MP NEET Counselling 2026 is conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh for MBBS and BDS admissions in government and private medical colleges across the state. The process runs entirely online through the official portal dme.mponline.gov.in and covers 85% state quota seats in government colleges and 100% of seats in private medical colleges. As of May 30, 2026, NEET UG 2026 results are not yet declared — the re-exam is scheduled for June 21, 2026 — and DME MP NEET Counselling 2026 is expected to begin around August 2026 after results are announced.
- NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam: NTA has scheduled the re-exam on June 21, 2026 (Sunday) from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. The original May 3, 2026 exam was cancelled. All 24 lakh+ registered candidates must appear on this date — no fresh registration is required.
- NEET UG 2026 Result: The result is expected in late July 2026. NTA typically takes 4–6 weeks after the exam to declare results. With the re-exam on June 21, the result is expected by end of July 2026 at the earliest.
- DME MP Registration 2026: MP NEET counselling registration is expected to open in August 2026. In 2025, registration opened on July 21. The delayed NEET 2026 re-exam pushes the MP counselling cycle to August or later this year.
- Round 1 Seat Allotment: The first round allotment is expected by September–October 2026. In 2025, Round 1 allotment was released on August 20. Given the shifted NEET timeline this year, the 2026 allotment will follow approximately 4–5 weeks after registration closes.
What is MP NEET Counselling 2026?
MP NEET Counselling 2026 is the state-level online admission process for MBBS and BDS seats in Madhya Pradesh. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh conducts this counselling every year for candidates who qualify NEET UG. It is done fully online through the MPOnline portal at dme.mponline.gov.in.
The counselling covers two types of seats:
- State Quota Seats: 85% of total MBBS and BDS seats in government medical colleges in MP. Only MP domicile candidates can apply for these seats.
- Private College Seats: 100% of MBBS and BDS seats in private and deemed medical colleges in MP. Candidates from all states can apply for private college seats.
Madhya Pradesh has more than 27 medical colleges — both government and private — offering a combined total of over 5,250 MBBS seats. The state is a major hub for medical education in central India, with cities like Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Gwalior home to some of the best-ranked government medical colleges.
The remaining 15% of government college seats go to the All India Quota (AIQ), which is handled by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) through a separate national-level process. If you are an MP domicile candidate, you should register on both portals to maximise your chances.
MP NEET counselling is a merit-cum-preference process. DME MP releases a state merit list based on NEET UG scores. Candidates then fill in their college preferences, and seats are allocated based on rank, category, and availability.
NEET UG 2026: Current Status and Re-Exam Date
The original NEET UG 2026 exam was scheduled for May 3, 2026. However, NTA cancelled the exam after central agency findings and law enforcement reports raised concerns. A re-exam has been officially announced for June 21, 2026 (Sunday) from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM in Pen and Paper (offline) mode.
The re-exam will be held across all examination cities in India and abroad, in 13 languages. All candidates who had registered for NEET UG 2026 must appear for this re-exam. No fresh registration is needed — existing registrations are automatically valid for June 21.
NEET UG 2026 result is expected in late July 2026. MP NEET Counselling 2026 will begin only after the result is declared by NTA at neet.nta.nic.in.
How the Re-Exam Shifts the MP Counselling 2026 Timeline
In 2025, the NEET UG exam was held on May 4, 2025, and DME MP opened counselling registration on July 21, 2025. Because the 2026 re-exam is on June 21 — nearly seven weeks later — all downstream counselling dates will shift forward by approximately the same duration.
| Event | 2025 Actual | 2026 Expected |
|---|---|---|
| NEET UG Exam | May 4, 2025 | June 21, 2026 (Re-Exam) |
| NEET UG Result | ~June 2025 | Expected late July 2026 |
| DME MP Registration Opens | July 21, 2025 | Expected August 2026 |
| Round 1 Seat Allotment | August 20, 2025 | Expected September 2026 |
| Round 2 Seat Allotment | September 22, 2025 | Expected October 2026 |
| Mop-Up Round | October 2025 | Expected October–November 2026 |
| Stray Vacancy Round | November 13, 2025 | Expected November–December 2026 |

- Foreign nationals may participate subject to NMC guidelines and institutional norms.
