Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot has issued a partially revised schedule for the 3rd Round of UG Medical/Dental Online Punjab State Counselling under NEET UG 2026. The notice was issued by the Admission Branch on October 1, 2026.
According to the notice, the schedule has been revised in view of the September 9, 2026 deadline for joining seats allotted under the 3rd Round of All India Quota (AIQ) counselling. The revision is intended to provide eligible candidates who do not receive an AIQ seat an opportunity to participate in the Punjab State Quota counselling.
The revised schedule covers online choice/preference filling, processing of seat allotment, display of provisional allotment results and submission of objections. The university has clarified that the remaining schedule, terms and conditions of the 3rd Round of Punjab State Counselling will remain unchanged.

Objections Must Be Submitted in Person
Candidates who have any objection to the provisional seat allotment must submit their objection along with the relevant supporting documents or records in person at the Admission Branch, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot.
The university has specifically stated that objections submitted through email, post or any other mode will not be entertained.
Candidates therefore need to check their provisional allotment carefully once the result is published on October 8, 2026 and submit any required objection by 3:00 PM on October 9, 2026.
Why Has the Punjab Round 3 Schedule Been Revised?
BFUHS stated that the revision has been made keeping in view the last date for joining seats allotted under the 3rd Round of All India Quota (AIQ) counselling, which is September 9, 2026, and to facilitate candidates who may not receive an AIQ seat to participate in Punjab State Quota counselling, subject to the applicable eligibility criteria and counselling conditions.
The revised dates replace the corresponding dates in the earlier Round 3 schedule. The university has not revised the remaining terms and conditions of the counselling.
