Stray Vacancy Round admission (selected as per attendance-cum-merit)25 Oct 2026, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Which rank is called whenSee the time-slot table below (rules of 22 October). Its first slot opens at 9:45 AM, so reach your college before your slot and follow the time your college tells you
BringOriginal documents; the rural service bond and seat-leaving bond, or a legal affidavit that you will deposit both within 2 days of admission

What this means for your child

The window is a single day. Mark your attendance at the college, wait for your slot, and have originals and the bond affidavit ready; a candidate who is absent in the slot forfeits the claim, and the college may then call the next rank. We do not hold the seat position at each college, so ask the college helpdesk or check the DME MP portal for the live vacancy.

The 25 October window is as listed for the stray round admission on the counselling schedule; the slot table and rules are in the DME Instructions of 22 October, which remain the rule for who is called and when. Seats in Madhya Pradesh are allotted only through DME counselling on NEET UG merit; pay only to the college or the portal against a receipt.

What this means for your child

The table shows which merit ranks are called in each slot at a college, for the number of vacant seats at that college. The ratio of candidates called to vacant seats is strictly 1:10. Rules in the notice: each college informs the DME office about absent or unwilling candidates at the end of each slot, before it admits a candidate of lower merit; a student who is not physically present with essential documents in original forfeits the claim; if seats remain vacant after 6 PM the college informs the DME office. Bonds: if the rural service bond and seat leaving bond are not available, provisional admission can be given on a legal affidavit that the candidate will deposit both within 2 days of admission, so keep the affidavit ready. We do not hold the stray round date for each college; follow the DME MP portal.

A vacancy list is not an offer of admission. These seats are filled only through the DME MP stray round, on your merit and your choices; no college can give you one outside it. Add only colleges you would join, and read the stray round rules on the DME MP portal, including fees and the security deposit, before you lock choices.

Security deposit before choice fillingEvery candidate who takes part in the MOP-UP round must first deposit Rs 2 lakh (Rs 10 lakh for NRI) online. The advisory also explains how the amount is adjusted for already-admitted candidates who opted for upgradation.
Upgraded from a Round 1 or Round 2 seatFresh admission at the newly allotted institution is compulsory. If you are upgraded to a new subject or category in the same institution, you must complete the admission process again there too.
Allotted in MOP-UP but did not take admissionThe Rs 2 lakh / Rs 10 lakh deposit is forfeited and you are not eligible for the next round.
Resigning after MOP-UP startsA seat-leaving bond applies.

What this means for your child

Check your name on the revised merit list and eligible list, arrange the security amount before 4 October, and lock choices by 7 October, 11:59 PM. Fill only colleges you will really join, because not joining a MOP-UP seat costs the full deposit and ends your chances in later rounds. Seats come only through this official counselling.

The short answer. Stray Vacancy Round admission for candidates selected as per attendance-cum-merit runs on 25 October 2026, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Admission goes by time slot and merit rank at each college (1:10 ratio, no candidate of lower merit); a student who is not present with original documents in their slot loses the claim to that seat.

Earlier updates on this page (click to open)

Update, 21 September 2026 — MOP-UP Round schedule out. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, has issued the Tentative Time Schedule for the MOP-UP Round of MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS): fresh registration by NEET UG 2026 qualified eligible candidates not already registered runs 28 September to 2 October (up to 11:59 PM); the revised state merit list of registered candidates and publication of vacancy for the MOP-UP round both fall on 3 October; fresh choice filling and choice locking — mandatory for participating candidates — runs 4 to 7 October (up to 11:59 PM); the MOP-UP Round Allotment Result is due 10 October 2026; and reporting at the allotted Medical/Dental college in person, for document verification and admission, runs 11 to 14 October 2026 (up to 6:00 PM). Per rule 15(1)(ज), a seat-leaving bond applies to any candidate who resigns after the MOP-UP round commences.

