MP Mopup Round Cutoffs NEET UG 2026: MBBS/BDS Allotment Ranks & Scores

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh, has released the official Mopup Round allotment opening and closing cutoffs for NEET UG 2026 MBBS and BDS courses. This document, published on 10 October 2026, lists the AI (All India) rank ranges and NEET scores at which each category-wise seat was filled across 150 government and private medical and dental colleges in the state. The Mopup Round is the final round of counselling, designed to fill remaining vacant seats. If your name appears in any allotment list or if you are eligible based on these cutoffs, you must report to your allotted college by the deadline specified by DME.

What is the Mopup Round and why does it matter?

The Mopup Round is the final counselling round in the NEET UG 2026 admission process for Madhya Pradesh. After earlier rounds (Round 1, Round 2, and possibly others), some seats remain vacant due to candidates not reporting, withdrawing, or not being eligible. The Mopup Round fills these leftover seats.

This round is your last chance to secure a seat in an MBBS or BDS college in MP if you have not been allotted one yet, or if you wish to upgrade to a better college or course. Once the Mopup Round concludes, no further counselling rounds are held, and remaining seats may be cancelled or filled through other processes.

The document released today shows the exact rank and score ranges at which seats were filled in this round. If your rank and score fall within the opening and closing range for a particular college, category, and course, you are eligible for that seat.

How to read the cutoff table: Understanding each column

The allotment list is presented as a table with 11 columns. Understanding what each column means is essential to finding your eligibility.

**Institution Code & Type**: A unique code assigned to each college (e.g., 101 = Govt Gandhi Medical College Bhopal). 'GOVT' means government college; 'Private' means private college.

**Institution Name**: The full name of the medical or dental college.

**Course**: Either MBBS (5-year Bachelor of Medicine) or BDS (3-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery).

**Opening AI Rank**: The highest (worst) All India rank at which a seat in this category was filled. If your rank is better than (lower than) this number, you are in the running.

**Closing AI Rank**: The lowest (best) All India rank at which a seat in this category was filled. If your rank is worse than (higher than) this number, you are not eligible.

**Opening NEET AI Score**: The lowest NEET score corresponding to the opening rank.

**Closing NEET AI Score**: The highest NEET score corresponding to the closing rank.

**Allotted Category/Class**: The reserved category for which the seat was filled (e.g., UR/X/OP = Unreserved, General, Open; OBC/X/OP = OBC, General, Open; SC/X/OP = Scheduled Caste, General, Open; ST/X/OP = Scheduled Tribe, General, Open; EWS/X/OP = Economically Weaker Section, General, Open). Special codes like 'PH' = Person with Disability, 'SN' = Sports Quota, 'FF' = Freedom Fighter, 'GS' = Government Servant.

**Total Allotted**: The number of seats filled in this category at this college in the Mopup Round.

**MP Domicile Status**: 'YES' means the seat is reserved for candidates domiciled in Madhya Pradesh; 'NO' means it is open to all-India candidates.

**Need to Report Status**: 'YES' means if you are allotted this seat, you must report to the college immediately. 'NO' is rare and indicates special circumstances.

How to check if you are eligible for a seat

To determine if you are eligible for a seat in the Mopup Round, follow these steps:

1. **Find your NEET UG 2026 All India rank and score.** This is printed on your NEET scorecard.

2. **Identify the college, course (MBBS or BDS), and category you are interested in.** Your category is determined by your caste/tribe certificate (if applicable) and domicile. If you do not have a reserved category certificate, you fall under UR (Unreserved).

3. **Locate the row in the table that matches your college, course, and category.** For example, if you are looking for an MBBS seat at Govt Gandhi Medical College Bhopal in the UR/X/OP category, find the row with those details.

4. **Compare your rank with the Opening and Closing AI Rank columns.** Your rank must be **better than (lower than or equal to) the Opening Rank AND better than (lower than or equal to) the Closing Rank.** In other words, your rank must fall **within the range** from Opening to Closing.

5. **If your rank is within the range, you are eligible.** If it is outside the range (either better than Opening or worse than Closing), you are not eligible for that particular seat.

**Important**: A lower rank number is better. For example, rank 10,000 is better than rank 50,000. If the Opening Rank is 50,000 and the Closing Rank is 100,000, you are eligible if your rank is between 50,000 and 100,000 (inclusive).

Category codes explained: What do UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS mean?

The 'Allotted Category/Class' column uses abbreviations that indicate the reserved category and sub-group of the seat. Understanding these is crucial because you can only be allotted a seat in a category for which you hold a valid certificate.

**UR = Unreserved (General).** Open to all candidates, regardless of caste or tribe. No certificate required.

**OBC = Other Backward Class.** Reserved for candidates with a valid OBC certificate issued by the state or central government. The certificate must be issued on or after the date specified by the counselling authority (usually the date of NEET exam or later).

**SC = Scheduled Caste.** Reserved for candidates with a valid SC certificate.

**ST = Scheduled Tribe.** Reserved for candidates with a valid ST certificate.

**EWS = Economically Weaker Section.** Reserved for candidates from the general category (not SC/ST/OBC) whose annual family income is below a specified threshold (usually ₹8 lakh). An EWS certificate is required.

**The second part of the code (e.g., X, GS, SN, PH, FF)** indicates a sub-category or special quota: X = General (no special quota), GS = Government Servant, SN = Sports Quota, PH = Person with Disability, FF = Freedom Fighter.

