The Directorate of Medical Education in Madhya Pradesh has begun Round 2 registration for NEET UG 2026 counselling. This round is open to candidates who did not register in Round 1, as well as those already admitted who wish to upgrade to a better seat. Registration is live on the official portal dme.mponline.gov.in, with a tight timeline for completion. If you missed the first round or want to improve your college allocation, this is your opportunity—but you must act quickly, as key deadlines are just days away.
Fresh candidates and those seeking upgradation must complete registration and fill fresh choices by September 6–7, 2026, or risk losing eligibility for Round 2 seat allotment.
Who Can Register for MP Round 2 Counselling?
Round 2 registration is open to all candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026. This includes two main groups: those who did not apply during Round 1, and candidates already admitted in Round 1 who now wish to upgrade to a different or better college.
Fresh registration is strictly for candidates who missed the first round. If you already registered and were allotted a seat in Round 1, you do not need to register again—you can simply use the edit facility to update your choices if you wish to pursue upgradation.
All applicants must meet Madhya Pradesh domicile and reservation eligibility criteria for state quota seats. The counselling covers both MBBS and BDS programmes across government and private medical and dental colleges in the state.
Critical Timeline: Don't Miss These Dates
The registration and choice-filling process follows a compressed schedule. The edit window for both fresh and existing applicants runs only from September 5 to 6, 2026. This is your window to correct any errors in personal, academic, or category details.
The revised merit list and updated vacancy information will be published on September 7, 2026. This is when you will see which seats are available in your category and which colleges have openings. Immediately after, fresh choice filling and locking must be completed—this is mandatory for all Round 2 participants.
Seat allotment results are expected on September 11, 2026. Once allotted, you must report to your assigned college between September 12 and 18, 2026 (by 6:00 PM) for document verification and admission. Candidates already admitted in Round 1 who wish to participate in the Mop-Up round must declare their willingness by 11:59 PM on September 18.

- Seat allotment result: September 11, 2026

How to Register: Step-by-Step Process
Visit the official portal at dme.mponline.gov.in. Fresh candidates will need to create a login using their NEET UG 2026 credentials. If you already registered in Round 1, simply sign in with your existing username and password.
Complete all required fields: personal details, academic qualifications, and category information. Upload all prescribed documents in the correct format—ensure these are clear and legible, as they will be verified during admission. Pay the registration fee to finalize your submission.
After registration, use the edit window (September 5–6) to review and correct any information if needed. This is your last chance to fix errors before the merit list is finalized.
Why Fresh Choice Filling Is Mandatory—Even for Round 1 Admitted Candidates
A critical rule for Round 2: every participant, including those already admitted in Round 1, must fill fresh choices. This applies even if you are simply seeking upgradation to a better seat. If you do not fill fresh choices, you will be excluded from Round 2 consideration entirely.
This requirement exists because the merit list is revised based on new registrations and withdrawals. Your position in the revised list may change, and your previous choices may no longer be valid or available. Fresh choice filling ensures you are considered for all seats that match your new rank and preferences.
The practical takeaway: do not assume your Round 1 choices carry forward. Log in, review the revised merit list on September 7, and actively select and lock your preferred colleges and courses before the deadline.
What Happens After Seat Allotment?
Once you receive your allotment on September 11, you have one week to report to your assigned college. Reporting runs from September 12 to 18, 2026, with a hard deadline of 6:00 PM on the final day. Bring all original documents for verification: your NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), domicile proof, and any other documents specified by the college.
After reporting and verification, you will complete the admission process and secure your seat. If you are already admitted in Round 1 and have been allotted a better seat in Round 2, you will be upgraded. If you do not report within the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
Candidates who wish to participate in the Mop-Up round (a final round to fill any remaining vacancies) must declare their willingness by September 18 at 11:59 PM. This is optional but can be useful if you want another chance to upgrade.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not assume you are automatically carried forward from Round 1. Even if you were admitted, you must actively participate in Round 2 if you wish to upgrade. Inaction means you lose the opportunity.
Do not skip the edit window. If your personal or academic details are incorrect, use September 5–6 to fix them. After the merit list is published, corrections become much harder.
Do not delay choice filling. Once the revised merit list is out on September 7, fill and lock your choices immediately. Waiting until the last moment risks technical issues or missing the deadline.
Do not miss the reporting deadline. September 18 at 6:00 PM is final. If you do not report, your seat is forfeited, and you may not get another chance in this counselling cycle.
Eligibility Reminders and College-Specific Requirements
All candidates must have qualified NEET UG 2026 to participate. There is no exception to this. Your NEET score and rank determine your eligibility and position in the merit list.
Madhya Pradesh domicile and reservation rules apply for state quota seats. If you are applying for a reserved category seat (SC, ST, OBC, EWS), ensure your certificate is valid and uploaded. Private colleges may have different eligibility criteria; review each college's requirements before locking your choices.
Some colleges may have additional cutoffs or merit thresholds. Check the college-specific eligibility criteria on the official portal before finalizing your choices. If you do not meet a college's minimum cutoff, your choice for that college will not be considered.
What This Means for Your MBBS or BDS Admission
Round 2 is your second and often final chance to secure a seat in an MBBS or BDS programme in Madhya Pradesh. If you missed Round 1 or were allotted a college far from home or with a lower rank, this round offers a real opportunity to improve your outcome.
The compressed timeline reflects the urgency of the process. Medical counselling in India moves fast, and delays can cost you your seat. Treat every deadline as absolute and plan your actions accordingly.
After Round 2, a Mop-Up round may follow to fill any remaining vacancies, but seats are typically limited by then. Treat Round 2 as your primary opportunity and participate fully.