The short version. Round 1 of MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS) ran registration 5–13 August, the allotment result 24 August, and reporting/resignation/upgradation through 3 September 2026. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, has now issued the Second Round schedule, dated 3 September 2026: fresh online registration for new candidates, plus an edit facility for already-registered candidates (except those admitted in Round 1), runs 5–6 September; physical and virtual vacancy publishes 7 September, alongside the revised merit list; fresh choice filling and locking for Second Round — compulsory for every candidate who wants to participate, including Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for upgradation — runs 7–9 September; the Second Round allotment result is due 11 September; and reporting at the allotted college, the MOP-UP-round upgradation option, and online resignation/cancellation all run 12–18 September 2026. This round is for the state quota; the 15% All India Quota is handled separately by MCC. Update, 12 September: a counselling update confirms that window is now live — reporting to 6 PM, mop-up upgradation to 11:59 PM, resignation to 5 PM, all through 18 September — filling in clock times for a window this page already expected, though that specific update is a secondary source not yet matched to its own dated notice.

Update, 19–20 September (counselling update, no notice number located): A further counselling update states Round 2 Reporting closed 19 September 2026, 6:00 PM — a day later than the 18 September closing date given in the 3 September notice. This has not been matched to an official notice; confirm directly at dme.mponline.gov.in.

MOP-UP Round Counselling,

Breaking · Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, notice dated 21 September 2026

Round 2 reporting closed 18 September 2026; the MOP-UP Round schedule is out. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the “Tentative Time Schedule (MOP UP Round) — MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS Course)-2026” on 21 September 2026. Fresh registration by NEET UG 2026 qualified eligible candidates opens 28 September and closes 2 October 2026, up to 11:59 PM — candidates who are already registered are not required to register again. The Revised State Merit List of registered candidates and the publication of vacancy for the MOP-UP round both fall on 3 October 2026. Fresh choice filling and choice locking then runs 4 to 7 October, up to 11:59 PM — the notice states this is mandatory for every candidate participating in the MOP-UP Round. The MOP-UP Round Allotment Result is due 10 October 2026.

Reporting at the allotted Medical/Dental college in person, for document verification and admission, then runs 11 to 14 October, up to 6:00 PM.

Update · 21 September 2026 · Second Round Resignation Window Reopened & Extended

A separate notice, also dated 21 September 2026, reopens and extends the Second Round resignation window. The Office of the Commissioner, Lok Swasthya Evam Chikitsa Shiksha (Public Health & Medical Education), 6th Floor, Satpura Bhawan, Bhopal, issued a “Notice Regarding Extension of Resignation (Second Round) — MP State Combined Counselling NEET UG 2026-27,” stating: considering the new time schedule declared by MCC, the resignation window for Second Round State counselling will remain open from 22 September 2026 to 1 October 2026 (6:00 PM). This supersedes the earlier 12–18 September resignation window described above, which the page previously treated as closed — it is not closed; resignation is open again from 22 September. Admitted candidates willing to resign must report in person to their respective college of admission for online resignation. As per rules, the same penalty applies as before: ₹2 lakh for a non-NRI candidate and ₹10 lakh for an NRI candidate, and such a candidate will not be eligible for subsequent rounds of State UG counselling — including the MOP-UP Round described above. Signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh, dated 21.9.26.

Update · 24 September 2026 · Willingness for Upgradation Link Also Reopened

A further, separate notice reopens the Willingness for Upgradation link — a different step from the resignation window above, now running on its own, slightly different schedule. The Office of the Commissioner, Lok Swasthya Evam Chikitsa Shiksha (Public Health & Medical Education), 6th Floor, Satpura Bhawan, Bhopal, issued a “Notice Regarding Reopening of Willingness for Upgradation Link — MP State Combined Counselling NEET UG 2026-27,” dated 24 September 2026, stating: the Willingness for Upgradation link will remain active from 24 September 2026 to 1 October 2026 (4:00 PM). Note the two windows now running in parallel are not identical: the Second Round resignation window (above) runs 22 September to 1 October, 6:00 PM, while this upgradation-willingness link runs 24 September to 1 October, 4:00 PM — a two-hour-earlier cut-off on the same closing date. Signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh, dated 24.9.26.

