If your name appears in this list, you have been allotted a seat in First Round. This is a critical document—it shows exactly which ranks were called for each specialty and college, and whether seats were filled or remain vacant.

Unlock My College ListWhat This Document Contains
This is the official First Round allotment list for NEET PG 2026 counselling in Madhya Pradesh. It covers all MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), DNB (Diplomate of National Board) broad-speciality, and PG Diploma courses offered at government and private medical colleges across the state.
For each seat allotted, the list shows: the institute code and name, course type (MD/MS/DNB/PG Diploma), specialty, whether it is clinical or non-clinical, opening NEET PG AI rank, closing NEET PG AI rank, opening state common merit rank, closing state common merit rank, opening NEET PG score, closing NEET PG score, the category under which the seat was allotted (e.g., IN_UR/X/OP for unreserved open, INST/SC/X/OP for institutional SC, NON_INST/OBC/X/OP for non-institutional OBC), number of seats allotted, and whether the candidate was from MP or another state.
The opening rank is the best (lowest) rank that was called for that seat; the closing rank is the worst (highest) rank that was actually allotted. If opening and closing ranks are the same, only one candidate was allotted that seat. If they differ, multiple candidates were allotted seats in that specialty–college–category combination.
How to Find Your Allotment
To check if you have been allotted a seat, search the list by your NEET PG All-India rank (AI rank). If your rank falls between the opening and closing rank for a particular specialty, college, and category, you have been allotted that seat.
For example, if you are an unreserved (UR) candidate with NEET PG AI rank 50,000, and you see a row for Gandhi Medical College Bhopal, General Surgery, IN_UR/X/OP with opening rank 127,446 and closing rank 127,446, your rank does not fall in this range, so you were not allotted this seat. However, if another row shows opening rank 40,000 and closing rank 60,000 for the same college and specialty under your category, and your rank is 50,000, you have been allotted.
Note: The list is very long (22 pages). Use the college name, specialty, and your category to narrow your search. If you cannot find your rank, it means you were not allotted in First Round; you may be eligible for subsequent rounds or stray vacancy rounds depending on the counselling schedule.
- Search by your NEET PG All-India rank
- Match your rank against the opening and closing ranks for your category
- Confirm the college, specialty, and course type
- Note the allotted category code (e.g., IN_UR/X/OP, INST/SC/X/OP)
Understanding the Rank Columns
The list contains four rank columns: Opening NEET PG AI Rank, Closing NEET PG AI Rank, Opening State Common Merit Rank, and Closing State Common Merit Rank.
**NEET PG AI Rank** is your all-India rank in the NEET PG exam—this is the rank used for most seats. **State Common Merit Rank** is a separate ranking used for state-specific or competent authority quota seats. Most candidates will match against the NEET PG AI rank columns.
If the opening and closing NEET PG AI ranks are identical (e.g., both 50,000), it means exactly one candidate with that rank was allotted. If they differ (e.g., opening 40,000, closing 60,000), multiple candidates in that rank range were allotted seats in that specialty–college–category combination.
- NEET PG AI Rank: your all-India rank in NEET PG
- State Common Merit Rank: state-specific ranking (used for certain quotas)
- Opening rank: best (lowest) rank called
- Closing rank: worst (highest) rank actually allotted
Category Codes Explained
Know the exact MD/MS/DNB seats your rank can get
Official round-wise closing ranks with fee and stipend, matched to your rank.
Each allotted seat is tagged with a category code that tells you which quota it belongs to. Understanding these codes is essential to confirm you were allotted under the correct category.
**IN_UR/X/OP**: Unreserved (UR) open seat—available to all candidates on merit. **IN_OBC/X/OP**: OBC (Other Backward Class) open seat. **IN_SC/X/OP**: SC (Scheduled Caste) open seat. **IN_ST/X/OP**: ST (Scheduled Tribe) open seat. **IN_EWS/X/OP**: EWS (Economically Weaker Section) open seat.
**INST/UR/X/OP**: Institutional (private college) unreserved seat. **INST/OBC/X/OP**, **INST/SC/X/OP**, **INST/ST/X/OP**, **INST/EWS/X/OP**: Institutional seats reserved for OBC, SC, ST, EWS respectively. **NON_INST/UR/X/OP**, **NON_INST/OBC/X/OP**, etc.: Non-institutional (government college) seats under various categories.
