The Directorate of Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh, has released the official schedule for the MOP UP Round of MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in 2026. This is the final counselling round — your last chance to secure a seat if you were not allotted in earlier rounds. The schedule runs from 28 September to 14 October 2026, with strict deadlines for registration, choice filling, allotment, and in-person reporting. Missing any deadline will cost you your seat. This notice tells you exactly when each step happens and what you must do.
MOP UP Round is your final chance to get a seat; registration opens 28 Sep, choice filling is 4–7 Oct, allotment is 10 Oct, and you must report in person by 14 Oct or lose your seat.
What is the MOP UP Round?
The MOP UP Round is the last and final counselling round in Madhya Pradesh's NEET UG admission process for MBBS and BDS courses. It is held after the main counselling rounds (Round 1, Round 2, and any earlier special rounds) to fill any remaining vacant seats. If you did not get a seat in earlier rounds, or if you were allotted a seat but did not report and your seat was cancelled, the MOP UP Round is your final opportunity.
This round is open to all NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates who are eligible — whether they registered in earlier rounds or not. The key difference is that in the MOP UP Round, you can apply fresh if you have not yet registered, or you can participate again if you were already registered but did not get a seat before.
Who Can Register for MOP UP Round?
Any candidate who has qualified in NEET UG 2026 and meets the eligibility criteria for MBBS or BDS admission in Madhya Pradesh can register for the MOP UP Round. This includes candidates who are registering for the first time, as well as those who registered in earlier rounds but did not secure a seat.
The notice specifically states: 'Candidates who are already registered are not required to register again.' This means if you registered in Round 1 or Round 2, you do not need to fill out a fresh registration form. However, if you have never registered before, you must do so during the fresh registration window (28 September to 2 October 2026).
- Qualified in NEET UG 2026
- Meet Madhya Pradesh eligibility criteria for MBBS/BDS
- Either registering for the first time OR already registered in an earlier round
Important Dates: Complete Timeline
The MOP UP Round follows a strict schedule. Every date and time is final — there are no extensions. Missing even one deadline will disqualify you from that step and may cost you your seat. Below is the complete timeline from registration to final reporting.
Pay special attention to the end times: registration closes at 11:59 PM on 2 October, choice filling closes at 11:59 PM on 7 October, and reporting must be completed by 6:00 PM on 14 October. If you submit anything even one minute after these times, it will not be accepted.

