Uttarakhand Nursing and Paramedical Counselling 2026 (HNBUMU): Rounds, Choice Filling, Seat Upgrade and Documents

Last Updated: Oct 14, 2026 | Source: Official hnbumu brochure | hnbumu.ac.in

Seats in Uttarakhand’s nursing and paramedical courses are not allotted by the entrance exam alone. After the result, a state counselling board allots courses and colleges online, in rounds, according to your merit, your eligibility and the choices you fill. This page explains how those rounds work, what to do after you get a seat, which documents to carry, and where the official PDFs for every round and course are.

Latest Update

• 11 October 2026: a notice said candidates allotted Government Nursing College, Kotgi, Rudraprayag in Round 3 will complete their admission process at Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Government Institute of Medical Science and Research, Srinagar Garhwal. All other rules and conditions in the information brochure stay as they are.
• 10 October 2026: a notice said the provisional seat allotment result of Round 3 was published on the university website. Candidates could report any discrepancy by email until 11 October, 4:00 pm, and could download the allotment letter after that time. The notice calls the result indicative, says it can change, and says it gives no right or claim to the allotted seat.
• 6 October 2026: a notice for PWD candidates in Round 3 said a special state-level medical board would meet only on 8 October, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, at the District Hospital / Gandhi Shatabdi Eye Hospital, Dehradun.

Counselling at a Glance

How Counselling Works

1. Register and fill your choices online in the window set for the round. Fees are paid online only.
2. Save and submit your choices. The board then allots seats by your merit, your eligibility and your choices. The allotment is provisional.
3. Log in and download your allotment letter from the university website.
4. Report in person to the allotted college with the required fee and your original documents.
5. Collect your admission letter from the college.

No call letters are sent. If a round is still open and you are satisfied with a seat you already hold, the board advises you not to re-register or fill choices again, so that your seat is not blocked for someone else on the merit list.

Who Can Join Each Round

Round 1: registered candidates took part first. The Round-1 allotment was provisional, and admission on an allotted seat had to be completed by 19 August 2026. Candidates who did not take admission by then could join Round 2.

Round 2: these candidates could join:

• candidates who did not register in Round 1, after paying the registration fee;
• candidates registered in Round 1 who got no seat, with no new fee;
• candidates who took admission in Round 1 and wanted a seat upgrade, with no new fee;
• candidates who did not take admission on their Round-1 seat and wanted a seat in Round 2, with no new fee.

Round 3: these candidates could join:

• candidates registered in Round 1 or 2 who got no seat in either round;
• candidates who took admission in Round 1 or 2 and wanted a seat upgrade;
• candidates who did not register in Round 1 or 2 and wanted a seat in Round 3.

Registration and Choice Filling

• Fee: the registration fee is paid online only, by credit card, debit card or net banking. If you already paid in an earlier round, you do not pay again. The Round-2 and Round-3 instructions do not state the amount, so check the Instructions page on the counselling portal.
• Fresh choices every round: after registering, or logging in with your registered ID, you must fill new choices and submit them. Choices from earlier rounds are cancelled automatically.
• Save, then submit: save your choices first, then submit them. If you saved but did not submit by the deadline, the system submits your saved choices for you. The Round-3 instructions add that if you did not even save them, you are not eligible for seat allotment in that round.
• Changes: the Round-3 instructions allowed a change to your details or choices only during the registration dates, with ₹200 paid online for each change, and each change cancelled your earlier application. Changes requested by email or phone are not accepted.
• Print-out: keep a printout of your completed form. Any later query is settled on the basis of that printout.

Seat Upgrade

• If you took admission on a seat from an earlier round, you can ask for an upgrade in a later round.
• If you are not upgraded, you keep your earlier seat.
• If you are upgraded, you lose your earlier seat. It is vacated and offered to the next candidate on the merit list, so choose only the courses and colleges you really want.
• The rules changed between rounds. The Round-2 instructions said a candidate who stayed with the old seat could not upgrade in Round 3, but the Round-3 instructions allow candidates admitted in Round 1 or 2 to upgrade. Always follow the instructions of the round you are in.

After You Get a Seat

You must appear in person at the allotted college with all your required original documents. Without them, you are not eligible for admission.

• No substitutes: the board does not accept an undertaking or affidavit in place of a certificate.
• Round 1: if you could not show the documents to the principal by the last date, or the check showed you did not meet the eligibility norms, the allotted seat was cancelled immediately.
• Eligibility check: the college is responsible for checking your eligibility before it admits you.

2. Copy of the score card.

4. Intermediate (10+2) certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ans. If you saved them but did not submit by the deadline, the system submits your saved choices. The Round-3 instructions add that if you did not save them either, you are not eligible for seat allotment in that round.

Q4. What if I cannot show my documents at the college?

Ans. In Round 1, a candidate who could not show the required documents to the principal by the last date lost the allotted seat. The board does not accept an undertaking or affidavit in place of a certificate.
