MP NEET PG 2026 Round 1 cutoff out: report to colleges by November 10

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Madhya Pradesh released the MP NEET PG 2026 Round 1 opening and closing rank list, along with the seat allotment result, on October 29, 2026. This information is available on the official portal, dme.mponline.gov.in. The release supports admissions for MD and MS courses in government and private medical colleges across Madhya Pradesh for the 2026-27 academic session.

A total of 4,776 candidates qualified for the Round 1 merit list. Allotted candidates are required to report to their respective colleges between October 30 and November 10, 2026. The Round 1 cutoff serves as a key reference for subsequent counselling rounds and provides insight into seat movement for future choice filling.

Reporting and Upgradation Options for Allotted Candidates

Candidates who have been allotted seats in Round 1 must report to their designated colleges by 6 PM on November 10, 2026. Failure to report within this deadline will result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat. During the reporting process, students are also required to select either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ for the upgradation option, indicating their interest in participating in subsequent rounds for a better seat. This upgradation choice can be edited until 11:59 PM on November 10, 2026.

The counselling process covers MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses, filling both state quota and private college seats. The vacant seat matrix for Round 2 will be released after the Round 1 reporting period concludes on November 10, 2026.
