The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh, has published the merit list for inservice candidates participating in the state combined counselling for MD/MS postgraduate medical seats for the 2026-27 academic session. This list, issued on 9 October 2026, ranks eligible inservice applicants and determines their position in the counselling queue. Inservice candidates — typically doctors already employed in government or private institutions — must check this list to confirm their merit rank and proceed to the next stage of seat allotment. The list is now live on the MPOnline portal and candidates should verify their details immediately.

This is the official ranking of inservice candidates who have applied for MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) postgraduate seats in Madhya Pradesh for the 2026-27 session. The list has been prepared by the DME based on NEET-PG scores and eligibility criteria specific to inservice applicants.
Inservice candidates are medical professionals (MBBS doctors) already working in government hospitals, private hospitals, or other recognised medical institutions. They form a separate category in counselling and are ranked independently from general candidates. This merit list determines the order in which inservice candidates will be called for seat selection during the counselling rounds.

Any MBBS doctor who applied to the MP state combined counselling as an inservice candidate for MD/MS seats in 2026-27 must check this merit list. Your name, registration number, NEET-PG score, and merit rank should appear on it.
If you applied as an inservice candidate and your name does not appear, or if your details are incorrect, contact the DME immediately with proof of your application and inservice status. Do not wait until counselling begins to raise such issues.

Keep your NEET-PG admit card, score card, MBBS degree certificate, inservice certificate (proof of current employment), and all other required documents ready. You will need to submit these during counselling registration.
What if your details are wrong?
If you spot an error in your name, score, rank, or inservice status on the merit list, report it to the DME immediately. Errors in merit lists can affect your counselling position and must be corrected before the counselling rounds begin.
Contact the DME office in Bhopal or use the MPOnline portal's grievance section to lodge a complaint with supporting documents (your NEET-PG scorecard, inservice certificate, MBBS degree). Keep a record of your complaint and follow up regularly.
Important: inservice category eligibility
To be eligible as an inservice candidate, you must hold a valid MBBS degree and be currently employed in a recognised medical institution (government or private hospital, medical college, or health centre). Your employment must be documented and verifiable.
The inservice category is separate from the general merit list. Inservice candidates are ranked among themselves and compete for inservice-reserved seats. Do not confuse this list with the general merit list — they are different rankings for different candidate pools.

What is an inservice candidate in NEET-PG counselling?
An inservice candidate is an MBBS doctor who is currently employed in a recognised medical institution (government or private hospital, medical college, or health centre) and applies for postgraduate MD/MS seats while remaining in that job. Inservice candidates are ranked separately from general candidates and compete for inservice-reserved seats.
How do I check my rank on the inservice merit list?
Log in to the MPOnline portal (https://dme.mponline.gov.in/) with your NEET-PG registration credentials. Navigate to the counselling section and download the inservice merit list PDF. Search for your name or registration number to find your rank.
What if my name is not on the inservice merit list?
If your name does not appear on the list despite applying as an inservice candidate, contact the DME office immediately with proof of your NEET-PG registration, MBBS degree, and inservice employment certificate. There may be a processing error or missing documentation that needs to be corrected.
When will inservice candidates be called for counselling?
The DME will announce the counselling schedule separately. Inservice candidates will be called in order of their merit rank for choice-filling and seat allotment. Watch the MPOnline portal and DME website for the counselling dates.
Can I apply as both a general candidate and an inservice candidate?
No. You must choose one category at the time of application. If you applied as an inservice candidate, you will be ranked only in the inservice merit list. You cannot switch categories after the application deadline.
What documents do I need to bring for inservice counselling?
You will need your NEET-PG admit card, score card, MBBS degree certificate, inservice employment certificate (proof of current job), identity proof, and any other documents specified in the counselling notification. Check the DME website for the complete list before counselling begins.
Is the inservice merit list final, or can it change?
The merit list is based on NEET-PG scores and eligibility verification at the time of publication. If errors are found or if candidates' eligibility is challenged and overturned, the list may be revised. Always check for updates on the MPOnline portal.
What is the difference between the inservice merit list and the general merit list?
The inservice merit list ranks only inservice candidates (employed MBBS doctors) and is used for allotting inservice-reserved seats. The general merit list ranks all other eligible candidates. These are separate rankings for separate candidate pools and seat categories.
Check the inservice merit list on MPOnline immediately to verify your rank and details. If you find any errors, report them to the DME without delay. Keep all your documents ready and watch for the counselling schedule announcement.
