Unlock My College ListWhat is the Mop-Up Round and Why Does It Matter?
The mop-up round is the final counselling round in the NEET UG admission process. It is held after all previous rounds (merit-based allotment and stray vacancy rounds) have been completed. Any seats that remain unfilled after those rounds are made available in the mop-up round.
This is your last opportunity to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in Madhya Pradesh for the 2026-27 academic year. If you have not yet been allotted a college, or if you were allotted a college but wish to try for a better one, you can participate in the mop-up round. Once the mop-up round closes, the admission process for NEET UG 2026 in MP ends.
The vacancy list released on 3 October 2026 tells you exactly which seats are still open at each college, broken down by category. This allows you to make an informed decision about which colleges and seats you are eligible for and wish to apply to.
Government MBBS and BDS Colleges: Total Vacancies
Across all 20 government MBBS colleges and 1 government BDS college in Madhya Pradesh, a total of 440 seats remain vacant after previous counselling rounds. This includes seats across all categories: Unreserved (UR), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Scheduled Caste (SC), Other Backward Class (OBC), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), and Persons with Disability (PH).
The government colleges with the most vacancies are Government Medical College Satna (12 seats), Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College Indore (10 seats), and Shyam Shah Medical College Rewa (8 seats). However, even colleges with fewer total vacancies may have seats available in your specific category, so check the detailed list carefully.
Government seats are highly competitive and typically fill quickly in the mop-up round. If you are eligible for a government college seat, you should apply as soon as the application window opens.
Private MBBS and BDS Colleges: Total Vacancies
Across all 14 private MBBS colleges and 14 private BDS colleges in Madhya Pradesh, a total of 692 private MBBS seats and 292 private BDS seats remain vacant. Private colleges typically have more seats available than government colleges, and the mop-up round is an important opportunity to secure a private seat if you have not yet been allotted one.
The private MBBS colleges with the largest number of vacancies are Mansarovar Medical College and MGU Hospital Sehore (72 seats), Ram Krishna Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Bhopal (49 seats), and RKDF Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Bhopal (42 seats). Private BDS colleges also have significant vacancies — for example, Maharana Pratap College of Dentistry and Research Center Gwalior has 40 seats available.
Private colleges charge tuition fees, which vary by college. The fees are typically higher than government colleges but are fixed and transparent. If you are considering a private college, confirm the fee structure with the college before applying.
Understanding the Category-Wise Vacancy Breakdown
The vacancy list breaks down each college's available seats by category. The categories are: UR (Unreserved — open to all candidates), ST (Scheduled Tribe), SC (Scheduled Caste), OBC (Other Backward Class), EWS (Economically Weaker Section), and PH (Persons with Disability). Each category has its own set of reserved seats, and you can only apply for seats in your eligible category.

Official 2023–2025 closing ranks and fees, matched to your rank.
For example, if you are an OBC candidate, you can only apply for seats marked as OBC. If you are an ST candidate with a disability, you may be eligible for both ST and PH seats, depending on the state's rules — check the counselling guidelines or contact DME MP for clarification on your specific eligibility.
Within each category, seats are further divided by gender in some cases (marked as X for unrestricted, or specific gender codes). The vacancy list shows exactly how many seats are available in each category at each college, so you can identify which colleges have seats you are eligible for. Do not apply for a seat in a category you are not eligible for — your application will be rejected.
- UR = Unreserved (open to all candidates)
- ST = Scheduled Tribe
- SC = Scheduled Caste
- OBC = Other Backward Class
- EWS = Economically Weaker Section
- PH = Persons with Disability
How to Use This Vacancy List to Plan Your Application
Step 1: Identify your category. Check your NEET UG admit card or registration to confirm your category (UR, ST, SC, OBC, EWS, or PH). If you have a disability, note that as well.
Step 2: Find colleges with vacancies in your category. Go through the list and identify all colleges (government and private) that have at least one seat available in your category. Write down the college names and the number of seats available.
Step 3: Check your NEET rank and cutoff. Compare your NEET rank against the cutoff scores for each college you have identified. Cutoff scores vary by college, category, and round — check the official DME MP website or counselling portal for the latest cutoff data. You can only be allotted a seat at a college if your rank is better than (or equal to) the cutoff for your category at that college.
Step 4: Prioritize your choices. Rank the colleges you are eligible for in order of your preference. In the mop-up round, you typically get one choice, so choose carefully. If you are unsure, contact the college or DME MP for guidance.
Step 5: Apply during the mop-up window. Once the application window opens (the notice does not specify the exact dates, so check the DME MP website or MPOnline portal for the schedule), log in to the counselling portal, select your preferred college and seat, and submit your application before the deadline.
Important: Colleges with Zero Vacancies
Some colleges may show zero vacancies in certain categories. This means all seats in that category have been filled in previous rounds and no seats are available in the mop-up round. Do not apply for a seat at a college if there are zero vacancies in your category — your application will not be considered.
For example, if a college shows 0 seats in the UR category, no UR seats are available at that college in the mop-up round. However, the same college may have seats available in the ST or OBC category, so check all categories carefully.
Government vs. Private Colleges: Key Differences
Government colleges are funded by the state and charge minimal tuition fees (typically ₹0–₹50,000 per year). Seats are highly competitive and fill quickly. The quality of education and infrastructure is generally good, and a government MBBS or BDS degree is highly valued.
Private colleges charge higher tuition fees (typically ₹10–₹25 lakhs per year, depending on the college). Seats are more readily available, and the application process is often faster. However, you must verify the college's recognition, accreditation, and fee structure before applying. Ensure the college is recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI) or Dental Council of India (DCI).
Both government and private colleges are included in this mop-up round. Choose based on your rank, eligibility, financial situation, and career goals.

MBBS vs. BDS: Course Differences
MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) is a 5.5-year undergraduate medical degree that qualifies you to practice as a doctor. BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is a 4-year undergraduate dental degree that qualifies you to practice as a dentist. Both are regulated by their respective councils and require passing licensing exams to practice.
This mop-up round includes vacancies in both MBBS and BDS courses. If you are interested in dentistry, check the BDS vacancies. If you are interested in general medicine, check the MBBS vacancies. You can apply for either course, but you must choose one during the application process.
What Happens After You Apply in the Mop-Up Round?
After the mop-up application window closes, the DME MP will process all applications and generate an allotment list. Candidates who are allotted a seat will be notified via the counselling portal and/or email. You will then have a specified time period (usually 3–5 days) to report to your allotted college with the required documents and pay the admission fee.
If you are allotted a seat and do not report within the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate. If you are not allotted a seat in the mop-up round, you will not be able to participate in any further counselling rounds — the admission process will be closed for you.
Once you report to your college and pay the admission fee, you will be officially admitted and can begin your course in the 2026-27 academic year.