How to Register for MP NEET Counselling 2026
MP NEET Counselling 2026 registration will be entirely online at dme.mponline.gov.in. The registration window typically stays open for about 8–10 days. Here is the step-by-step process based on previous years.
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Go to dme.mponline.gov.in and click on "MP State Combined UG Counselling 2026." The counselling section will be active only during the registration window. Do not use any third-party portal or agent to register.
Step 2: Create Your Profile
Register with your NEET UG 2026 roll number and date of birth. Set a secure password and complete your profile with personal details — name, address, category, contact number, and email ID. Upload your recent photograph and signature in the specified format and size.
Step 3: Pay Registration Fee
Pay the non-refundable registration fee online through the DME MP portal:
- General and EWS candidates: ₹1,000 (₹970 application fee + ₹30 bank charges)
- SC/ST/OBC/PH candidates: ₹500
Payment modes include net banking, credit/debit card, and MPOnline kiosk. Keep the payment receipt for your records.
Step 4: Upload Documents
Upload all required documents in the specified format and file size. Blurry or incorrect documents can lead to rejection at the time of verification. See the Documents section below for the complete checklist.
Step 5: Submit and Print Confirmation
Review all entered details carefully before final submission. Most details cannot be edited after submission. Print or save the registration confirmation — you will need it during document verification and reporting at your allotted college.
Step 6: Check State Merit List
After the registration window closes, DME MP releases a state merit list based on NEET UG 2026 scores and category. In 2025, the merit list was released just one day after registration closed (July 30, 2025). Only candidates on the state merit list can proceed to choice filling.
DME MP helpline number for queries: 0755-6720204
Always register directly through the official portal dme.mponline.gov.in. Avoid paid agents claiming to register on your behalf — this can lead to fraud and disqualification.
Documents Required for MP NEET Counselling 2026
You must have all documents ready before starting registration. Document verification happens when you report to your allotted college — missing or invalid documents can result in cancellation of your admission. Here is the complete list of documents required for MP NEET Counselling 2026:
| # | Document | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NEET UG 2026 Admit Card | Original and photocopy |
| 2 | NEET UG 2026 Scorecard | Download from neet.nta.nic.in after result |
| 3 | Class 10 Marksheet and Certificate | For date of birth proof |
| 4 | Class 12 Marksheet and Passing Certificate | Original and photocopy |
| 5 | MP Domicile Certificate | Mandatory for state quota government college seats |
| 6 | Caste/Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC) | Issued by competent MP authority; if applicable |
| 7 | EWS Certificate | Must be for financial year 2026–27; if applicable |
| 8 | Photo Identity Proof | Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Passport |
| 9 | Recent Passport-Size Photographs | White background; at least 6 copies |
| 10 | PwD Certificate | From competent medical authority; if applicable |
MP domicile certificates can take 2–4 weeks to process through government channels. If you haven’t applied for yours yet, do so immediately — do not wait until counselling registration opens.
Choice Filling and Seat Allotment Process
Choice filling is the most critical step in MP NEET Counselling 2026. This is where you list your preferred colleges and courses in order of priority. The system uses your NEET rank and your locked choices to assign you the best possible seat.
How Choice Filling Works
- Log in to the DME MP portal and open the Choice Filling section during the designated window — usually 4–5 days.
- You will see a full list of participating government and private medical colleges with the number of available seats by category.
- Arrange colleges in the order you prefer — your top choice at the top. Add as many colleges as possible to maximise your chances of an allotment.
- Once satisfied, click "Lock Choices." After locking, no changes are allowed.
- The system does not change your allotment even if a better option was available but not listed — so add every college you are willing to attend.
How Seat Allotment Works
DME MP’s centralised software runs the allotment after the choice-filling window closes. It considers your NEET rank, category, domicile status, and your locked preferences. You get the best seat from your list that your rank allows.
- If allotted a seat, pay the seat confirmation fee online within the stated deadline — usually 2–3 days.
- After fee payment, report to the allotted college for document verification and admission within the reporting dates.
