What this means for your child
What to do. Do not assume the 10 November deadline stands, and do not travel to report on the strength of the old dates. Watch the DME MP website for the next notice, keep your allotment letter and documents ready, and keep your other options (MCC rounds and other states) open. The notice does not say whether the allotment itself is affected, and we do not know the court’s reasoning; the court’s next order decides it. Seats are allotted only through counselling; no college, consultant or agent can sell or reserve one, and capitation fee is illegal in India. Pay only through the official portal or to the college, against a receipt.

Round 1 Advisory —
Fees, Choice Lock and Upgrade
| Topic | What the advisory says |
|---|---|
| Which seats | All State quota MD/MS seats in Government and private medical colleges, including NRI seats and seats reserved for in-service candidates. The title also covers post-MBBS DNB and PG Diploma. Counselling runs under the MP Medical Education Admission Rules 2018 as amended (the advisory lists amendments up to 30 September 2026). |
| Portal and OTP | Registration and online counselling are on dme.mponline.gov.in. Every OTP and e-mail goes to the first registered mobile number and e-mail in the NEET PG database. Do not share your login ID or password with anyone. |
| Registration fee | ₹1,100, paid online and not refundable. You are registered only after you pay, and the registration slip comes only after payment. There is no change to the entries after the registration window. |
| Refund bank details | Enter the account number, IFSC, bank, branch, account holder name and mobile number at profile creation, because any refund goes to that account. |
| Choice filling and lock fee | Choice filling and locking are compulsory in every round. Before your first lock you pay a ₹100 portal fee online; then you can lock and download the paid receipt of locked choices. Editing and re-filling later costs nothing. Choices locked before an edit still count if you do not lock again. |
| How fees are paid | Online by net banking, credit or debit card, or RTGS/NEFT: the advance amount at registration and before new choices in Round 2 and the mop-up round, and the college fee at admission. After the mop-up round, in the stray vacancy round, the college fee can be paid to the college account by any mode except cash. No time extension is given for network, power or technical failure. |
| Who registers again | Registration is before Round 1, and reopens before the mop-up round only for eligible candidates who could not register earlier. If you registered, you do not register again. Candidates not admitted in Round 1 who want to correct their registration get one last window before Round 2. |
| MBBS from outside MP | A registered candidate whose MBBS was not from an NMC-recognised college in Madhya Pradesh (a Non-Institutional candidate) can be allotted only 50 percent Non-Institutional seats of private colleges, on merit, in Round 1. In later rounds such candidates can get Institutional seats only if no Institutional MP candidate is available in merit. |
| EWS | Choose EWS at registration. You need an EWS certificate issued by the competent authority of Madhya Pradesh for the financial year 2025-26 (ending 31 March 2026) and must upload it at registration. |
| Upgrade YES or NO | At admission the college asks you to choose YES or NO for upgrading in Round 2. The online admission slip is issued only after you choose; you can edit it in your login until the upgrade deadline. If you joined in Round 1 and want to upgrade in the mop-up round, you must also fill choices in Round 2, with the upgrade option. |
| Bonds if you opt to upgrade | You do not submit the rural service bond or the seat-leaving bond at Round 1 or Round 2 admission. Instead you give a notarised affidavit on ₹500 non-judicial stamp paper, addressed to the head of the institution, that you will submit both bonds in the prescribed format if you are not upgraded. |
| At the college | Go in person with the original documents in Proforma-1 (the list is in Schedule-3 of the 2018 Rules). Report first at the Government nodal officer desk and mark your presence online, then the college admission committee verifies the documents. Take a signed receipt from the head of the institution for the documents you hand over. |

Questions Doctors Ask Us
DME Madhya Pradesh says an interim order of the High Court at Jabalpur dated 2 November 2026 in W.P. No. 44909/2026 (Dr Sarvjeet Singh and another v. State of Madhya Pradesh) requires the ongoing Round 1 admission process to be withheld, with immediate effect, until the High Court gives further direction.
The DME notice of 3 November withholds the admission process, so the earlier 10 November 6 PM reporting and resignation deadline should not be relied on. Wait for a revised notice from DME Madhya Pradesh before reporting or resigning a seat.
A notarised affidavit on Rs 500 stamp paper, in the name of the principal of the college you joined, undertaking that if you are not upgraded you will execute the separate rural service and seat-leaving bonds, stamped at 0.5% of the bond amount (DME MP notice of 2 November 2026).
The DME MP provisional Round 1 list of 29 October 2026 allots 1,110 candidates: 687 MD, 412 MS, 10 post-MBBS PG Diploma and 1 DNB seat, 520 in government and 590 in private colleges. 2,862 of the 3,972 listed candidates were not allotted.
Reporting or resignation runs from 30 October to 6 PM on 10 November 2026. Willingness for upgradation can be given until 11:59 PM on 10 November.
DME MP's advisory of 22 October 2026 puts the registration fee at Rs 1,100, paid online and not refundable. You are treated as registered only after paying it, and you get the registration slip only after payment.
Yes, once. Before the first choice lock you pay a portal fee of Rs 100 online, then lock your choices and download the paid receipt. Editing and re-filling later costs nothing.
In Round 1 such a Non-Institutional candidate can be allotted only the 50 percent Non-Institutional seats of private medical colleges, on merit. In later rounds they can get Institutional seats only if no Institutional MP candidate is available in merit.
At admission you choose YES or NO for upgrading in Round 2, and the admission slip is issued only after you choose. If you want to upgrade after Round 1, you must also fill choices in Round 2. You then give a notarised affidavit on Rs 500 stamp paper instead of the rural service and seat-leaving bonds, and submit the bonds if you are not upgraded.
