The Directorate of Medical Education in Manipur has released the results of Round 2 seat allotment for NEET UG 2026 on September 16. This is a critical moment for candidates who received an allotment: you now have a limited window to download your letter, make a choice (freeze, float, or reject), and report to your assigned college. Missing this deadline can cost you your seat. This guide walks you through what happens next and what you need to do immediately.
If you received a Round 2 allotment in Manipur, download your provisional letter now, decide whether to freeze, float, or reject your seat before the deadline, and prepare to report to your college with all original documents and the required fee.
What Manipur Released on September 16
The Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Manipur, published the Round 2 seat allotment results on its official portal (manipurhealthdirectorate.mn.gov.in) on September 16, 2026. This allotment covers admissions to MBBS, BDS, and BASLP (Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology) courses across state government quota, management quota, and NRI quota seats.
Round 2 is typically the second major counselling round in Manipur's admission cycle. It follows Round 1, which was released on August 28, 2026. For many state quota candidates, Round 2 represents a significant opportunity to secure a seat, especially if they did not receive an allotment in Round 1 or if they are waiting to upgrade to a better college.
How to Download Your Provisional Allotment Letter

Once you log in, your Round 2 provisional allotment letter will appear on screen. Download it immediately and print a copy. This letter contains your allotted college, course, quota category, and the reporting deadline. Keep this document safe; you will need it when you report to your college.

Understanding Freeze, Float, and Reject Options
After receiving your allotment, you must exercise one of three choices within the notified deadline. These options determine whether you accept the seat, stay open for upgrades, or decline it entirely.
Choosing 'Freeze' means you accept the allotted seat and commit to joining that college. You will not be considered for any further rounds. This is the safest option if you are satisfied with your allotment. Choosing 'Float' means you accept the current seat but remain eligible for upgrades in later rounds (if any). If a better seat becomes available in a subsequent round, you may be upgraded; otherwise, you retain your current allotment. Choosing 'Reject' means you decline the seat and exit the current round. However, once you reject, you cannot claim the same seat again in later rounds, and any refundable security deposit you may have paid is forfeited if your admission is later cancelled.
- Freeze: Accept the seat and commit to the college; no further upgrades possible
- Float: Accept the seat but remain open for upgrades in later rounds
- Reject: Decline the seat; cannot reclaim it later and forfeit security deposit if admission is cancelled
Which Colleges Are Participating in Manipur Counselling
Manipur's NEET UG counselling covers seats at two major government medical colleges: Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, and Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), Imphal. Both institutions offer MBBS seats under the state government quota. BDS and BASLP seats are also allotted through the same counselling window, so check your provisional letter carefully to confirm which course and college you have been assigned.
If you have been allotted a seat at either RIMS or JNIMS, verify the course (MBBS, BDS, or BASLP) and quota category on your letter. This information is essential for your reporting and admission process.
- Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal — MBBS, BDS, BASLP
- Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), Imphal — MBBS, BDS, BASLP
What You Must Do Before Reporting to College
Once you have downloaded your allotment letter and decided to freeze or float your seat, you must prepare for reporting. The DME will notify a reporting window (deadline) on the portal. You must report within this window; missing it will result in forfeiture of your seat.
Before you go to the college, arrange the tuition fee and any refundable security deposit in advance. Gather all original documents: your NEET scorecard, NEET admit card, class 10 and 12 certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other documents specified by the college. Bring these in person when you report. Do not rely on photocopies for the initial reporting; most colleges require originals for verification.
- Arrange tuition fee and refundable security deposit
- Collect original NEET scorecard and admit card
- Gather class 10 and 12 certificates
- Obtain caste certificate (if applicable) and domicile certificate
- Check the college's document checklist on the DME portal
- Report to the college within the notified deadline

Why Round 2 Matters for Your MBBS or BDS Admission
Round 2 is often the decisive round for state quota candidates in Manipur. If you did not receive a seat in Round 1, Round 2 is your next major chance. Even if you did receive an allotment in Round 1, Round 2 may offer you the opportunity to upgrade to a better college or course if you chose to float in Round 1.
Missing the Round 2 reporting deadline is a costly mistake. Once the deadline passes, your allotted seat is cancelled, and you will have to wait for Round 3 or a mop-up round (if available). These later rounds typically have fewer seats and higher competition. Treat the Round 2 reporting window as non-negotiable.
