MP PPT 2026 College Level Counselling (CLC) registration opens on 4th July 2026 and is open to students who could not secure a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 centralised counselling, as well as students who missed the Round 2 registration deadline of 18th June 2026.
The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Madhya Pradesh conducts CLC to fill seats that remain vacant after both centralised rounds. Since 2022, MP PPT no longer involves a written entrance exam — admission to all diploma (polytechnic) programmes in Madhya Pradesh is based entirely on Class 10 board marks. The CLC merit list follows the same Class 10-based ranking used in Round 1 and Round 2.
- CLC registration runs from 4th July to 12th August 2026 at dte.mponline.gov.in.
- Students who missed Round 2 registration can still seek admission through CLC.
- 95% of seats are reserved for Madhya Pradesh domicile students; 5% are open to other states.
- Admission rank is based on Class 10 board marks — no separate MP PPT written exam is conducted.
- A final vacant-seat round is held on 18th August 2026 after CLC closes.
What is MP PPT 2026 CLC?
College Level Counselling (CLC) is the third and final phase of the MP PPT 2026 admission cycle. It fills seats that remain vacant after Round 1 and Round 2 centralised allotments. Unlike the two centralised rounds, which are managed entirely through the DTE MP portal with a common merit list and statewide allotment, CLC is partly decentralised: students register online at dte.mponline.gov.in and then report physically to their chosen polytechnic institutes for document verification and seat confirmation.
It is important to note that MP PPT is no longer an entrance examination. Since 2022, DTE Madhya Pradesh has admitted students purely on the basis of Class 10 board marks. There is no written test, no admit card, and no exam-day schedule. The term MP PPT rank refers to a student’s position in the Class 10-based common merit list, not a score from a separate competitive exam.
Who Can Apply for MP PPT 2026 CLC?
CLC is open to a wider group of students than many assume. The following categories of students are eligible to register for MP PPT 2026 CLC:
- Students who registered in Round 1 or Round 2 but did not receive any seat allotment in either centralised round.
- Students who missed the Round 2 registration deadline of 18th June 2026 entirely and could not participate in centralised counselling.
- Students who were allotted a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 but did not report to the institute within the reporting window, resulting in allotment cancellation.
- Students whose allotment was cancelled due to incomplete or incorrect documents at the time of Round 2 reporting (27th June to 3rd July 2026).
Students who completed admission and reported to an institute in Round 1 or Round 2 are not eligible for CLC. Once a student has reported and confirmed admission in a centralised round, that admission is considered final for the 2026 cycle.
MP PPT 2026 CLC Eligibility Criteria
All students participating in MP PPT 2026 CLC must satisfy the academic and domicile eligibility set by DTE Madhya Pradesh. The table below lists all key eligibility parameters:
| Eligibility Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Qualifying Examination | Class 10 (High School) passed from a board recognised by the Government of India or Government of Madhya Pradesh |
| Minimum Marks in Class 10 | As notified by DTE MP (typically 35% aggregate; no separate MP PPT written score required) |
| Mandatory Subjects | Mathematics and Science must be part of the Class 10 curriculum |
| Admission Basis | Class 10 board marks determine merit rank; higher marks = higher rank = more seat options |
| Domicile — MP Students | Madhya Pradesh domicile certificate required to compete for the 95% domicile-quota seats |
| Domicile — Other States | Eligible only for the 5% open-category seats available across MP polytechnic institutes |
| Reservation | SC, ST, OBC, EWS reservations apply as per Government of Madhya Pradesh policy |
| Age | No upper age limit; minimum age as per DTE MP norms for the 2026 cycle |
| Prior Admission Status | Must not be currently enrolled through Round 1 or Round 2 allotment |
Tie-breaking rule: When two students have identical Class 10 aggregate marks, DTE MP resolves the tie by awarding higher rank to the student with better marks in Mathematics, then Science, and then by date of birth with older students ranked higher.

How to Register for MP PPT 2026 CLC
MP PPT 2026 CLC registration has two parts: an online registration at the DTE MP portal followed by physical reporting at the chosen institute. Both steps are required to secure a seat.
- Visit dte.mponline.gov.in from 4th July 2026 and log in or create an account using your registration credentials.
- Fill in the CLC registration form and select your preferred branch and institute from the available vacancy list.
- Submit the online registration and download the CLC registration acknowledgement slip.
- Identify the physical reporting date for your chosen institute (colleges set their own dates within the 6th July to 12th August 2026 window).
- Visit the institute on the reporting date with all original documents and self-attested photocopies.
- Submit documents for verification by the institute’s admission committee.
- Pay the prescribed admission fee as per the DTE MP-approved fee structure for the college type.
- Collect the allotment confirmation letter and admission receipt from the institute.
Seat allocation follows Class 10 merit rank order within each category. Students who register early and have a stronger Class 10 merit rank have a better chance of securing their preferred branch. After CLC closes on 12th August 2026, any seats still vacant are filled in the final vacant-seat round on 18th August 2026.

Ans. Yes, but with limited options. 95% of seats in MP polytechnic institutes are reserved for Madhya Pradesh domicile students. Students from other states can apply only for the remaining 5% of seats. Competition for those open seats is high, and a strong Class 10 merit rank is important.
