Madhya Pradesh's Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has announced the opening of the registration process for MP State combined counselling for NEET UG 2026 (MBBS and BDS courses). All candidates who qualified in NEET UG 2026 and wish to participate in Madhya Pradesh's counselling must register during the specified window. Registration will open on 05 August 2026 and close on 13 August 2026 at 11:59 PM. The entire process, including registration and counselling, will be conducted on the official MPOnline portal. This is a critical step — missing the registration deadline will exclude you from the state's counselling process entirely.
Register for MP State combined counselling between 05.08.2026 and 13.08.2026 (11:59 PM) on https://dme.mponline.gov.in — missing this window means you cannot participate in MP's MBBS/BDS counselling.
What is MP State Combined Counselling?
MP State combined counselling is Madhya Pradesh's official process for allocating MBBS and BDS seats in government and private medical colleges across the state to NEET UG qualified candidates. This is the state's primary counselling mechanism — if you want to study medicine or dentistry in Madhya Pradesh, you must go through this process.
The counselling is conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh, and all activities — registration, choice filling, allotment, and reporting — happen on a single online portal: MPOnline (https://dme.mponline.gov.in). This is the only official channel; do not use any other website or agent.

Mark these dates clearly in your calendar and set reminders. The deadline is strict: 13 August 2026 at 11:59 PM. If you attempt to register after 11:59 PM on 13 August, the portal will not accept your application.

This is the official, government-run platform managed by the Directorate of Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. Do not register on any other website, and do not trust any third-party agent or website claiming to offer MP counselling registration.
Before the registration window opens on 05 August, visit the portal to familiarize yourself with its layout. Check your internet connection, ensure your browser is up to date, and have all required documents ready. On the day you register, use a stable internet connection and avoid registering in the last few hours to prevent technical issues.
- Official portal: https://dme.mponline.gov.in
- Managed by: Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh
- No other website or agent is authorized
- Registration is online only — no offline or manual registration
What You Need Before You Register
Before you begin registration on 05 August, gather all the documents and information you will need. The notice does not specify the exact documents required for registration, but based on standard NEET counselling practice, you should have your NEET admit card, NEET result/scorecard, and personal identification ready. Check the MPOnline portal's help section or the DME website (www.medicaleducation.mp.gov.in) for a detailed document checklist closer to the registration date.
Have your NEET roll number, date of birth, and contact details (email and mobile phone) readily available. Ensure your email address and phone number are active and accessible — the portal will use these for all future communications, including allotment results and reporting instructions.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card
- NEET UG 2026 result/scorecard
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport)
- Email address (active and accessible)
- Mobile phone number (active and accessible)
- NEET roll number and date of birth
Step-by-Step Registration Process
While the notice does not provide detailed step-by-step instructions, the registration process on MPOnline typically involves creating an account, entering your NEET details, uploading required documents, and confirming your registration. The exact steps will be displayed on the portal when you log in.
On 05 August 2026, visit https://dme.mponline.gov.in and look for the registration link for NEET UG 2026 counselling. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully. Do not skip any field or upload the wrong document — incomplete or incorrect registrations may be rejected. After you submit, you will receive a confirmation message with a registration number. Save this number; you will need it for all future steps.
- Visit https://dme.mponline.gov.in on or after 05 August 2026
- Click on the NEET UG 2026 counselling registration link
- Create an account or log in with your credentials
- Enter your NEET details (roll number, score, etc.)
- Upload all required documents as instructed
- Review all information carefully before submitting

Common Registration Mistakes to Avoid
Many candidates lose their seats or face delays because of preventable registration errors. The most common mistake is entering incorrect NEET details — if your NEET roll number or score does not match the official NEET result, your registration will be rejected or flagged for verification. Double-check every number before you submit.
Another critical error is uploading the wrong document or a document that does not meet the portal's requirements (wrong file format, poor image quality, or expired ID). Read the portal's document guidelines carefully. Do not wait until the last day to register — if you encounter a technical issue on 13 August at 11:50 PM, there is no time to fix it. Register at least 2–3 days before the deadline.
- ⚠️ Entering incorrect NEET roll number or score — verify against your official NEET scorecard
- ⚠️ Uploading wrong document type or poor-quality images — read portal guidelines first
- ⚠️ Using an inactive or incorrect email/phone number — you will miss allotment notifications
- ⚠️ Registering on the last day — technical issues may prevent submission
- ⚠️ Registering on an unauthorized website — use only https://dme.mponline.gov.in
- ⚠️ Leaving any required field blank — the portal will reject incomplete forms
What Happens After Registration Closes?
Once the registration window closes on 13 August 2026 at 11:59 PM, the DME will verify all registrations and prepare for the next stage of counselling. The notice does not specify the exact timeline for choice filling or allotment, but you should expect further instructions and dates to be announced on the MPOnline portal and the DME website shortly after registration closes.
Keep checking the portal and the DME website (www.medicaleducation.mp.gov.in) regularly for updates. The DME will announce the schedule for choice filling (where you rank colleges and courses in order of preference), allotment rounds, and reporting dates. Missing any of these deadlines will result in loss of your seat.
- Registration closes: 13 August 2026, 11:59 PM
- Next stage: Choice filling (date to be announced)
- Then: Allotment round(s) (date to be announced)
- Finally: Reporting and admission (date to be announced)
- Check portal and DME website regularly for updates
MBBS vs. BDS: What You Can Apply For
This counselling covers both MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery — 5.5 years) and BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery — 5 years) courses. During choice filling, you will be able to select colleges and courses based on your preference and eligibility. Your NEET score determines which colleges and courses you are eligible for — higher scores typically unlock more options.
If you are interested in only MBBS or only BDS, you can choose to fill choices for only that course. However, if you are open to either, filling choices for both may increase your chances of getting a seat. The exact process for selecting courses will be explained on the portal during the choice-filling stage.
- MBBS: 5.5-year course in medicine
- BDS: 5-year course in dentistry
- Both courses are included in this counselling
- You can apply for one or both courses based on your preference
Seat Categories and Quotas
Madhya Pradesh's counselling allocates seats across different categories (General, OBC, SC, ST) and quotas (state domicile, all-India, management quota, etc.). The exact seat matrix — the number of seats available in each college, course, category, and quota — will be published on the MPOnline portal before or during the choice-filling stage. Your eligibility for specific seats depends on your NEET score, category, and domicile status.
If you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, ST), ensure you have a valid category certificate issued by the competent authority. The certificate must be in the prescribed format and issued on or after the date specified by the state (usually within the last 5 years). An invalid or expired category certificate will result in rejection of your claim for reserved seats.
- Seat categories: General, OBC, SC, ST
- Quotas: State domicile, all-India, management, etc.
- Seat matrix to be published on MPOnline portal
- Reserved category candidates must have valid category certificate
- Category certificate must be issued by competent authority and within validity period