Second Round Schedule Out · 3 September 2026

Second Round Counselling,
Registration to Reporting

Breaking · Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, notice dated 3 September 2026

Round 1 admission is complete; the Second Round schedule is out. With Round 1 reporting, resignation and the upgradation option having closed 3 September 2026, the Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the Second Round MBBS & BDS Counselling schedule the same day. Fresh online registration for new candidates, plus an edit facility for candidates already registered (except those admitted through Round 1), opens 5 September and closes 6 September 2026 at 11:59 PM. The physical and virtual vacancy position, alongside the Revised Merit List and Eligible Candidates list for Second Round, publishes 7 September. Fresh choice filling and choice locking for Second Round then runs 7 to 9 September, up to 11:59 PM — and the notice is explicit that this step is compulsory for every candidate who wants to participate in the Second Round, including Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for up-gradation. The Second Round Allotment Result is due 11 September 2026.

Reporting at the allotted Medical/Dental college in person, for document verification and admission, then runs 12 to 18 September, up to 6:00 PM. The same 12–18 September window covers two more compulsory steps: willingness for upgradation for the MOP-UP round (for admitted Second Round candidates, and Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for upgradation but could not upgrade in Round 2), up to 11:59 PM; and online resignation/cancellation of admission at college level, up to 5:00 PM.

8Online resignation/cancellation of admission at college level12–18 September 2026, up to 5:00 PM

Read the notice's own notes carefully — two of them carry real financial and eligibility consequences. Exercising the upgradation option (Yes/No) is mandatory for every candidate at the time of admission at college level; you can still edit that choice at your candidate login until 18 September 2026, up to 11:59 PM. If you opted for upgradation in the Second Round but then fail to lock your fresh choices, you remain admitted at your Round 1 college and lose eligibility to opt for upgrade in the MOP-UP round. And resigning between 12 and 18 September 2026 costs ₹2 lakh for non-NRI candidates and ₹10 lakh for NRI candidates — and a candidate who resigns in this window is not eligible for any subsequent round of counselling.

On our sourcing. This section is drawn directly from the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal's own Second Round tentative time schedule, dated 3 September 2026, signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. A 12 September 2026 counselling update, WhatsApp-style with no accompanying notice number or image, confirms the reporting/upgradation/resignation window is running with the clock times given below; it fills in a window this notice already flagged for 12–18 September rather than announcing anything new, but as an unofficial counselling update it has not yet been matched to a dated official notice. Confirm your own status on dme.mponline.gov.in before acting on any date here.

Update, 12 September 2026 · Text Update, Unofficial Source

Round 2 reporting, mop-up upgradation and resignation are all confirmed running today. A counselling update received 12 September 2026 — no image, no dated notice number attached — states three windows, all 12 to 18 September 2026: Round 2 reporting, starting today and closing 18 September up to 6:00 PM; upgradation for the MOP-UP round, starting today and closing 18 September up to 11:59 PM; and Round 2 resignation, starting today and closing 18 September up to 5:00 PM. None of this is a surprise — the 3 September notice already put reporting, MOP-UP upgradation and resignation in this same 12–18 September block, and an 11 September allotment result leading into 12 September reporting is exactly what that notice's own timeline implied. What this update adds is the confirmation that it has, in fact, started on schedule, plus the individual cut-off times reproduced above. Because the update itself carries no notice number, date-stamped letterhead or image, treat it as a counselling-update confirmation of an already-known window, not as a standalone official source — verify your own candidate status and these exact cut-off times on dme.mponline.gov.in.

Round 1 · Complete · Official Tentative Schedule

First Round, MBBS & BDS —
All Ten Steps

Steps 1–6 as printed in the Commissioner's original notice, dated 3 August 2026; steps 7–10 as revised by a further notice dated 20 August 2026. Step 7, the Round 1 result, was released as scheduled on 24 August 2026; steps 8–10 — reporting, resignation and upgradation — are open now, through 3 September. The Commissioner's office calls this “tentative,” so always confirm your own candidate status directly on the portal.

