The counselling process includes seat surrender, vacancy display, eligibility certificate submission for NRI/Foreign National candidates, online choice filling, seat allotment, objections and college reporting.

Who Can Participate in PPMET 2026 4th Round Counselling?
All PPMET-2026 qualified candidates from Punjab and other states can submit their online preferences as per the notified counselling schedule, subject to the applicable eligibility conditions and counselling rules. The qualifying criteria mentioned in the notice are:
- General: 40th percentile
- SC/ST/OBC: 30th percentile
- General-PwD: 35th percentile
- SC/ST/OBC-PwD: 30th percentile
Other-state candidates will be considered for seat allotment after eligible Punjab candidates, subject to the applicable rules and availability of seats.
PPMET 2026 4th Round Choice Filling
The PPMET 2026 4th Round choice filling will be available from October 9 to October 12, 2026. Candidates can submit preferences for:
- Colleges
- Categories
- Quotas
Candidates should arrange their choices in the order in which they want to be considered for admission.
Important: Do Not Fill Choices Only From the Vacancy List
One of the most important instructions in the BFUHS notice is that candidates do not have to restrict their choices only to seats shown vacant in the initial vacancy position. A seat that is not initially shown as vacant may become available during Round 4 because:
- A candidate may shift or upgrade to another college, category or quota.
- A candidate admitted in an earlier round may surrender the seat.
- Reserved or NRI seats may be converted into Open Merit seats after eligible candidates of the respective category have been exhausted, wherever permitted.
Therefore, candidates should include all colleges, categories and quotas in which they are genuinely willing to take admission.
PPMET 2026 Seat Vacancy
The tentative vacancy position for PPMET 2026 Round 4 will be displayed on October 8, 2026. However, the vacancy position displayed on October 8 should not be treated as the final list of seats that can become available during the complete counselling process.
Additional vacancies may arise during choice filling and seat allotment because of shifting, upgradation and surrender of previously allotted seats. This makes the PPMET 2026 Round 4 seat vacancy particularly important for candidates who are looking for another college or an upgrade.
PPMET 2026 4th Round Seat Allotment
The PPMET 2026 4th Round seat allotment will be processed from October 13 to October 14, 2026. The provisional seat allotment/result will be displayed on October 15, 2026. Seat allotment will be based on:
- Candidate’s merit
- Choices/preferences submitted by the candidate
- Availability of seats
- Applicable reservation policy
- Eligibility conditions
- Government and University rules
In simple terms, BFUHS will follow a merit-cum-choice/preference approach for allotment.
PPMET 2026 Provisional Allotment and Objections
The provisional allotment/result will be displayed on October 15, 2026. Candidates who find any issue with the provisional allotment can submit objections through their login ID.
The last date for submitting objections is 16 October 2026 up to 3:00 PM. If any change is required after considering the objections, the revised allotment will also be displayed on October 16, 2026.
Candidates should therefore check their login and the BFUHS website carefully during the allotment period.
PPMET 2026 4th Round Reporting and Admission
Candidates who receive a seat in the 4th Round will have to report to their respective allotted college from 17 October to 19 October 2026. During reporting, candidates will be required to complete the admission formalities, including:
- Joining the allotted college
- Checking of original documents
- Eligibility verification
- Medical checkup
- Payment of applicable fee through the online payment gateway available through the University
Candidates should not delay reporting because failure to complete the required admission process within the notified period can affect the allotted seat.

Seat Upgradation and Shifting in Round 4
Candidates participating in the PPMET 2026 4th Round counselling may receive an upgraded or shifted seat according to their merit and submitted preferences.
If a candidate gets an upgraded or shifted seat, the seat allotted in an earlier round will become vacant and may be allotted to another eligible candidate. This is one reason why candidates should carefully prepare their preference list.
If a candidate is willing to take admission in a particular college, category or quota, it is advisable to include that option in the preference list even if the seat is not shown as vacant at the time of choice submission, subject to the counselling rules.
Government Quota and Management Quota
The BFUHS notice states that, as per the Punjab Government notification, the tuition fee for Government Quota and Management Quota seats is the same.
Therefore, candidates are advised to consider submitting preferences for both Government Quota and Management Quota seats of the same college if they are willing to accept either option. This can provide candidates with additional possibilities during seat allotment.
Other State Candidates in PPMET Counselling
Candidates belonging to states other than Punjab can also participate as per the eligibility and counselling rules.
However, the notice states that other-state candidates will be considered after eligible Punjab candidates have been exhausted, subject to applicable rules and availability of seats.
Candidates from other states should therefore carefully check their eligibility and the applicable quota before filling choices.
Conversion of Reserved and NRI Seats
BFUHS has also explained the process for unfilled reserved and NRI seats.
After exhausting eligible candidates from the respective reserved category or NRI category, unfilled seats may be considered for conversion into Open Merit within the respective quota, wherever permitted under applicable Government rules and notifications.
This can result in additional seats becoming available during later stages of counselling.
What Candidates Should Do Before Choice Filling?
Candidates should follow these steps before submitting their PPMET Round 4 preferences:
- Check the latest vacancy position.
- Make a list of preferred colleges.
- Decide the preferred category and quota.
- Include colleges where you are genuinely willing to take admission.
- Do not depend only on the initial vacancy list.
- Arrange choices according to your actual preference.
- Review all choices before final submission.