- If you do not pay or report on time, your seat is cancelled and returned to the pool for the next round.
Upgrade Option in Round 2
In Round 2, candidates who already have a Round 1 seat can opt to upgrade if a higher-preference college becomes available. Choosing to upgrade automatically forfeits your Round 1 seat. If no better option opens up, you retain your Round 1 allotment. Think carefully before opting for an upgrade — it carries the risk of losing your existing seat.
The order you fill your choices directly determines which college you get. Always put the college you most want at the very top of your list. The system does not second-guess your preferences.
MP NEET Counselling Rounds 2026
MP NEET Counselling 2026 will be conducted in four rounds. Each round opens up more seats and gives candidates an additional opportunity to secure or improve their college.
| Round | Purpose | Who Can Apply | Expected Timing (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | First allocation of all available seats | All registered candidates on the state merit list | August–September 2026 |
| Round 2 | Reallocation and upgrades; vacated seats re-enter pool | All candidates; Round 1 allottees can upgrade | September–October 2026 |
| Mop-Up Round | Fill seats remaining after Round 2 | Candidates who did not secure a seat in Rounds 1 or 2 | October–November 2026 |
| Stray Vacancy Round | Fill any final vacant seats | Conducted at college level under DME MP supervision | November–December 2026 |
Round 1
Round 1 is the main round where the largest share of seats are filled. All candidates on the state merit list can register, fill choices, and receive allotment. In 2025, Round 1 registration ran from July 21 to July 29, with allotment released on August 20. This round gives you access to the complete seat matrix — making it the best round to participate in.
Round 2
Round 2 includes both fresh candidates who did not participate in Round 1 and existing Round 1 allottees who want a better college. Seats surrendered by candidates who did not join after Round 1 also come back into the pool, giving Round 2 participants more options than they might expect. In 2025, the Round 2 allotment was released on September 22.
Mop-Up Round
Only candidates who were not allotted any seat in Rounds 1 or 2 are eligible for the Mop-Up round. Candidates holding a confirmed seat cannot participate. The Mop-Up round has fewer seats — usually in less popular colleges or specific categories — but it is the last chance at a government seat for candidates still searching. In 2025, Mop-Up registration closed on October 13 and allotment came out on October 18.
Stray Vacancy Round
Seats that remain vacant even after the Mop-Up round are filled through the Stray Vacancy round, conducted at the college level under DME MP supervision. In 2025, stray vacancy details were released on November 13. This is the final admission round — any seat not filled here stays vacant for that academic year.
Seat Matrix: MBBS and BDS Seats in MP 2026
The MP NEET Counselling 2026 seat matrix covers all MBBS and BDS seats in government and private medical and dental colleges across Madhya Pradesh. DME MP releases the official seat chart at the start of each counselling cycle. Here is the approximate seat distribution based on 2025 data:
| College Type | Number of Colleges (Approx.) | Total MBBS Seats (Approx.) | Quota Handled by DME MP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government Medical Colleges | 15–18 | ~2,450–2,750 | 85% State Quota |
| Private Medical Colleges | ~13 | ~2,500 | 100% (All Quotas) |
| Total MBBS Seats | 27+ | ~5,250+ | — |
BDS (dental) seats in government and private dental colleges in MP are also part of the DME MP seat matrix. The official seat chart released at the start of counselling shows exact seat counts by college, category, and quota.

Government vs Private College Fees
Fee is a major difference between government and private MBBS seats in MP. Government medical colleges in the state charge annual tuition fees of around ₹10,000–₹25,000 for state quota seats. Private medical colleges charge between ₹10 lakh and ₹25 lakh per year. This makes government seats through the state quota extremely competitive.
Distribution Within State Quota
The 85% state quota seats in government colleges are distributed further by category — General/UR, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS — as per MP state reservation policy. Some colleges also have sub-quotas such as the Rural Service Bond quota, which requires candidates to serve in rural MP for a fixed period after completing MBBS. Check college-specific quota rules on the DME MP portal before filling choices.