**The third part (OP)** stands for 'Open' and indicates that the seat is open to candidates from that category.

**Example**: OBC/X/OP = OBC category, general sub-group, open seat. SC/PH/OP = SC category, Person with Disability sub-group, open seat.

Important: MP Domicile requirement and NRI seats

Most seats in government colleges and many in private colleges are reserved for candidates who are domiciled in Madhya Pradesh. The 'MP Domicile Status' column shows 'YES' for such seats.

**If MP Domicile Status = YES**: You must be a domiciled resident of Madhya Pradesh to be eligible. Domicile is typically proven by a domicile certificate issued by the state government or by residence in MP for a specified period (usually 15 years or more, or as per state rules).

**If MP Domicile Status = NO**: The seat is open to all-India candidates and does not require MP domicile. These are rare and appear mainly in private colleges.

**NRI seats**: Some private colleges have seats reserved for Non-Resident Indians (NRI). These are shown in the 'Allotted Category/Class' column as 'NRI'. NRI seats have their own rank and score ranges and are open only to candidates with NRI status (as defined by the college and counselling authority). NRI seats typically have lower cutoff ranks because they are filled through a separate process and may involve higher fees.

What 'Need to Report Status' means and what you must do

The 'Need to Report Status' column indicates whether you must physically report to the college if you are allotted a seat.

**If Need to Report Status = YES**: You must report to the college in person (or as per the college's instructions) within the deadline set by DME. Reporting typically involves submitting original documents, paying the first semester fee, and completing admission formalities. If you do not report by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled, and it will be offered to the next eligible candidate.

**If Need to Report Status = NO**: This is rare and usually applies to NRI seats or special categories. Even if the status is 'NO', you should contact the college to confirm the reporting procedure.

**The deadline for reporting is not shown in this document.** DME will announce the reporting deadline separately, usually within 2–5 days of the allotment. Check the official DME website (dme.mponline.gov.in) and your email/SMS for the exact date and time.

**Failure to report on time will result in cancellation of your seat.** There is typically no grace period, so mark the deadline clearly and report early.

Common mistakes that lead to rejection or loss of seat

**Mistake 1: Comparing your rank incorrectly.** Remember, a **lower rank is better**. If the Opening Rank is 50,000 and Closing Rank is 100,000, you are eligible if your rank is between 50,000 and 100,000. If your rank is 40,000 (better), you are **not** eligible for this seat because it was filled by candidates with worse ranks. If your rank is 110,000 (worse), you are also not eligible.

**Mistake 2: Applying for a seat without the required category certificate.** If you do not have a valid OBC, SC, ST, or EWS certificate, you cannot be allotted a seat in that reserved category. You can only apply for UR (Unreserved) seats. Submitting a fake or expired certificate will result in cancellation of your admission.

**Mistake 3: Ignoring the MP Domicile requirement.** If a seat shows 'MP Domicile Status = YES' and you are not domiciled in MP, you are not eligible, even if your rank is within the cutoff range. Always verify your domicile status before applying.

**Mistake 4: Missing the reporting deadline.** If you are allotted a seat and 'Need to Report Status = YES', you must report by the deadline. Reporting late or not at all will result in cancellation of your seat. There is no grace period.

**Mistake 5: Not submitting required documents at the time of reporting.** When you report to the college, you must bring original certificates (10th mark sheet, 12th mark sheet, NEET scorecard, category certificate if applicable, domicile certificate, etc.). Incomplete documentation can lead to rejection.

**Mistake 6: Confusing NEET score with rank.** Your NEET score is the total marks you obtained (out of 720). Your rank is your position among all candidates. The cutoff table shows both, but your rank is what determines eligibility, not your score alone.

What to do if you are allotted a seat

**Step 1: Verify your allotment.** Check the official DME website or your registered email/SMS to confirm that you have been allotted a seat. Cross-check your name, roll number, allotted college, course, and category.

**Step 2: Note the reporting deadline.** DME will announce the date and time by which you must report to your allotted college. This is usually announced within 1–2 days of the allotment. Check the DME website daily.

**Step 3: Gather all required documents.** Prepare original copies of: NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, Aadhaar card, PAN card, and any other documents specified by the college.

**Step 4: Report to the college on time.** Visit the college's admission office on or before the deadline. Do not delay. Reporting late will result in cancellation of your seat.

**Step 5: Complete admission formalities.** Submit documents, pay the first semester fee (amount varies by college and course), and complete the admission form. The college will issue an admission letter and provide details about hostel, course start date, and other information.

**Step 6: Keep all receipts and documents safe.** Retain copies of all submitted documents and receipts for future reference.

What if you are not allotted a seat in the Mopup Round?

If your rank and score do not fall within the cutoff range for any college or category, you will not be allotted a seat in the Mopup Round. This does not mean your NEET score is invalid; it means that in this round, all available seats were filled by candidates with better ranks.

**Your options after Mopup Round:**

1. **Wait for further counselling rounds** (if announced by DME or the central authority). Some states conduct additional rounds if seats remain vacant.

2. **Apply to colleges in other states** through their separate counselling processes. Each state conducts its own NEET UG counselling.

3. **Consider private colleges outside MP** that may have lower cutoffs or may conduct their own merit-based admissions.

4. **Prepare for the next NEET exam** (NEET UG 2027) if you wish to improve your rank and score.

5. **Explore alternative courses** such as BSc Nursing, paramedical courses, or AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy) programs, which have separate counselling and may have lower cutoffs.
