MP NEET PG Counselling 2026 on Hold: Round 1 Admission Stopped After High Court Order

Overview

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh, has withheld the Round 1 admission process of MP State Combined NEET PG Counselling 2026 with immediate effect. The decision follows an interim order passed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court at Jabalpur on 2nd November 2026 in W.P. No. 44909/2026. The hold stays until the High Court gives further directions, and no fresh schedule has been announced (Source: DME Madhya Pradesh notice dated 3rd November 2026, as reported).

Type

This is a counselling hold notice for MD, MS, Post MBBS DNB and PG Diploma admissions in Madhya Pradesh.

It affects Round 1 admission only. The notice does not cancel the counselling.

Authority

The hold is issued by DME Madhya Pradesh, following an interim order of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur.

The writ petition was filed by open category candidates who challenged the merit list methodology.

What the High Court Ordered

• Interim order date: 2nd November 2026, in W.P. No. 44909/2026.

• In-service quota: reports say the Court directed that seats allotted to in-service candidates must not exceed 30% in any discipline of specialisation.

• Reason for the case: open category candidates said the merit list could deny high-merit candidates their preferred specialisations.

• Hold duration: until further directions or orders of the High Court in the same petition.

Who Is Affected

Every candidate allotted a seat in Round 1 of MP State Combined NEET PG Counselling 2026 is affected, because admission formalities are paused. The notice does not say whether the Round 1 dates or the later rounds will change.

Original Round 1 Schedule

The tentative schedule issued on 12th October 2026 gave the Round 1 allotment result on 29th October. It required in-person reporting, document verification, upgradation option and admission between 30th October and 11th November 2026 (6:00 PM). With the hold in place, admission cannot be completed until the Court allows the process to resume.