The Round 1 result is out and reporting is open. The allotment result was released as scheduled on 24 August 2026, and the reporting/resignation/upgradation window is now running. Do not skip step 10. The notice is explicit: every candidate must exercise the upgradation option, Yes or No, at the time of admission at the college. Your admission slip is only generated after you do this — not before. You can still change your answer through your own candidate login until 3 September, 11:55 PM (was 27 August), but arriving at the college counter without having thought about Yes or No stalls your own paperwork, not the college's.

Read the Fine Print

This Round Is for
MP Domicile Candidates

Look closely at step 6. Registration in step 1 is open to any eligible, qualified NEET UG 2026 candidate. But choice filling and locking — the step that actually decides which college you get — is explicitly restricted to “MP Domicile registered candidates.” That single line tells you what this schedule is really for.

It matches how Madhya Pradesh counselling works overall. The Directorate of Medical Education runs the state quota — roughly 85% of seats in government medical and dental colleges — strictly for MP domicile holders, and it also handles the state-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in the state's private colleges through the same dme.mponline.gov.in portal. The remaining 15% of government college seats are the All India Quota, counselled separately by MCC, open to any candidate regardless of home state.

The honest read for a Northeast India family. If you do not hold Madhya Pradesh domicile, this Round 1 timeline is useful background, not your own action list. Register for MCC's 15% All India Quota in parallel — MCC Round 1 dates → — and if a specific MP private college's management or NRI quota interests you, confirm its exact eligibility with that college directly before assuming it is open to you.

Notice for GS Quota Candidates, 6 August 2026

GS Quota Has Its Own
Document Trail — Get It Right at Verification

A separate notice from the Office of the Commissioner, Public Health and Medical Education, Bhopal, dated 6 August 2026, spells out exactly what a GS (Government School) Quota candidate has to produce at Original Document Verification, once a seat is actually allotted. It is narrow, specific, and easy to get wrong if you only find out about it after your allotment letter arrives.

If you studied in a Madhya Pradesh Government school the whole way through — Class 6 to Class 12. At verification, you must submit certificates for every one of those classes, Class 6 through Class 12, issued by the authorised officer in the prescribed Proforma-10 format, together with your original mark sheets for each class. If a mark sheet for any one class genuinely isn't available, the notice allows a substitute: a certificate from the Principal of that Government school confirming you studied there in that class.

If you studied in a private school under the Right to Education Act, Class 1 to Class 8. You need two separate things, not one. First, a certificate from the private school's Principal proving your admission and study there was under the RTE Act. Second, for Class 9 through Class 12 — presumably back in a Government school — the same Proforma-10 certificates and original mark sheets required of any GS Quota candidate, issued by the authorised officer.

Neither path is something you assemble in a weekend once your allotment letter is in hand. Proforma-10 certificates come from an authorised officer, not your school directly, and a missing mark sheet substitute still needs the Principal's own certificate. If GS Quota is your route into this counselling, start gathering these now, not after Round 1 results.

Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. “Tentative Time Schedule, MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS Course)-2026, First Round MBBS & BDS Course.” Dated 03-08-2026, signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. A further revision dated 20 August 2026 moved the Round 1 result to 24 August and the reporting/resignation/upgradation window to 25 August–3 September; multiple education-news outlets tracking the dme.mponline.gov.in portal reported the Round 1 result was in fact released on 24 August 2026 as revised. A separate notice, “Tentative Time Schedule … Second Round MBBS & BDS Course,” dated 03-09-2026 and signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh, sets out the Second Round in full: fresh registration/edit facility 5–6 September, vacancy and revised merit list 7 September, choice filling/locking 7–9 September, allotment result 11 September, and reporting, MOP-UP upgradation option and resignation all 12–18 September 2026, with resignation in that window carrying a ₹2 lakh (non-NRI) or ₹10 lakh (NRI) penalty and forfeiture of later rounds. A counselling update received 12 September 2026, carrying no notice number, letterhead image or other date-stamped document, states that Round 2 reporting (to 6 PM), MOP-UP-round upgradation (to 11:59 PM) and Round 2 resignation (to 5 PM) are each running 12–18 September 2026 — consistent with, and simply confirming the clock times inside, the 12–18 September window the 3 September notice already announced; we have not been able to match this update to its own dated official notice, so we treat it as a secondary, unofficial confirmation rather than a source in its own right. A further same-day update claim, that Round 2 Reporting closed 19 September 2026, 6:00 PM, has no notice number located. Most recently, the Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the “Tentative Time Schedule (MOP UP Round) — MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS Course)-2026,” dated 21 September 2026 and signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh: fresh registration for candidates not already registered runs 28 September–2 October, the revised state merit list and publication of vacancy for the MOP-UP round both fall on 3 October, choice filling and locking runs 4–7 October, the MOP-UP Round Allotment Result is due 10 October, and reporting at the allotted college runs 11–14 October 2026, with a seat-leaving bond under rule 15(1)(ज) applying to candidates who resign after this round commences.

