEET UG admit card and on your NEET UG result or scorecard.

If you cannot locate your NEET UG application number, use these methods to retrieve it:

  1. Visit the NTA NEET UG official portal and download your NEET UG admit card or result — your Application Number is printed at the top of both documents.
  2. Log in to the NTA candidate portal using your registered email and password to view your NEET UG application details.
  3. Check your email inbox for the NTA NEET UG registration confirmation email — it contains your application number in the subject line or body.
  4. Check SMS messages on your registered mobile number — NTA sends an application number confirmation SMS at the time of NEET UG registration.

Once you have your NEET UG application number, return to upneet.gov.in and use it to register or log in. Do not confuse the Application Number with the Roll Number — both appear on the admit card but only the Application Number is used for UP counselling login.

How to Reset Your Password on upneet.gov.in

If you registered on the UP NEET UG Counselling portal in a previous round or earlier in the 2026 cycle but forgot your password, follow these steps to set a new one.

  1. Go to upneet.gov.in and click "Candidate Login".
  2. Click "Forgot Password" below the login form.
  3. Enter your NEET UG Application Number and Date of Birth.
  4. An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number — enter it in the field provided.
  5. Click "Verify" once the OTP is accepted.
  6. Enter and confirm your new password.
  7. Click "Submit" — your password is reset immediately.
  8. Return to the login page and sign in with your application number and new password.

Passwords on government portals typically require 8–15 characters including at least one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character — follow the on-screen instructions on upneet.gov.in for the exact requirements at the time of reset.

Error Fixes — OTP Not Received, Page Not Loading, and Form Errors

OTP Not Received on upneet.gov.in

  • Wait at least 2–3 minutes before requesting a new OTP — OTPs are delayed during high portal traffic.
  • Check if your mobile number has DND (Do Not Disturb) activated — DND blocks transactional SMS from government portals on some networks. Call your telecom provider to remove DND.
  • Verify that the mobile number matches the one you used during NEET UG 2026 registration with NTA.
  • Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data — a network switch often clears delivery delays.
  • If an email OTP option is available on the portal, use that as an alternative.

Portal Not Loading or Showing a Server Error

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete in Chrome and clear all cache and cookies, then reload upneet.gov.in.
  • Open upneet.gov.in in a Chrome incognito window (Ctrl + Shift + N) to bypass cached data and extensions.
  • Disable browser extensions such as ad blockers or script blockers — these often block elements on government portals.
  • Confirm that JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings.
  • Access the portal during early morning or late night hours (before 8 AM or after 10 PM) when server load is lower.

Form Submission and Registration Errors

  • If the form freezes mid-submission, do not refresh the page — wait 60 seconds for the portal to respond and then check whether the form was submitted.
  • Ensure photo and signature uploads meet the portal’s file size and format requirements — typically JPG format, photo under 50 KB, signature under 30 KB.
  • A "duplicate registration" error means an account already exists for your application number — use Forgot Password to recover it rather than trying to register again.
  • If a required field shows an error despite correct data, try a different browser or clear autofill data that may be overwriting your input.
  • For unresolved errors, contact the DGME UP helpdesk — the helpdesk number and email are listed on the upneet.gov.in homepage during active counselling rounds.

UP NEET UG Counselling 2026 Login FAQs

Ques. What is the login ID for UP NEET UG Counselling 2026 on upneet.gov.in?

Ans. Your login ID for upneet.gov.in is your NEET UG 2026 Application Number — the 17-digit number printed on your NEET UG admit card and result scorecard. The UP counselling portal does not issue a separate login ID.

Ques. I forgot my UP NEET UG Counselling portal password. How do I reset it?

Ans. Click "Forgot Password" on the upneet.gov.in login page. Enter your NEET UG Application Number and Date of Birth, verify the OTP sent to your registered mobile number, and set a new password. You can log in with the new password immediately after resetting.

Ques. My OTP is not arriving on upneet.gov.in. What should I do?

Ans. Wait 2–3 minutes and request a fresh OTP. If it still does not arrive, check whether DND is active on your mobile number and deactivate it through your telecom provider. Also confirm the mobile number matches your NEET UG registered number. Switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) often resolves delivery delays.

Ques. The upneet.gov.in portal is not opening. What should I do?

Ans. Clear your browser cache (Ctrl + Shift + Delete in Chrome), then open upneet.gov.in in a new incognito window or a different browser. Disable ad-blocker extensions and ensure JavaScript is enabled. Government portals face high traffic during registration — try accessing the site during early morning or late night hours for a faster connection.

Ques. The portal says my application number is invalid. What am I doing wrong?

Ans. Cross-check the application number on your NEET UG 2026 admit card or result scorecard. Make sure you are entering the Application Number and not the Roll Number — both appear on the admit card but they are different. Also confirm your Date of Birth is in DD/MM/YYYY format. If the details are correct and the error continues, contact the DGME UP helpdesk.

Ques. Can I register on upneet.gov.in without a NEET UG 2026 application number?

Ans. No. A valid NEET UG 2026 Application Number is mandatory for registration and login on upneet.gov.in. You must have appeared in NEET UG 2026 and received an application number from NTA to participate in UP NEET UG Counselling 2026. If you cannot locate your number, download your NEET UG admit card or result from the NTA portal — your application number appears on both documents.

Ques. What documents do I need ready before logging in for UP NEET UG Counselling 2026?

Ans. Keep the following ready before you log in: NEET UG 2026 Admit Card (for application number and roll number), NEET UG 2026 Result/Scorecard, your Date of Birth, your registered mobile number (for OTP), and a scanned passport-size photo and signature in JPG format within the portal’s specified file size limits.
