In a significant development for medical aspirants, the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) in Faridkot has announced a revised schedule for the second round of Punjab National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) counselling for the 2025 academic session. This update comes with the crucial addition of dozens of new seats across several colleges.
Court Order Leads to Seat Expansion
The revision follows a direct order from the Punjab and Haryana High Court. As a result, 53 additional Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Surgery (MS) seats have been incorporated into the ongoing Round 2 counselling process. This expansion provides a fresh opportunity for many candidates vying for a postgraduate medical seat in the state.
The newly added seats are distributed among four prominent medical institutions in Punjab:
- Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Bathinda: 8 seats
- Sri Guru Ram Das University of Health Sciences, Amritsar: 23 seats
- Dayanand Medical College, Ludhiana: 6 seats
- Gian Sagar Medical College and Hospital, Banur: 16 seats
Revised Round 2 Counselling Timeline
With the inclusion of new seats, the university has updated the entire schedule for the second round. Candidates must take note of the following critical dates:
Processing of seat allotment: Will be completed by 5 PM on December 24.
Provisional Round 2 allotment result: Will be declared on December 26.
Submission of objections to provisional result: The window will be open on December 27.
Final allotment result: Also scheduled for declaration on December 27.
Reporting and joining at allotted college: Candidates must complete this process between December 28 and 30.
Key Instructions for Candidates
For candidates who secure a seat in this round, timely reporting is paramount. They must report to their allotted college between December 28 and 30 with all necessary original documents to finalize their admission. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of the allocated seat.
Those who are not satisfied with their Round 2 allotment have the option to seek an upgrade. They can participate in the subsequent Punjab NEET PG counselling Round 3, where they will be permitted to submit fresh choices for colleges, courses, and specialties.
