MP NEET UG 2026 Second Round Vacancies: 2,618 MBBS & 869 BDS Seats

Madhya Pradesh's Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has released the official vacancy list for the second round of NEET UG 2026 counselling. The state is offering 2,618 MBBS seats (219 in government colleges, 847 in private colleges) and 869 BDS seats (39 in government, 774 in private institutions). This vacancy matrix shows exactly how many seats remain unfilled in each college, broken down by category (UR, ST, SC, OBC, EWS) and special quotas (PH, FF, SN, GS, NRI). If you cleared NEET UG 2026 and did not get a seat in round one, or if you want to upgrade your college or course, this is your chance to register for round two.

What is this vacancy list and why does it matter?

This is the official seat matrix released by MP DME showing exactly how many seats are still empty in each government and private medical and dental college after the first round of counselling. Every seat shown here is available for you to apply for in the second round.

The vacancy list is critical because it tells you: (1) which colleges have seats in your category, (2) how many seats are left, and (3) whether your expected rank might qualify you. Without this information, you cannot make an informed choice during registration. The document is dated 07-09-2026 and reflects the state of vacancies on that date.

This is NOT a merit list or allotment result — it is a live inventory of available seats. Your actual allotment in round two will depend on your NEET rank, your choices, and the counselling algorithm.

Total seats available: MBBS and BDS breakdown

Madhya Pradesh is offering a total of 2,618 MBBS seats across 20 colleges (19 government + 1 private with new seats added). Of these, 219 seats remain in government MBBS colleges and 847 in private MBBS colleges. Additionally, 100 new seats have been added: 50 at RKDF Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Bhopal, and 50 at Sukh Sagar Medical College and Hospital Jabalpur.

For BDS (dental), the state is offering 869 total seats: 39 in the government college (Government Autonomous College of Dentistry Indore) and 774 across 13 private dental colleges. These numbers represent all unfilled seats after round one and are now open for round two registration.

• MBBS: 2,618 total seats (219 government + 847 private + 100 new seats added)
• BDS: 869 total seats (39 government + 774 private)
• 20 government medical colleges participating
• 14 private medical colleges participating
• 1 government dental college participating
• 13 private dental colleges participating

Understanding the seat categories and quotas

Every seat in the vacancy list is labeled by category and quota. Category refers to your social status (UR = Unreserved/General, ST = Scheduled Tribe, SC = Scheduled Caste, OBC = Other Backward Class, EWS = Economically Weaker Section). Quota refers to special reservations: PH = Person with Disability, FF = Freedom Fighter, SN = Sports/National Merit, GS = Government Servant, NRI = Non-Resident Indian.

For example, if a college shows 'UR_X_OP_SEATS = 8', it means 8 unreserved seats are open to all candidates. If it shows 'ST_PH_OP_SEATS = 1', it means 1 seat is reserved for a Scheduled Tribe candidate with a disability. You can only apply for a seat if you meet the eligibility criteria for that category and quota.

The vacancy matrix uses abbreviations: OP = Open (general merit), X = General (no special quota), PH = Disability, FF = Freedom Fighter, SN = Sports/National, GS = Government Servant. Read your college's row carefully to find seats matching your category.

• UR = Unreserved (General category)
• ST = Scheduled Tribe
• SC = Scheduled Caste
• OBC = Other Backward Class
• EWS = Economically Weaker Section
• PH = Person with Disability
• FF = Freedom Fighter
• SN = Sports/National Merit
• GS = Government Servant
• NRI = Non-Resident Indian
• OP = Open merit (no special quota)

Government MBBS colleges: vacancy details

Madhya Pradesh has 19 government MBBS colleges with a combined 2,523 total seats. After round one, 219 seats remain vacant. The colleges with the most vacancies are: Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College Indore (46 seats), Gandhi Medical College Bhopal (21 seats), and Government Medical College Satna (13 seats). Colleges with fewer vacancies include Bundelkhand Medical College Sagar (5 seats) and Government Medical College Seoni (5 seats).

Each government college's vacancy is further broken down by category and quota. For instance, Gandhi Medical College Bhopal has 8 unreserved open seats, 3 seats for persons with disability (unreserved), 1 freedom fighter seat (unreserved), and seats reserved for ST, SC, OBC, and EWS candidates. You must check your specific category to see if your college of choice has a seat for you.

Government colleges are highly competitive because they charge minimal fees and offer excellent infrastructure. Even with 219 vacancies, seats fill quickly in round two, especially in popular colleges and for unreserved candidates. Check the vacancy matrix carefully and prioritize your choices.

• 19 government MBBS colleges in MP
• 2,523 total government MBBS seats
• 219 seats vacant after round one

Several colleges still have 30–60 vacant seats.

Private colleges charge tuition fees (typically ₹50–80 lakhs for the full course) but offer more seats and often have better infrastructure and faculty. The large number of vacancies in private colleges means your chances of getting a seat are higher, even with a moderate rank. However, you must verify the college's recognition and accreditation before applying.

Two private colleges have added 50 new seats each for 2026: RKDF Medical College Bhopal and Sukh Sagar Medical College Jabalpur. These new seats are included in the vacancy count and are available for round two. This is a significant opportunity if you are interested in these colleges.