**INST/UR/NRI/OP** or **INST/UR/X/NRI/OP**: NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota seats. **INST/OBC/PH/OP**: Institutional OBC seat for a person with disability (PH). The suffix **/X/** means general (no disability); **/PH/** means person with disability.
- IN_UR/X/OP = Government unreserved open
- IN_OBC/X/OP, IN_SC/X/OP, IN_ST/X/OP = Government reserved (OBC/SC/ST)
- INST/UR/X/OP = Private college unreserved
- INST/OBC/X/OP, INST/SC/X/OP, etc. = Private college reserved
- NON_INST/UR/X/OP = Government college unreserved
- INST/UR/NRI/OP = NRI quota (private)
- PH suffix = Person with disability
NEET PG Score vs. Rank
The list also shows opening and closing NEET PG scores. Your NEET PG score is the raw marks you obtained out of 800. The rank is derived from this score—higher score = lower (better) rank.
For example, a candidate with NEET PG score 500 might have AI rank 50,000, while a candidate with score 450 might have rank 100,000. The opening and closing scores show the score range of candidates allotted in that specialty–college–category combination.
If you are checking your allotment, match your rank first. The score is shown for reference and to help you understand the competitiveness of that specialty and college.
- NEET PG score: raw marks out of 800
- NEET PG rank: derived from score (lower rank = higher score)
- Opening score: highest score in the allotted range
- Closing score: lowest score in the allotted range
Government vs. Private Colleges
The list includes both government medical colleges (marked 'Govt' in the Institute Type column) and private medical colleges (marked 'Private'). Government colleges typically have lower fees and are highly competitive; private colleges have higher fees but may have lower cutoff ranks.
Government colleges in MP include Gandhi Medical College Bhopal, Gajra Raja Medical College Gwalior, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College Jabalpur, and others. Private colleges include Chirayu Medical College Bhopal, Index Medical College Indore, LN Medical College Bhopal, and others.
The allotment process fills government seats first (under various quotas), then private institutional seats. If you were allotted a private college seat, it means you did not qualify for any government college seat in First Round.
- Government colleges: lower fees, higher competition
- Private colleges: higher fees, lower cutoff ranks
- Check institute type to understand the nature of your allotted college
Clinical vs. Non-Clinical Specialties
Specialties are marked as either 'Clinical' or 'Non-Clinical'. Clinical specialties involve direct patient care (e.g., General Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology). Non-clinical specialties are laboratory or theory-based (e.g., Pathology, Microbiology, Anatomy, Forensic Medicine).
Clinical specialties are generally more competitive and have higher cutoff ranks. Non-clinical specialties typically have lower cutoff ranks. This is reflected in the opening and closing ranks shown in the list.
- Clinical: direct patient care (General Surgery, Paediatrics, etc.)
- Non-Clinical: laboratory/theory-based (Pathology, Microbiology, etc.)
- Clinical specialties are usually more competitive

What 'Allotted Count' Means
The 'Allotted Count' column shows how many seats were filled in that specialty–college–category combination in First Round. Most entries show '1', meaning one seat was allotted. Some show '2', '3', '4', or more, meaning multiple seats were allotted.
If the allotted count is 1 and the opening and closing ranks are the same, exactly one candidate was allotted. If the allotted count is 2 and the opening and closing ranks differ, two candidates were allotted—one at the opening rank and one at the closing rank (or somewhere in between).
If you see a row with allotted count 0 or no row at all for a specialty–college–category combination, it means no seat was allotted in First Round for that combination (either no candidate applied, or all candidates rejected the seat).
- Allotted Count = 1: one seat filled
- Allotted Count = 2, 3, etc.: multiple seats filled
- Allotted Count = 0 or missing row: no seat filled in First Round
MBBS from MP or Other State
The last column, 'MBBS from MP/Other State', indicates whether the allotted candidate completed their MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) from Madhya Pradesh or from another state. This is marked 'YES' or 'NO'.
This column is informational and does not affect your allotment. It is used by the counselling authority to track the distribution of seats between MP MBBS graduates and candidates from other states.
- YES: candidate's MBBS is from Madhya Pradesh
- NO: candidate's MBBS is from another state
What to Do If You Are Allotted
If you find your rank in this list and confirm you have been allotted a seat, the next step is to report to the allotted college for document verification and admission formalities. The DME will issue a separate notification with the reporting date, time, and required documents.
