MP NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Complete Document Checklist & Proformas

Madhya Pradesh's Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has released the official proformas and document checklist for NEET UG 2026 counselling. This is the complete set of forms and certificates every candidate must submit at the time of admission to secure their seat in MBBS or BDS programmes across MP's government and private medical colleges. The notice specifies exactly which documents are required, in what format, and which proformas must be notarised or witnessed. Missing or incorrect documents at admission will result in rejection and loss of your seat — this guide explains every requirement.

What This Notice Is: The Official Document Checklist for Admission

This is not a merit list, cutoff, or allotment notice. It is the official checklist of documents and proformas that Madhya Pradesh requires every candidate to present at the time of admission — after you have been allotted a seat through counselling. The notice is titled 'Proforma for Scrutiny of Certificates/Documents' and is issued by the DME, MP under the MP Medical Education Admission Rules, 2018 and all amendments up to 3 September 2025.

The document serves two purposes: (1) it lists all 16 documents you must bring, and (2) it provides the official proformas (forms) you must fill, sign, and sometimes notarise. Colleges will use this checklist to verify your eligibility at admission. If you do not have all documents, or if they do not meet the specifications listed here, your admission will be rejected.

The 16 Documents You Must Submit at Admission

The notice lists exactly 16 documents that must be presented at the time of admission. Every single one is mandatory unless explicitly marked as conditional (e.g., 'if applicable'). Below is the complete list with explanations of what each document is and why it matters.

Read this section carefully. Many candidates lose their seats because they arrive at admission without one of these documents, or with the wrong type of certificate.

• **Document 1: NEET UG 2026 Registration & Admit Card** — Your original admit card or registration certificate from NTA showing your NEET UG 2026 roll number and photograph. This proves you sat the exam.
• **Document 2: Class 12 (10+2) Mark Sheet** — Original or certified copy of your Higher Secondary (Class 12) or equivalent examination mark sheet. This is proof of your educational qualification.
• **Document 3: Age Certificate** — Original certificate from your high school or equivalent exam board showing your date of birth. The certificate must explicitly mention your age. A simple mark sheet is not enough — it must be a dedicated age certificate or a mark sheet with age clearly stated.
• **Document 4: Photo ID** — A government-issued photo ID such as a voter ID, PAN card, driving licence, passport, or Aadhaar card. Alternatively, a school-issued photo ID is acceptable.
• **Document 5: Madhya Pradesh Residency Certificate (Digital)** — A digital certificate issued by a competent authority (Tehsildar/Naib Tehsildar) proving you are a permanent or local resident of MP. If you are a minor, your parent's residency certificate must show your name. This is critical for state quota seats.
• **Document 6: Caste Certificate (if applicable)** — If you are applying under a reserved category (SC/ST), you must submit a permanent caste certificate issued by a competent authority in MP. This must be the official caste certificate, not a temporary one.
• **Document 7: EWS Certificate (if applicable)** — If you are applying under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category, you must submit a certificate issued by a competent authority of the MP government for the financial year 2025-26 (ending 31 March 2026).
• **Document 8: Income Certificate (if applicable)** — For Other Backward Class (OBC) candidates, a current-year income certificate issued by the Tehsildar or Naib Tehsildar is required to determine creamy/non-creamy layer status.
• **Document 9: Disability Certificate (if applicable)** — If you are applying under the Disability category, you must submit: (a) an Eligibility Certificate from the Medical Assessment Board at a DGHS-nominated Disability Certification Centre, issued according to NMC guidelines, AND (b) a UDID Card (Unique Disability Identification Card) from the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment.
• **Document 10: Military Service Certificate (if applicable)** — If you are applying under the Military category, you must submit a certificate from the Commandant (for serving military) or the District Military Welfare Board (for retired or deceased military personnel). The form must be Form 2(a), 2(b), or 2(c).
• **Document 11: Freedom Fighter Certificate (if applicable)** — If you are applying under the Freedom Fighter category, you must submit a certificate issued by the relevant District Collector, in Form 3.
• **Document 12: Government School Student Certificate (if applicable)** — If you are applying under the Government School Student category, you must submit a certificate issued by a competent authority in Form 10, confirming you studied in a government school from Class 6 to 12.
• **Document 13: NRI/OCI Affidavit (if applicable)** — If you are an NRI or OCI candidate seeking an NRI quota seat in a private college, you must submit a notarised affidavit on ₹1,000 non-judicial stamp paper in Form 4, 5, or 6.
• **Document 14: Non-Resident Status Affidavit (if applicable)** — If you are from another state or claiming local residency in MP from another state, you must submit a notarised affidavit in Form 7 stating you have not claimed local residency benefits from any other state.
• **Document 15: Rural Service Bond / Seat Lifting Bond (if applicable)** — If you are claiming a rural service bond seat or seat lifting bond seat, you must submit the relevant bond proforma (Form 8(a-1), 8(a-2), or 8(b)).
• **Document 16: Discipline Undertaking (if applicable)** — If you are seeking an upgrade to a higher round, you must submit a discipline undertaking in Form 9.

Critical Trap: Certificate Types That Will Get You Rejected

The notice specifies exact types of certificates. Submitting the wrong type — even if it looks similar — will result in rejection. Here are the most common mistakes:

**Age Certificate:** You cannot use just a mark sheet. The certificate must be a dedicated age certificate from your school or exam board, OR a mark sheet that explicitly states your date of birth and age. Many candidates bring mark sheets without age mentioned and are rejected.

**Caste Certificate:** Must be a **permanent** caste certificate issued by a competent authority in MP. Temporary certificates are not accepted. The certificate must show your caste and sub-caste (if applicable) clearly.

