MP Domicile Certificate and Format-6 Requirement
Students seeking admission under the Madhya Pradesh state quota must submit a Local Residence Certificate in Format-6 issued by a Naib Tehsildar or Tehsildar. This certificate establishes MP domicile and is mandatory for state-quota seat eligibility. Two categories of students are exempt from this requirement:
- The certificate must be issued by a Naib Tehsildar or Tehsildar of the relevant MP district — certificates from other authorities are not valid.
- The certificate must be in the prescribed DTE MP Format-6 proforma — a general domicile certificate in any other format will be rejected.
- Military and defence personnel posted outside MP are exempt from Format-6; they must submit their official posting orders as an alternative proof of domicile eligibility.
- J&K Migrant students are also exempt from Format-6 and must instead submit Format-7 (see the category table below).
- Verify that your Format-6 certificate is current before attending the help center — expired certificates may not be accepted.

Key Rules for Document Verification at MP DTE 2026 Counselling
Follow these rules carefully at the help center to avoid rejection of your allotted seat:
- All certificates must be in the prescribed DTE MP proforma. Certificates issued in any other format — even if genuine and from a competent authority — will not be accepted.
- Carry original documents plus at least one self-attested photocopy of every document — help centers retain photocopies for institutional record.
- TC and MC are the only documents permanently retained by the allotted college; all other originals are returned to you after verification is complete.
- Students who complete online registration but are unable to finish online document verification must visit a designated help center listed on the official DTE MP portal for in-person verification.
- For OBC students whose certificate was issued before April 30, 2022, a Format-10 self-certified Non-Creamy Layer declaration must be submitted alongside the Format-2 certificate.
- Sports weightage is applicable only for gold medals won at national-level competitions — state or district-level medals are not eligible under DTE MP rules.
- PwD students must present both the District Medical Board disability certificate and the eligibility certificate from NCSC Jabalpur — submitting one without the other results in incomplete verification.
- Documents issued in a regional language other than Hindi should be accompanied by a notarised Hindi or English translation.