Has Madhya Pradesh's Second Round resignation window been extended?
+

Yes. A notice from the Office of the Commissioner, Lok Swasthya Evam Chikitsa Shiksha (Public Health and Medical Education), Bhopal, dated 21 September 2026, states that considering the new time schedule declared by MCC, the resignation window for Second Round State counselling will remain open from 22 September 2026 to 1 October 2026, up to 6:00 PM. This reopens and extends the window beyond the 12-18 September dates given in the original Second Round notice. Admitted candidates willing to resign must report in person to their respective college of admission for online resignation. The penalty is unchanged: Rs 2 lakh for a non-NRI candidate and Rs 10 lakh for an NRI candidate, and a candidate who resigns is not eligible for subsequent rounds of State UG counselling, including the MOP-UP Round.

What is Madhya Pradesh's MOP-UP round schedule for NEET UG 2026?
+

The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the Tentative Time Schedule for the MOP-UP Round of MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS Course)-2026 on 21 September 2026. Fresh registration by NEET UG 2026 qualified eligible candidates who are not already registered runs 28 September to 2 October 2026, up to 11:59 PM. The Revised State Merit List of registered candidates and the publication of vacancy for the MOP-UP round both fall on 3 October 2026. Fresh choice filling and choice locking, mandatory for every candidate participating in the MOP-UP Round, runs 4 to 7 October 2026, up to 11:59 PM. The MOP-UP Round Allotment Result is due 10 October 2026, and reporting at the allotted Medical/Dental college in person, for document verification and admission, runs 11 to 14 October 2026, up to 6:00 PM. Per rule 15(1)(ज), a seat-leaving bond applies to candidates who resign after the MOP-UP round commences.

What can I do during Madhya Pradesh's Round 2 reporting window (12-18 September)?
+

Three things run in parallel in this window, per the 3 September DME Bhopal notice, with the exact clock times confirmed by a counselling update dated 12 September 2026: physical reporting at your allotted college for document verification and admission, open 12–18 September up to 6:00 PM; the compulsory willingness-for-upgradation option for the MOP-UP round, open the same 12–18 September dates up to 11:59 PM; and online resignation/cancellation of admission at college level, open 12–18 September up to 5:00 PM — resigning here still costs Rs 2 lakh (non-NRI) or Rs 10 lakh (NRI) and forfeits later rounds. The overall 12–18 September window itself is not new — it was already on this page from the 3 September notice — but the update is a counselling update not yet matched to its own dated official notice, so confirm your own status on dme.mponline.gov.in before acting on any of these three end-times. Update, 21 September: resignation is not closed. A further notice, dated 21 September 2026, reopens and extends the Second Round resignation window to 22 September–1 October 2026, up to 6:00 PM, at the same penalty.