Step 1: Fresh Registration (28 Sep – 2 Oct)
If you have never registered in any earlier round of MP counselling, you must register during this window. Registration is done online through the MPOnline portal (dme.mponline.gov.in). You will need to provide your NEET UG 2026 roll number, date of birth, and other basic details.
If you already registered in Round 1 or Round 2, you do NOT register again. You will automatically be included in the MOP UP Round merit list. However, you will still need to fill fresh choices during the choice-filling window (Step 4).
The registration window closes at 11:59 PM on 2 October. Do not wait until the last day — the portal may be slow. Register at least 1–2 days before the deadline.
- Only for candidates registering for the first time
- Already-registered candidates skip this step
- Done online via MPOnline portal
- Deadline: 2 October 2026, 11:59 PM (strict, no extension)
Step 2: Merit List & Eligibility List Publication
After the registration window closes, the Directorate will publish two lists: the Revised State Merit List (showing all registered candidates ranked by their NEET score) and the Eligible Candidates list (showing who qualifies for counselling). These lists are published on the MPOnline portal and are usually available within 1–2 days after registration closes.
Check these lists to confirm your name, rank, and eligibility status. If you find an error (wrong name, wrong score, missing category), contact the Directorate immediately — do not wait. Errors at this stage can affect your allotment.
- Revised State Merit List published (all registered candidates ranked by NEET score)
- Eligible Candidates list published (confirms who can participate in counselling)
- Check your name, rank, and category immediately
- Report any errors to the Directorate without delay
Step 3: Vacancy Publication (3 Oct)
On 3 October 2026, the Directorate will publish the list of available seats (vacancies) in MBBS and BDS colleges across Madhya Pradesh. This list shows how many seats are open in each college, each course (MBBS or BDS), and each category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.).
This is crucial information for your choice filling. You can only choose colleges and seats that are actually vacant. The vacancy list will be available on the MPOnline portal. Download it and study it carefully before you start filling your choices.
- Published on 3 October 2026
- Shows available MBBS and BDS seats by college and category
- Available on MPOnline portal
- Study this before filling your choices
Step 4: Choice Filling & Choice Locking (4–7 Oct)
This is the most important step. During 4–7 October 2026, you must fill your choices — the list of colleges and courses you are willing to accept, in order of preference. The notice emphasizes: 'Fresh choice filling must for participating candidates in MOP UP Round.' This means even if you filled choices in an earlier round, you must fill fresh choices for the MOP UP Round. Your old choices do not carry forward.
You can list as many colleges and courses as you wish, in any order. Rank them by your true preference — the system will allot you the highest-ranked college for which you are eligible based on your NEET score and category. After you submit your choices, you must 'lock' them. Once locked, you cannot change them. The choice-filling window closes at 11:59 PM on 7 October.
Strategy: List all colleges you would accept, starting with your dream college at the top. Include colleges across different cities and categories (MBBS and BDS) to maximize your chances. Do not leave the choice filling to the last moment — the portal may crash or be slow.
- Dates: 4–7 October 2026 (11:59 PM deadline)
- Fresh choices must be filled — old choices do not carry forward
- List colleges in order of preference (highest preference first)
- Lock your choices after submitting — no changes allowed after locking
- Include multiple colleges and courses to increase chances
- Do not wait until the last day
Step 5: Allotment Result (10 Oct)
On 10 October 2026, the Directorate will release the allotment result. This will show which college and course you have been allotted, based on your NEET score, category, and choice ranking. The result will be available on the MPOnline portal.
Check the result immediately. If you are allotted a seat, note your college name, course (MBBS or BDS), and the reporting date and time. If you are not allotted, you have no further steps in this round — the MOP UP Round is over for you.
Important: If you are allotted a seat but do not report within the reporting window (11–14 October), your seat will be cancelled and you will forfeit your admission. There are no second chances in the MOP UP Round.
- Result published on 10 October 2026
- Shows your allotted college, course, and reporting details
- Check immediately on MPOnline portal
- If allotted, you must report in person by 14 October or lose your seat
Step 6: In-Person Reporting & Document Verification (11–14 Oct)
If you are allotted a seat, you must report in person at your allotted college between 11 October and 14 October 2026. Reporting must be completed by 6:00 PM on 14 October — not a minute later. This is your final deadline. If you do not report by this time, your seat will be cancelled automatically.
When you report, bring all original documents for verification: your NEET admit card, NEET result, 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other documents specified by the college. The college will verify these documents and confirm your admission. After verification, you will be formally admitted to the course.
Do not delay reporting. Travel to the college on time, even if it means traveling a day or two before the deadline. Many candidates lose seats because they arrive late or miss the deadline.
- Dates: 11–14 October 2026 (must complete by 6:00 PM on 14 Oct)
- Report in person at your allotted college
- Bring all original documents for verification
- After verification, you are formally admitted
- Missing the deadline = automatic seat cancellation
Seat Leaving Bond & Resignation Rule
The notice includes an important rule: 'As per rule 15 (1) (ग) Seat leaving bond will be applicable on candidates who resigned after commencement of MOP UP round.' This means if you are allotted a seat in the MOP UP Round and you report to the college, but then you resign or leave after the round has started, you may be liable to pay a seat-leaving bond (a financial penalty).
This rule is designed to prevent candidates from taking a seat and then abandoning it. If you are certain you want to pursue the allotted course and college, report and join. If you have any doubts, do not report — let the seat go to another candidate. Once you report, you are committing to the course.
- Seat-leaving bond applies if you resign after MOP UP Round starts
- Bond is a financial penalty for abandoning your seat
- Only report if you are committed to joining the college
- Do not report and then resign — you will face financial consequences
Common Mistakes That Get Your Application Rejected
Missing the registration deadline (2 October, 11:59 PM): If you are registering for the first time and miss this deadline, you cannot participate in the MOP UP Round at all. There is no extension.
Not filling fresh choices: Even if you filled choices in an earlier round, you must fill fresh choices for MOP UP. Old choices do not carry forward. If you do not fill new choices, you will not be considered for allotment.
Submitting choices after 11:59 PM on 7 October: The system closes automatically. Late submissions are rejected.
Not locking your choices: After you submit your choices, you must click 'lock' to finalize them. If you do not lock, your choices may not be saved.
Missing the reporting deadline (6:00 PM on 14 October): This is the most common mistake. Candidates are allotted seats but do not report on time, and their seats are cancelled. Travel to the college in advance if needed.
Bringing incomplete documents to reporting: Bring all original documents — NEET admit card, result, mark sheets, category certificate, domicile certificate. Missing even one document can delay or block your admission.
Registering twice: If you already registered in an earlier round, do not register again. Duplicate registrations can cause confusion and rejection.

I am allotted a seat but I want to resign after joining. What happens?

Can I participate in MOP UP if I was allotted a seat in an earlier round but did not report?
