UP Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing Counselling 2026: Procedure, Documents & Seat Allotment

The UP Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing counselling for 2026 is a centralized, online process conducted by Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University (ABVMU). It involves mandatory online registration, choice filling, and seat allotment based on CNET 2026 merit. Candidates must pay a non-refundable registration fee (INR 500) and a refundable security fee (INR 5000) to participate.

Overview of the 2026 Counselling Process

Counselling for the academic session 2026-27 is conducted entirely online. Only candidates who have qualified for the Common Nursing Entrance Test (CNET) 2026 are eligible. The process is designed to be transparent, with seat allocation determined solely by the candidate’s CNET rank and category, subject to their preference of colleges.

Stage-by-Stage Counselling Workflow

The counselling journey follows a structured sequence. Failing to complete any stage within the designated dates may lead to forfeiture of your seat.

1. Online Registration: Visit the official ABVMU portal, log in using your CNET registration ID and password, and pay the combined registration and security fees.
2. Choice Filling & Locking: Select as many nursing colleges as possible in order of your preference. Crucial: You must lock your choices before the deadline; otherwise, the system will not consider your preferences.
3. Seat Allotment: Based on your rank and choices, the system automatically allocates seats. The result is published on the portal.
4. Seat Acceptance: Once allotted a seat, you must choose to Freeze (accept and exit counselling), Float (accept but seek better in next round), or Decline (exit counselling).
5. Seat Confirmation Fee: Candidates choosing to freeze or float must pay the mandatory seat confirmation fee (INR 40,000) to confirm the seat.
6. Physical Reporting: Report to the allotted college with original documents for final verification and admission fee payment.

Essential Documents for Verification (Checklist)

Prepare a “Verification File” containing original documents and at least two sets of self-attested photocopies.

How to Fill Choices for Maximum Seat Conversion

To maximize your chances of getting a high-preference college, follow these “IndCareer Edge” strategies:

• Go for Volume: Do not limit your choices to just 1 or 2 colleges. Even if you have a high rank, select as many colleges as possible that you are genuinely willing to join.
• Research the Seat Matrix: Before logging in, check the official seat matrix on the ABVMU website. Identify colleges that have a higher number of seats in your specific category.
• Use the “Float” Option Wisely: If you are allotted a decent college but dream of a top-tier government institution, opt for “Float” to participate in the next round without losing your currently held seat.
• Lock Early: Do not wait until the final hour on the last day of choice filling. Technical glitches during high-traffic periods can prevent you from locking your preferences.