Top Government Medical Colleges in Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh has some of the best government medical colleges in central India. These colleges offer MBBS at very low annual fees through the state quota — typically ₹10,000–₹25,000 per year. Closing ranks vary widely across colleges, giving candidates with a broad range of NEET scores a realistic shot at a government seat.
| College Name | City | Approx. MBBS Seats | 2025 Closing Rank – UR (Final Round, Reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Medical College | Indore | 250 | ~11,991 |
| Gandhi Medical College | Bhopal | 250 | ~14,000–16,000 |
| Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College (NSCB) | Jabalpur | 250 | ~20,000–25,000 |
| Gajra Raja Medical College (GR Medical) | Gwalior | 250 | ~22,000–28,000 |
| Shyam Shah Medical College | Rewa | 250 | ~30,000–38,000 |
| Bundelkhand Medical College | Sagar | 150 | ~38,000–45,000 |
| Government Medical College | Vidisha | 150 | ~45,000–52,000 |
| Birsa Munda Government Medical College | Shahdol | 150 | ~57,490 |
Closing ranks for 2025 are reference values and will change in 2026 based on NEET score distribution after the June 21 re-exam.
A Note on AIIMS Bhopal
AIIMS Bhopal is the premier medical institution in Madhya Pradesh, consistently ranked among the top 25 medical colleges in India by NIRF. However, AIIMS Bhopal seats are filled through AIQ counselling conducted by MCC — not through DME MP state counselling. If AIIMS Bhopal is your target, register on the MCC portal separately. AIIMS Bhopal typically requires a top 500 NEET rank.
MP NEET Counselling Cutoff 2025: Reference Closing Ranks
The MP NEET Counselling 2026 cutoff will be released by DME MP after each counselling round. As a reference, here are the category-wise closing ranks from the 2025 state quota final round. These help you assess how competitive each college is likely to be for your category in 2026.
Government College Closing Ranks 2025 — State Quota, Final Round
| College | UR (General) | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MGM Medical College, Indore | ~11,991 | ~24,000 | ~53,000 | ~80,000 |
| Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal | ~15,000 | ~29,000 | ~60,000 | ~88,000 |
| NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur | ~23,000 | ~38,000 | ~68,000 | ~98,000 |
| Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior | ~27,000 | ~43,000 | ~72,000 | ~1,02,000 |
| Shyam Shah Medical College, Rewa | ~36,000 | ~52,000 | ~78,000 | ~1,08,000 |
| Birsa Munda Medical College, Shahdol | ~57,490 | ~70,000 | ~88,000 | ~1,12,000 |
OBC, SC, and ST closing ranks are reference estimates based on category-wise seat ratios and 2025 rank data. Confirmed 2026 cutoffs will be released by DME MP after each round of counselling.

What Affects the Cutoff Each Year?
The MP NEET counselling cutoff changes every year. Four main factors drive the variation:
- NEET paper difficulty: A harder re-exam on June 21, 2026 would push scores down and make cutoff ranks for each college more accessible.
- Number of competing candidates: More candidates competing for the same seats tightens top college cutoffs.
- New seats or colleges: If NMC approves new MBBS seats before 2026, the total pool expands and cutoff ranks shift upward.
- Round-wise progression: Cutoffs relax from Round 1 to the Mop-Up round — seats competitive in Round 1 may open up by Round 3 for reserved categories.
State Quota vs All India Quota in MP
If you want a government MBBS seat in Madhya Pradesh, you have two separate pathways: the 85% state quota through DME MP counselling, and the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) through MCC counselling. Understanding the difference is important before you decide where to invest your time and effort.
| Feature | State Quota (85%) | All India Quota (15%) |
|---|---|---|
| Conducted by | DME, Madhya Pradesh | Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) |
| Official Portal | dme.mponline.gov.in | mcc.nic.in |
| Eligible Candidates (Govt. Colleges) | MP domicile only | All India candidates |
| Share of Govt. College Seats | 85% | 15% |
| Private Colleges in MP | 100% of seats (all quotas) | Not included |
| Separate Registration Required | Yes — DME MP portal | Yes — MCC portal |
If you are an MP domicile candidate, you should participate in both counselling processes. Registering on MCC does not affect your DME MP registration — they are entirely independent. You can attend both and then choose the better seat offered.