How to read the vacancy matrix for your college and category

The vacancy list is presented in a table format with columns for each category and quota combination. To find seats available for you: (1) Locate your preferred college in the list. (2) Identify your category (UR, ST, SC, OBC, EWS). (3) Check the columns for your category to see how many open seats (OP) are available, and how many seats are reserved for PH, FF, SN, GS, or NRI if applicable. (4) Add up all the seats in your category to get the total available for you.

For example, if you are an unreserved (UR) candidate without disability, you can apply for seats marked 'UR_X_OP_SEATS' (unreserved open seats). If you are an SC candidate, look for 'SC_X_OP_SEATS' and 'SC_PH_OP_SEATS' (if you have a disability). If you are an EWS candidate, check 'EWS_X_OP_SEATS'. The number in each cell is the count of vacant seats in that category-quota combination.

Do not assume a college has no seats for you just because one column shows zero. Check all relevant columns for your category. For instance, a college might have zero 'UR_X_OP_SEATS' but still have 'UR_PH_OP_SEATS' or 'UR_FF_OP_SEATS' available. Read carefully and cross-check before finalizing your choices.

• Locate your college in the vacancy matrix
• Identify your category (UR, ST, SC, OBC, EWS)
• Check all columns for your category
• Add up all seats in your category to get total available
• Do not assume zero seats — check all quota columns
• Example: UR candidate looks for UR_X_OP, UR_PH_OP, UR_FF_OP, etc.
• Example: SC candidate looks for SC_X_OP, SC_PH_OP, SC_FF_OP, etc.

Important: NRI seats and special quotas

The vacancy matrix includes NRI (Non-Resident Indian) seats, which are available only to Indian citizens living abroad or their children. If you are an NRI, check the 'NRI_OP_SEATS' column for each college. NRI seats typically have higher fees and different eligibility criteria. Verify with the college before applying.

Special quota seats (PH for disability, FF for freedom fighter, SN for sports/national merit, GS for government servant) are also shown separately. If you fall into any of these categories, you may have additional seats available beyond the general open seats. For example, if you are an SC candidate with a disability, you can apply for both 'SC_X_OP_SEATS' and 'SC_PH_OP_SEATS'. Ensure you have the required certificate (disability certificate, freedom fighter certificate, etc.) before applying.

Government servant (GS) seats are reserved for children of government employees. If you are eligible, check the 'GS_OP_SEATS' column. These seats are often less competitive than general open seats. Verify your eligibility and have the required proof (parent's government service certificate) ready.

• NRI seats: for Non-Resident Indians only — check 'NRI_OP_SEATS' column
• PH seats: for persons with disability — requires disability certificate
• FF seats: for freedom fighter families — requires freedom fighter certificate
• SN seats: for sports/national merit — requires sports certificate
• GS seats: for government servant children — requires parent's service certificate
• You may be eligible for multiple seat types — check all applicable columns
• Verify eligibility and have required certificates before applying

What to do next: registration and choice filling

Once the second round registration window opens (date to be announced by MP DME), log in to the official counselling portal (MPOnline) using your NEET UG 2026 registration number and password. Fill in your choices in order of preference, using this vacancy matrix to guide you. Choose colleges and seats where you believe your rank will qualify you, starting with your most preferred college.

Do not leave your choice list incomplete. Fill in as many colleges and seats as possible — the more choices you provide, the better your chances of getting a seat. The counselling algorithm will match your rank and choices to available seats. If your rank qualifies for a seat in your first choice, you will be allotted that seat. If not, the system will move to your second choice, and so on.

After registration and choice filling, the counselling authority will release the allotment result. Check the result on the portal and report to your allotted college on the specified date with all required documents. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat.

• Wait for second round registration window to open (date TBA)
• Log in to MPOnline portal with NEET UG 2026 credentials
• Use this vacancy matrix to identify colleges and seats for your category
• Fill in your choice list in order of preference
• Fill in as many choices as possible — more choices = better chances
• Submit your choices before the deadline
• Check allotment result on the portal
• Report to your allotted college with all required documents on time

Common mistakes to avoid when using the vacancy matrix

Mistake 1: Assuming a college has no seats because one column shows zero. Always check all columns for your category. A college might have zero unreserved open seats but still have seats for persons with disability or other special quotas. Read every column carefully.

Mistake 2: Applying for seats in a category you do not belong to. You can only apply for seats in your actual category (UR, ST, SC, OBC, EWS). Applying for a seat in the wrong category will result in rejection. Verify your category certificate before applying.

Mistake 3: Ignoring the NRI column and applying for NRI seats when you are not an NRI. NRI seats are only for Non-Resident Indians. If you apply for an NRI seat and you are not eligible, your application will be rejected. Check the 'NRI_OP_SEATS' column only if you are an NRI.

Mistake 4: Not checking the college's accreditation and recognition. Before applying, verify that your chosen college is recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI) or the National Board of Examination (NBE). Unrecognized colleges may not allow you to practice medicine after graduation.

Mistake 5: Applying for seats in colleges far from your home without considering logistics. While the vacancy matrix shows available seats, you should also consider the college's location, infrastructure, and reputation. Do not apply for a seat just because it is available — ensure it is a good fit for you.

• Do not assume zero seats — check all columns for your category
• Apply only for seats in your actual category
• Do not apply for NRI seats unless you are an NRI
• Verify college accreditation and recognition before applying
• Consider college location, infrastructure, and reputation
• Have all required certificates (category, disability, etc.) ready
• Do not miss registration or choice-filling deadlines
• Report to your allotted college on time with all documents
