Madhya Pradesh NEET PG state counselling

DME MP runs online state counselling (Round 1, Round 2, mop-up, then a college-level stray round) for MD/MS seats under the MP Medical Education Admission Rules 2018. Commonest surprise: Round 1 is closed to anyone without an MP MBBS.

  • ~637 government state-quota seats
  • 13 government colleges
  • Official documents, cited

Where 2026 counselling stands

The DME portal now has an 'MP State NEET P.G. Counselling-2026' page, but as of 1 October 2026 it shows only the 2026-27 list of PwD assessment boards. No 2026 registration or round schedule has been published.

Dates move. Always confirm on DME Madhya Pradesh’s official site before you pay a fee or miss a window. This page was last checked against it on 1 October 2026.

How many government seats the state fills

No state publishes this number, so here is how it is built. NMC’s register records the sanctioned PG intake of each government college; MCC’s results record how many of those seats went through the All India Quota. What is left is the state quota — what DME Madhya Pradesh itself allots.

A derived figure. It covers the government colleges NMC’s register could be matched to, so the true state quota is a little larger. Private and deemed colleges are not in it; their seats are counselled under the state’s private, management and NRI rules described below.

Who can apply

  • An amendment of 3 September 2025 requires an MBBS from an NMC-recognised medical college in MP. This is relaxed from Round 2 onward only if no MP graduates are left for a vacancy.
  • Before that amendment, the 2018 rules required MP domicile (mool niwasi). The new text drops residence but does not cite Tanvi Behl v. Shrey Goel.
  • Round 1 2025: candidates from outside MP, or without an MP MBBS, could take only the 50% open seats in private colleges.
  • You must meet the NEET PG percentile for your category, hold permanent or provisional MP Medical Council registration, and have finished internship to NMC norms.
  • NRI quota seats in private colleges are open to eligible NRIs; NRIs may also compete for open unreserved seats on merit.
Seat typeHow it works

Reservation, service and fees

Reservation
Under the rules as amended on 2 July 2024: SC 16%, ST 20% and OBC 14% in all colleges, EWS 10% in government colleges only. Horizontal: women 33%, PwD 5%.
In-service candidates
30% of degree seats go to in-service doctors with at least 3 years' rural, remote or difficult-area service; they must serve 5 years after PG or pay a Rs 50 lakh bond. In 2025 they registered as open category first.
Service bond
Seat-leaving bond once mop-up starts: Rs 30 lakh at government colleges, or the full course fee at private ones. A rural service bond also applies, but its terms weren't found in official sources. In-service: 5 years or Rs 50 lakh.

How the process runs

  1. Create a profile and register on dme.mponline.gov.in; the Rs 1,100 fee is non-refundable. OTPs go to the mobile number registered for NEET PG.
  2. Merit list and vacancies are published, and objections to the vacancy list are heard.
  3. Fill choices and lock them with an OTP, paying a Rs 100 portal fee; re-lock any edited choices.
  4. After allotment, report in person at the allotted college with original documents, pay fees online, and choose upgradation YES or NO.
  5. Round 2: advance deposit before choice filling (government seats Rs 25,000 UR / Rs 12,500 reserved; private Rs 2 lakh; NRI Rs 10 lakh).
  6. Mop-up: registration reopens, then a Rs 2 lakh deposit (Rs 10 lakh for NRI) before choice filling.
  7. Stray round: candidates mark attendance in person at the institute, and seats go in real time by merit, about 10 candidates per vacancy.

How the 2025 session actually ran, for a sense of the pace:

RoundEventDate
Round 1Registration opens24 October 2025
Round 1Allotment result (revised schedule)7 December 2025
Round 2Allotment result24 December 2025
Mop-upAllotment result (after High Court-ordered merit list revision)16 February 2026
Stray vacancyAdmissions at colleges by merit27 February 2026

Keep ready: Allotment order, NEET PG registration copy and score card; MBBS final-year mark sheet (or FMGE pass certificate) and internship completion certificate; MP Medical Council registration; Proof of age (Class 10/12 certificate); Category certificate from an MP authority; EWS certificate issued in MP for FY 2024-25; PwD certificate, if applicable; Aadhaar card copy; Seat-leaving and rural service bonds (or a Rs 500 notarised affidavit if you opted to upgrade); Employer NOC for in-service candidates; NRI documents for NRI seats.

What costs candidates seats here

Round 1 is only for MP MBBS graduates. Outsiders can take only open private-college seats until Round 2.
If you edit choices and don't re-lock them with the OTP, your old locked choices are used for allotment.
If you don't join a Round 2 or mop-up allotment, you lose the advance (Rs 2 lakh or Rs 10 lakh in mop-up) and can't take part further.
If you resign after mop-up begins, the seat-leaving bond applies: Rs 30 lakh at government colleges or the full course fee at private ones.
EWS needs an MP-issued certificate for FY 2024-25, chosen at registration. Picking UR at registration loses EWS benefits.

State quota closing ranks

DME MP publishes round-wise opening/closing tables by college, subject and category, with NEET PG AIR, state merit rank and score. Ranks below are Round 1 closing AIRs, picked where AIR order matches state-rank order; incentive marks distort others.

Madhya Pradesh's government colleges, seat by seat

Each college’s sanctioned PG intake, the share the All India Quota took, and what that leaves the state. The last column is the most competitive All India Quota Open closing rank in the college — a measure of how sought-after it is nationally, not a state cutoff.

The hardest All India Quota seats in Madhya Pradesh last year: MD Radiodiagnosis at GAJRA RAJA MEDICAL COLLEGE GWALIOR (765); MD Radiodiagnosis at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal (946); MD Radiodiagnosis at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Indore (1,227); MD General Medicine at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Indore (1,489); MD Radiodiagnosis at SHYAM SHAH MEDICAL COLLEGE (1,798).
