MP NEET-UG 2026 Mop-Up Round Schedule Out; Register Sep 28

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh has released the schedule for the MP NEET-UG 2026 Mop-Up Round on its counselling portal, dme.mponline.gov.in, and separately extended the Round 2 seat-resignation deadline to 1 October 2026. The mop-up round is the round that fills the state-quota MBBS and BDS seats still vacant after Round 2, and fresh registration plus fresh choice filling are mandatory to take part — even for candidates who registered in the earlier rounds.

What is the MP NEET-UG mop-up round?

Madhya Pradesh conducts its 85% state-quota MBBS/BDS counselling in a sequence of rounds. After Round 1 and Round 2 allotments and reporting, the seats that remain unfilled — because candidates did not join, resigned, or upgraded away — are pooled for the mop-up round. It is effectively a fresh mini-counselling: the merit list is re-drawn from the pool of eligible, unallotted (and newly registering) candidates, and everyone must fill choices again from scratch. For many candidates it is a genuine second chance at a government or private seat.

MP NEET-UG mop-up round: full schedule

Who should register for the mop-up round?

• NEET-UG 2026 qualified candidates with Madhya Pradesh domicile who are still without a seat.
• Candidates who want to try for a better college or course than their current allotment (note the resignation/forfeiture rules before you do).
• Fresh candidates who did not participate in Rounds 1 or 2 but are eligible for MP state-quota seats.
• For private/NRI/management seats, check the specific eligibility and fee terms in the DME brochure.

Step-by-step: how to take part

• Register and pay the counselling fee on dme.mponline.gov.in within 28 September – 2 October; keep the payment receipt.
• Wait for the revised state merit / eligibility list on 3 October and check your position.
• Fill a wide, honestly-ordered choice list of colleges and courses from 4–7 October, and LOCK it before 11:59 PM on 7 October — an unlocked list is not considered.
• Check your allotment on 10 October and download the provisional allotment letter if you get a seat.
• Report to the allotted college with all originals between 11 and 14 October (till 6 PM) to confirm admission.

Documents you'll need

• NEET-UG 2026 admit card and scorecard/result
• Class 10 marksheet and certificate (for date of birth)
• Class 12 marksheet and passing certificate
• Photo ID proof (Aadhaar / PAN / passport)
• Domicile / residence certificate (for state-quota seats)
• Category certificate (SC / ST / OBC-NCL / EWS) in the prescribed format, if applicable
• PwD / disability certificate from a notified board, if applicable
• Provisional allotment letter (printed after allotment)
• Recent passport-size photographs matching your NEET application

Important points and common mistakes to avoid

• Filling choices but not locking them is the single most common mistake — locked choices are the only ones considered for allotment.
• Understand the resignation and security-deposit terms before you resign a Round 2 seat or skip reporting; exiting after allotment can attract forfeiture or restrictions as per the DME notice.
• Order your choices by genuine preference, not by 'safety' alone — you are bound to report if allotted a locked upper choice.
• Carry both originals and photocopies; missing or mismatched documents (name/category spelling) are the top reasons reporting is delayed.

Confirm every date, the exact fee and the security-deposit and resignation rules on the official portal, dme.mponline.gov.in — the DME MP notice is the only authoritative source.
