Unlock My College ListWhen and Where to Download the MP NEET UG Mop-Up Merit List
The merit list will go live on October 3, 2026, on the official DME Madhya Pradesh portal at dme.mponline.gov.in. Candidates should visit the website and download the PDF file as soon as it is released. The list will contain all candidates who are eligible to participate in the mop-up round—typically those who did not receive a seat in earlier rounds but meet the state's eligibility criteria.
Alongside the merit list, the authority will publish a detailed breakdown of vacant seats by college, course (MBBS or BDS), and category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). This information is essential for making informed choices about which colleges and courses to apply for during the choice-filling window.
How to Find Your Name in the Merit List PDF
Once you download the merit list PDF, use the search function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Cmd+F on Mac) to quickly locate your name or NEET UG roll number. This is faster and more reliable than scrolling through a long document. If your name appears, you are eligible for the mop-up round and can proceed to choice filling.
If your name does not appear, it means you are not eligible for this round. This could happen if your NEET score falls below the state's cutoff for your category, or if you have already been allotted a seat in an earlier round. In such cases, contact the DME helpline for clarification.
Verify Your Details Before Choice Filling
Before you begin filling choices, carefully check all your information in the merit list PDF: your full name, NEET UG roll number, state rank, NEET score, category (General, OBC, SC, ST), and domicile status. Any discrepancy could affect your eligibility or seat allotment. If you spot an error, report it to the DME immediately—do not assume it will be corrected automatically.

Keep a printed or digital copy of the merit list for your records. You will need to refer to it during choice filling and again when the seat allotment result is announced. Having this document handy also helps if you need to contact the counselling authority with questions about your status.
Understanding the Mop-Up Round and Your Eligibility
The mop-up round is the final phase of NEET UG counselling in Madhya Pradesh. It is designed to fill any remaining vacant seats after the main and subsequent rounds. Candidates who appear in the mop-up merit list are those who either did not participate in earlier rounds, were not allotted a seat, or chose to wait for this final opportunity. This round often has fewer seats available, so competition can be intense.
Only candidates whose names are explicitly listed in the mop-up merit list should proceed with choice filling. Attempting to fill choices if you are not eligible can result in rejection and loss of your opportunity. Always confirm your eligibility status on the official portal before taking any action.
Steps to Fill and Lock Your College Choices
Once the merit list is released and you have confirmed your eligibility, log into the DME counselling portal using your NEET roll number and password. You will see a list of available colleges, courses (MBBS or BDS), and seats by category. Carefully review each option, considering factors like college reputation, location, course preference, and seat availability in your category.
Rank your preferred colleges in order of priority. The allotment algorithm will try to match you with your highest-ranked available option. After you have entered all your choices, review them one final time to ensure the order is correct. Then click 'Lock' to submit your choices. Once locked, you cannot change them, so be absolutely certain before locking. Missing the choice-filling deadline will result in automatic rejection from the mop-up round.
