Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences (SMIMS) has released the Second Round Counselling Schedule for MBBS Admission 2026, under the online counselling seat allotment process for Annexure-II, dated September 7, 2026. The notification, issued by the Department of Education, Government of Sikkim, lays out the complete timeline for choice filling, seat allotment, result declaration, fee payment, and physical reporting for Round 2.
SMIMS MBBS Second Round Counselling Schedule
| Activity | Schedule |
| Choice Filling | 9th September 2026 (9:00 AM) to 9th September 2026 (12 midnight) – 1 Day |

Step-by-Step Process for Round 2 Counselling
Step 1: Candidates can fill their choices online from 9th September 2026 (9:00 AM) to 9th September 2026 (midnight).
Step 2: The submitted online forms will be scrutinized by the Counselling Committee, chaired by the Chairperson from the Government of Sikkim, on 11th September 2026.
Step 3: The seat allotment result will be published online on 11th September 2026.
Step 4: Candidates allotted a seat must pay the admission fee between 12th September 2026 and 14th September 2026.
Step 5: Allotted candidates must physically report at the institute by 18th September 2026.
Important Points for Candidates
The official notice carries two key clarifications that candidates must keep in mind:
- Withdrawal of vacant-category seats: Seat allotment in categories with no vacant seat is subject to withdrawal for candidates already allotted a seat in Round 1.
- Provisional allotment: Seat allotment remains provisional and will be confirmed only after the candidate reports physically and their documents are verified at the institute.
Why This Schedule Matters
For MBBS aspirants applying through SMIMS, sticking to this timeline is critical – missing the choice-filling window, the payment deadline, or the physical reporting date can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat. Candidates should:
- Complete choice filling within the single-day window on 9th September
- Check the result immediately after it is published on 11th September
- Ensure fee payment is completed within the 12th–14th September window
- Carry all original documents for verification while reporting physically by 18th September
The notice has been signed by Mrs. Bibhuti Pradhan, Special Secretary-cum-Director, Department of Education, Government of Sikkim.
