Every document an Uttar Pradesh candidate needs, covering the national papers every applicant must carry, plus the DGME state-quota proofs and the security deposit. What each one is, how to get it, what it costs, and the mistakes that cost a seat.

Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME), UPupneet.gov.in Verified 7 June 2026

Uttar Pradesh wants a domicile and a heavy refundable deposit before you choose colleges

For the 85% state quota you need a UP domicile certificate, or you must have passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from institutions in UP. Without that you are limited to private management seats. The distinctive step is money: before choice-filling you pay a refundable security deposit, and the payment receipt is itself a required document at verification.

Two gates in Uttar Pradesh

Domicile or 10+12 in UP. A valid UP domicile certificate, or passing Class 10 and Class 12 from UP institutions, is required for the state quota. Non-domiciled candidates can only apply for private management seats.

Security deposit before choice-filling. Registration fee is about Rs.2,000 (non-refundable). The refundable security deposit is about Rs.30,000 for government seats and Rs.2,00,000 for private seats. Keep the payment receipt, because it is checked at verification. (Confirm 2026 amounts in the bulletin.)

You are considered for the 85% state quota and the 15% All India Quota run by the MCC. The documents below cover both. One difference for AIQ: your OBC certificate must be on the Central OBC-NCL list in the central format. A UP OBC certificate works for the state quota but is rejected for AIQ. If you plan to use both, get a central-list OBC-NCL certificate as well.

About this guide

Verified 7 June 2026

Prepared by neet2seat. Rules, fees and timelines were verified against official sources as of 7 June 2026, using the 2025 counselling cycle as the baseline because the 2026 MCC and state information bulletins were not yet published when this was written. The 3 May 2026 NEET UG exam was cancelled; the re-exam is on 21 June 2026 with results expected in July, so every counselling date will move accordingly. Fee figures are from 2025 bulletins and can change. Cross-check the exact proforma, fee and signing authority against the official 2026 brochure before you get any certificate made. This is information, not legal advice.