Typically, you must report within 2–3 days of the allotment announcement. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat. Bring all original documents (MBBS degree, mark sheets, category certificate if applicable, ID proof, etc.) as specified in the admission notification.
After document verification, you will be required to pay the admission fee and complete the registration process. Once registered, you can begin your postgraduate course.

- Report to the allotted college within the deadline
- Complete document verification and fee payment

Additionally, stray vacancy rounds may be held after all regular rounds, where remaining vacant seats are filled. Keep checking the DME website for announcements of subsequent rounds and participate if you are eligible.
If you believe there is an error in your rank or eligibility, contact the DME office immediately with proof of your NEET PG registration and score.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
How do I check if I have been allotted a seat in First Round?
Search the allotment list by your NEET PG All-India rank. If your rank falls between the opening and closing rank for a specialty, college, and category, you have been allotted that seat. For example, if your rank is 50,000 and you see a row with opening rank 40,000 and closing rank 60,000 for your category, you are allotted.
What is the difference between opening rank and closing rank?
The opening rank is the best (lowest) rank that was called for a seat; the closing rank is the worst (highest) rank that was actually allotted. If both are the same, one candidate was allotted. If they differ, multiple candidates in that rank range were allotted.
What do the category codes like IN_UR/X/OP and INST/SC/X/OP mean?
IN_UR/X/OP means government unreserved open seat. INST/SC/X/OP means private college SC (Scheduled Caste) reserved seat. The prefix (IN/INST/NON_INST) indicates government/private; the middle part (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS) indicates the category; /X/ means general (no disability); /PH/ means person with disability; /OP means open.
I found my rank in the list, but it shows 'NO' in the MBBS from MP/Other State column. Does this affect my allotment?
No. The 'MBBS from MP/Other State' column is informational only and does not affect your allotment. It simply indicates whether your MBBS degree is from Madhya Pradesh or another state. You are allotted regardless of this.
What should I do if I have been allotted a seat?
Wait for the DME to issue a separate notification with the reporting date, time, and required documents. Report to your allotted college within the deadline with all original documents (MBBS degree, mark sheets, category certificate if applicable, ID proof, etc.). Complete document verification, pay the admission fee, and register.
I was not allotted in First Round. Does this mean I will not get a seat?
No. Subsequent rounds (Second Round, Third Round, etc.) will be conducted, and seats may become available. Additionally, stray vacancy rounds may be held after all regular rounds. Keep checking the DME website for announcements and participate if you are eligible.
What is the difference between clinical and non-clinical specialties?
Clinical specialties involve direct patient care (e.g., General Surgery, Paediatrics). Non-clinical specialties are laboratory or theory-based (e.g., Pathology, Microbiology). Clinical specialties are generally more competitive and have higher cutoff ranks.
Why are there different opening and closing ranks for the same specialty at the same college?
Different ranks are shown for different categories (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) and for different quota types (government, institutional, non-institutional). Each category and quota has its own set of opening and closing ranks based on the candidates who applied and were allotted.
Can I upgrade from a private college seat to a government college seat in a later round?
Yes. In subsequent rounds, if you are eligible and a government college seat becomes available, you may be offered an upgrade. However, accepting an upgrade means you forfeit your current private college seat. Check the counselling rules for the upgrade policy.
What if I believe my rank is incorrect or I should have been allotted but was not?
Contact the DME office immediately with proof of your NEET PG registration and score. Provide details of the specialty and college you expected to be allotted. The DME will investigate and correct any errors if found.
Is this list final, or can it change?
This is the official First Round allotment list as of 29 October 2026. It is final for First Round. However, subsequent rounds may result in different allotments as candidates accept, reject, or upgrade their seats.
How many pages is this list, and how do I search through it?
The list is 22 pages long. Use your PDF reader's search function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search by your NEET PG rank, college name, or specialty. This will help you locate your allotment quickly.
If you have been allotted a seat, congratulations! Await the DME's reporting notification and ensure you report on time with all required documents. If you were not allotted in First Round, do not lose hope—subsequent rounds and stray vacancy rounds will offer more opportunities. Monitor the DME website (dme.mponline.gov.in) regularly for announcements of the next round and any updates to the counselling schedule.
