The Directorate of Medical Education in Manipur has released the second round of seat allotments for NEET UG 2026 on September 16, 2026. This round covers admissions to MBBS, BDS, and BASLP programmes across state government, management, and NRI quotas at major medical institutes in the state. If you have received an allotment letter, you now face a critical window to download your provisional letter, make a choice (freeze, float, or reject), and report to your assigned college. Missing these deadlines can result in forfeiture of your seat and security deposit.
Allotted candidates must log in to the DME Manipur portal, download their provisional allotment letter, exercise a choice within the notified deadline, and report to their assigned college with original documents and fees ready.
When and Where to Check Your Manipur NEET UG Round 2 Allotment
The Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Manipur, released Round 2 allotment results on September 16, 2026. All allotted candidates can access their provisional allotment letters through the official DME portal at manipurhealthdirectorate.mn.gov.in.
To view your allotment, visit the portal, click on the NEET UG 2026 counselling link, and log in using your registered application number and password. Your provisional allotment letter will appear on screen, showing your assigned college, course, and quota category. Download and print this letter immediately—you will need it for reporting and verification at your college.
Which Courses and Quotas Are Covered in Round 2
Round 2 allotment in Manipur covers three professional courses: Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), and Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (BASLP). Seats are allocated across three quota categories: State Government quota, Management quota, and NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota.
The two primary medical institutes participating in state quota allotment are the 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 allotted through the same counselling window, so check your provisional letter carefully to confirm which course and college you have been assigned.
Understanding Freeze, Float, and Reject Options
After receiving your allotment, you must make one of three choices within the notified deadline. These options determine whether you accept your seat, remain eligible for upgrades, or exit the current round.
Choosing 'Freeze' means you accept the allotted seat and commit to joining that college. You will not be considered for any further upgrades in subsequent rounds. Choosing 'Float' means you accept your current seat but remain open to a better college or course in later rounds if seats become available. Choosing 'Reject' means you decline the allotment and do not proceed in Round 2. However, if you reject a seat, you cannot claim the same seat again in later rounds, and any refundable security deposit you have paid will be forfeited if you later cancel your admission.
- Freeze: Accept and commit to the allotted seat; no further upgrades possible.
- Float: Accept the seat but remain eligible for upgrades in later rounds.
- Reject: Decline the allotment and exit Round 2; cannot reclaim the same seat later.

What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Deadline
Reporting within the notified window is mandatory. If you fail to report on time, your allotment will be cancelled, and your seat will be offered to the next eligible candidate. You will not be able to claim the same seat in later rounds.
Additionally, if you have paid a refundable security deposit and your admission is later cancelled due to non-reporting or your own withdrawal, that deposit will be forfeited. This is why it is critical to plan ahead, arrange your fees, gather documents, and mark the reporting deadline on your calendar.
What to Expect in Round 3 and Mop-Up Rounds
If you do not receive an allotment in Round 2 or if you choose to float and do not upgrade in later rounds, you may be eligible for Round 3 or mop-up (stray) round counselling. The DME Manipur will announce the schedule for these rounds on its official portal.
Keep monitoring the DME Manipur website for announcements about Round 3 registration, allotment dates, and any vacant seat notices. Mop-up rounds typically offer remaining seats to candidates who did not secure a place in earlier rounds. Ensure you remain registered and eligible for these opportunities.
Why Round 2 Matters for Your MBBS or BDS Admission
Round 2 is often the second and final major chance for state quota aspirants in Manipur to secure a seat in a government or management quota medical college. Many candidates who did not receive an allotment in Round 1 get their opportunity in Round 2 as seats are vacated by candidates who reject or float their allotments.
This round is also significant because it covers all three quota categories—state government, management, and NRI—so the pool of available seats is broader. If you have been allotted a seat in Round 2, treat it as a critical milestone. Ensure you do not miss the reporting deadline, as this may be your best or only chance to secure admission to an MBBS or BDS programme in Manipur for this academic year.