**Residency Certificate:** Must be a **digital certificate** issued by the Tehsildar or Naib Tehsildar. A simple affidavit or letter is not enough. If you are a minor, your parent's certificate must explicitly mention your name.

**EWS Certificate:** Must be issued for the financial year 2025-26 (ending 31 March 2026). Certificates from previous years will not be accepted.

**Disability Certificate:** You need TWO documents: (1) an Eligibility Certificate from a DGHS-nominated Medical Assessment Board, AND (2) a UDID Card. Having only one will result in rejection.

**NRI/OCI Affidavit:** Must be notarised on ₹1,000 non-judicial stamp paper. A simple affidavit without notarisation will not be accepted.

The 12 Official Proformas (Forms) You Must Complete and Sign

In addition to the 16 documents above, the notice provides 12 official proformas (forms) that you must fill out, sign, and sometimes notarise. These are not optional — they are part of the admission process. Below is a summary of each proforma and when it applies to you.

Some proformas apply to all candidates; others apply only if you fall into a specific category (e.g., military, NRI, rural service). Read carefully to identify which ones you need.

• **Proforma 1 (Part B): Scrutiny Certificate** — Filled by the college's scrutiny committee at admission. The committee verifies your documents against NTA's NEET data, checks that your photo and signature match, and certifies whether you are eligible for admission or ineligible (and if so, why). This is completed by the college, not you.

Proforma 9: Discipline Undertaking (For Upgrades Only)

If you are seeking an upgrade to a higher round of counselling, you must submit a discipline undertaking in Proforma 9. This is notarised on ₹100 non-judicial stamp paper. In this undertaking, you declare that you have read and understood the MP Medical Education Admission Rules 2018 and all amendments, and that you will comply with all regulations, including the IMC Regulation 2002 on professional conduct and ethics. You also declare that you will not engage in indiscipline, ragging, or strikes during your course. Violation can result in cancellation of your admission under Rule 17(3) of the 2018 Rules.

Proforma 10: Government School Student Certificate

If you are applying under the Government School Student category, you must obtain a certificate from a competent authority (District Education Officer or equivalent) in Proforma 10. This certificate confirms that you studied in a government school from Class 6 to 12 and passed the exam. The certificate must be issued by the District Education Officer or an officer authorised by them.

Proforma 11: Undertaking for Upgrade Candidates

In this undertaking, you declare that if you do not upgrade or if you withdraw from your current seat, you will submit separate notarised undertakings (Proforma 8(a-1), 8(a-2), or 8(b)) as applicable. This ensures that if you withdraw, the bond terms apply.

You also commit to serve in rural areas as specified by the government for 5 years after completing your degree.

How to Fill and Submit the Proformas: Step-by-Step

The proformas are provided in the notice as templates. You must print them, fill them by hand or type them, sign them, and in many cases, get them notarised. Here is the step-by-step process:

**Step 1: Print the Proforma** — Download and print the relevant proforma from the notice or from the DME MP website.

**Step 2: Fill in Your Details** — Complete all fields with your name, roll number, parents' names, address, and other required information. Use black or blue ink if filling by hand.

**Step 3: Sign and Get Witnesses (if required)** — Some proformas require your signature and the signatures of two witnesses. Witnesses must be present when you sign. Their names, addresses, and mobile numbers must be clearly written.

**Step 4: Get Notarised (if required)** — Proformas 4, 5, 6, 7, 8(a-1), 8(a-2), 8(b), 9, 11, and 12 must be notarised on non-judicial stamp paper. The stamp paper cost varies: ₹100 for most proformas, ₹500 for Proforma 11 and 12, and ₹1,000 for Proforma 4, 5, and 6. Take the completed proforma to a notary public, who will verify your identity and notarise it.

**Step 5: Bring to Admission** — Bring all completed and notarised proformas along with the 16 documents to the college at the time of admission. The college will verify them and file them in your admission record.

Important Dates and Deadlines

The notice does not specify a deadline for submitting documents. However, documents must be submitted at the time of admission. The exact date of admission will be announced by the DME MP through the counselling portal (MPOnline). Check the counselling schedule on the DME website or MPOnline for the admission date for your round.

**Key point:** Do not wait until the last day to prepare your documents. Start collecting them immediately after your allotment. Many candidates lose their seats because they arrive at admission without all documents.

What Happens If You Don't Have All Documents

If you arrive at admission without all 16 documents or with incorrect proformas, the college's scrutiny committee will mark you as ineligible. Your seat will be cancelled, and your original documents will not be returned to you. The notice explicitly states: 'If any document/certificate is not submitted or if other reasons make the allotted seat ineligible, the candidate is not eligible for admission on the allotted seat.'

This is final. You will not get a second chance. Once your seat is cancelled, you cannot appeal or reapply in the same round. You may be eligible for a lower round if seats remain, but there is no guarantee.

Special Rules for Specific Categories

**Rural Service Bond Candidates:** If you are admitted under a rural service bond seat, you must commit to serve in rural areas as specified by the government. The duration and penalty depend on your category and the type of college (government or private). Failure to serve or pay the penalty will result in legal action by the government.

**NRI/OCI Candidates:** If you are an NRI/OCI candidate, you must submit notarised affidavits and a sponsorship certificate. The sponsor must commit to bearing your entire fee for the duration of the course. If the sponsor fails to pay, you will be liable.

**Chief Minister Scholarship Beneficiaries:** If you are a beneficiary of the Chief Minister Scholarship scheme, you must commit to serve in rural areas for 5 years after completing your degree. Failure to do so will result in recovery of the scholarship amount plus interest.

**Disability Candidates:** You must have both an Eligibility Certificate from a DGHS-nominated Medical Assessment Board and a UDID Card. Without both, you cannot claim the disability category.