What is the Madhya Pradesh Second Round NEET UG counselling schedule for 2026?
+

The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the Second Round schedule on 3 September 2026, right after Round 1 admission closed the same day. Fresh online registration for new candidates, with an edit facility for already-registered candidates except those admitted in Round 1, runs 5\u201306 September. Physical and virtual vacancy, plus the Revised Merit List and Eligible Candidates list for Second Round, publish 7 September. Fresh choice filling and choice locking for Second Round \u2014 compulsory for every candidate who wants to participate, including Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for up-gradation \u2014 runs 7\u20139 September. The Second Round Allotment Result is due 11 September 2026. Reporting at the allotted college for document verification and admission, the MOP-UP-round upgradation option, and online resignation/cancellation all run 12\u201318 September 2026. A candidate who resigns in that window pays a penalty of Rs 2 lakh (non-NRI) or Rs 10 lakh (NRI) and is not eligible for any subsequent round.

What is the MP state combined NEET UG counselling 2026 schedule?
+

The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued a tentative Round 1 timetable on 3 August 2026, then revised it on 20 August 2026. Online registration ran 5 to 13 August, the state merit list published 14 August, and choice filling and locking by MP domicile candidates ran 15 to 18 August — none of that changed. What changed: the Round 1 allotment result, originally due 20 August, moved to 24 August 2026 and was released on that date as scheduled. Reporting, resignation and the upgradation option, originally 21 to 27 August, are now open, running 25 August to 3 September 2026.

What changed in MP's revised Round 1 schedule, dated 20 August?
+

The Round 1 allotment result moved from 20 to 24 August 2026 — four days later — and was released on that date as revised. The reporting, online resignation/cancellation, and compulsory upgradation-option window, previously a single 21–27 August block, now runs 25 August to 3 September 2026, nearly ten days instead of seven, and is currently open. Registration, the merit list and choice filling and locking, all completed before 19 August, were not touched by this revision. The notice does not give a reason for the delay.

Where do I register for MP NEET UG counselling 2026?
+

At dme.mponline.gov.in, the official portal of the Directorate of Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. Registration for eligible, qualified NEET UG 2026 candidates opened on 5 August and closes on 13 August 2026, up to 11:59 PM. This is the only channel the Commissioner's notice names — no other website or agent can register you.

What is the mandatory upgradation option at admission, and why does it matter?
+

When you report to your allotted college between 25 August and 3 September 2026 (revised from 21–27 August, and now open following the 24 August result), you must actively choose Yes or No on upgradation to Round 2 — the notice states this is compulsory for every candidate. Your admission slip will not even generate until you exercise that option. You can still edit your choice through your candidate login until 3 September, 11:55 PM, but skipping the step entirely stalls your own admission paperwork at the college counter.

Is Round 1 choice filling open to candidates from outside Madhya Pradesh?
+

The notice specifically labels the choice-filling and locking step as being for “MP Domicile registered candidates,” which matches how Madhya Pradesh counselling works generally: the state runs 85% of government-college seats as a state quota restricted to MP domicile holders, plus the state-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in private colleges through the same DME process. The remaining 15% of government-college seats are the All India Quota, filled separately by MCC with no domicile requirement at all.

Can a Northeast India student get an MP medical seat this year?
+

Not through the state-quota round this schedule describes — that is reserved for MP domicile holders. Two doors stay open regardless of home state: the 15% All India Quota through MCC, and, in some cases, private-college management or NRI quota seats, which you should confirm college by college rather than assume. If your NEET UG 2026 score is strong, register for MCC in parallel and treat this DME timeline as background information rather than your own action list, unless you hold MP domicile.

What documents does a GS Quota candidate need at seat verification in Madhya Pradesh?
+

Per a notice from the Commissioner, Public Health and Medical Education, Bhopal, dated 6 August 2026: candidates who studied at a Madhya Pradesh Government school throughout Class 6 to Class 12 must submit Proforma-10 certificates for each of those classes, issued by an authorised officer, along with original mark sheets — a missing mark sheet can be substituted with a certificate from that school's Principal. Candidates who studied in a private school under the Right to Education Act from Class 1 to Class 8 need an RTE certificate from that school's Principal, plus the same Proforma-10 certificates and mark sheets for Class 9 to Class 12.

Registration Closed: 5 – 13 August 2026
