Bhopal | September 19, 2026
The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh has pushed back the last date for admission under Round 2 of MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling 2026. As per the official notice dated September 18, 2026, candidates now have until September 19, 2026, 6:00 PM to complete their second-round admission.
The one-page notice, issued by the Office of the Commissioner, Public Health & Medical Education, Bhopal, simply states that the last date for second-round admission has been extended to 19.09.2026 (6:00 PM). It carries the signature of the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh.
What's Changed?
Earlier, the Round 2 admission deadline was set for September 18, 2026. The new notice moves that deadline to September 19, 2026, 6 PM. Under the original Round 2 schedule, candidates were supposed to report at their allotted medical or dental college for document verification and admission between September 12 and 18.

Candidates allotted a seat in Round 2 who still need to complete admission |
It's worth noting that this notice only talks about extending the admission date — it doesn't say anything about other activities like resignation or upgradation being extended as well.
Who Does This Extension Actually Affect?
This update mainly matters for candidates who got a Round 2 allotment and still need to finish their admission at the allotted college.
MP's Round 2 counselling covers MBBS/BDS seat admissions through the state system, and the original schedule had candidates reporting at their allotted college for document verification and admission.
If you've already completed your admission, you generally don't need to do anything extra just because of this extension.
So, What Should Round 2 Candidates Do Now?
If you haven't finished your admission yet, use this extra time to complete whatever formalities DME MP and your allotted college require.
This usually includes reporting at the college, getting your documents verified, submitting the required paperwork, and paying the admission fee — but it's best to follow your allotment letter and your college's specific instructions for the exact requirements.
Important: just downloading your allotment letter or logging into the counselling portal doesn't count as completing your admission. You still need to finish the actual formalities at your allotted college before the deadline.
A Quick Look Back at the Round 2 Timeline
Before this extension, here's what the MP Round 2 schedule looked like:
|
Round 2 Activity |
Schedule for 2026 |
|
Fresh registration/editing |
September 5–6 |
|
Vacancy and eligible-candidate information |
September 7 |
|
Choice filling and locking |
September 7–9 |
|
Round 2 allotment |
September 11 |
|
Reporting/document verification/admission |
September 12–18, up to 6 PM |
|
Upgradation-related option |
September 12–18, up to 11:59 PM |
|
Resignation/cancellation |
September 12–18, up to 5 PM |
The September 18 DME notice only changes the admission deadline to September 19, 6 PM — so don't assume the resignation or upgradation deadlines have also shifted to September 19.
Why This Matters
This extension gives candidates who hadn't completed their admission by the earlier deadline a bit more breathing room. Since the new cut-off is 6 PM on September 19, anyone with pending admission formalities should get them done before then, rather than waiting for another announcement.
The official notice itself is quite brief — it doesn't explain why the deadline was extended, and it doesn't mention any further extension beyond September 19.
One Important Thing to Keep Separate
Candidates should be clear about the difference between:
- Admission deadline: September 19, 2026, 6:00 PM — extended by the September 18 DME notice.
- Other Round 2 activities: The earlier schedule had its own separate deadlines for upgradation and resignation, and the extension notice does not change those dates.
This distinction matters especially for candidates thinking about resigning their seat or moving to a later round.