If you accept a seat through MCC AIQ counselling and complete admission formalities, you may not be eligible to join a DME MP state quota seat for the same academic year. Review the withdrawal and joining rules on both portals carefully before making your final decision.
Reservation Policy in MP NEET Counselling
MP NEET Counselling follows the Madhya Pradesh state government’s reservation policy for the 85% state quota seats. Here is the category-wise seat reservation applicable to government medical colleges in MP:
| Category | Reservation Percentage (State Quota) |
|---|---|
| Unreserved / General (UR) | 40% |
| Other Backward Classes (OBC) | 14% |
| Scheduled Castes (SC) | 16% |
| Scheduled Tribes (ST) | 20% |
| Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) | 10% |
Madhya Pradesh has a 20% reservation for Scheduled Tribes — among the highest ST reservations across Indian states. This reflects the large tribal population in districts like Balaghat, Mandla, Dindori, Shahdol, and Jhabua. Combined with SC (16%) and OBC (14%), reserved categories account for more than 60% of state quota seats.
In addition to vertical reservations, there is a 5% horizontal reservation for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) across all categories. Candidates with benchmark disabilities as defined under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 are eligible for this horizontal reservation.
For private medical colleges in MP, DME MP manages management quota and NRI quota seats. These do not follow the state reservation policy — admission is based on NEET score and institutional norms. Management quota fees are significantly higher than government seats.
Category certificates must be issued by the competent authority of Madhya Pradesh to claim reservation in state quota seats. Certificates from authorities of other states are not accepted for MP state quota.
What You Should Do Right Now
MP NEET Counselling 2026 is expected to open in August 2026 — roughly two months from now. The steps you take in this window before registration opens will determine how smoothly your counselling goes.
1. Prepare for and Appear in the NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam
The most urgent task is to perform well in the NEET UG 2026 re-exam on June 21, 2026. Your score determines your rank in the MP state merit list. In 2025, a UR candidate needed roughly rank 11,991 to secure MGM Indore and rank 57,490 to secure Birsa Munda Shahdol. Every mark you score in the re-exam directly affects which government college you can realistically aim for.
2. Apply for Your MP Domicile Certificate Now
If you do not have an MP domicile certificate, apply at your nearest tehsildar’s office or through the MP e-District portal immediately. Processing takes 2–4 weeks. Without this certificate, you cannot apply for government college state quota seats — and there is no provision to submit it after counselling registration closes.
3. Arrange Category and EWS Certificates
If you belong to SC, ST, OBC, or EWS categories, ensure your certificate is valid and issued by an MP authority. EWS certificates must be specifically for the financial year 2026–27 — certificates from 2025–26 will not be accepted. Apply for a fresh EWS certificate now if yours is for the previous year.
4. Gather and Scan All Documents
Collect all 10 documents listed in the Documents section. Scan them in clear, legible format. Keep both digital copies (for upload) and physical originals and photocopies ready (for college reporting). The reporting window after allotment is usually 5–7 days — having everything in order in advance is essential.
5. Research Colleges and Build Your Choice Priority List
Study the government and private medical colleges in MP. Look up the 2025 seat matrix and closing ranks from the DME MP portal. Based on your expected NEET rank and category, shortlist 15–20 colleges you are genuinely willing to attend. The choice-filling window during counselling is only 4–5 days — having your priority order pre-decided saves you from making rushed decisions under time pressure.
6. Monitor the Official Portal Regularly
Bookmark dme.mponline.gov.in and check it regularly after NEET UG results are declared. All official notifications, registration links, merit lists, seat allotment results, and schedule updates will appear there first. Do not rely on third-party websites or coaching centres for dates — use only the official source.

Ques. How is the state merit list prepared for MP NEET Counselling?
Ans. DME MP prepares the state merit list based on NEET UG 2026 scores of all candidates who register on the portal. Candidates are ranked category-wise. In case of a tie in NEET scores, NTA’s tie-breaking rules apply — higher marks in Biology first, then higher marks in Chemistry, then fewer incorrect answers. Only candidates who appear in the merit list are eligible to proceed to choice filling and seat allotment.
