14 Seats Left. 14. That’s All.

Only 14 open-category seats remain in Madhya Pradesh’s government medical colleges for NEET UG 2026. That’s it. The rest? Reserved.

Quota-bound. Locked down by category, domicile, and a system that’s already seen its last round of flexibility. The MOP (management options) counselling has begun, and the numbers are stark: 140 seats in public colleges, 692 in private — but only 14 for unreserved candidates. The rest?

Gone. Not just taken, allocated. And the NRI quota? Still floating with 292 spots, priced at ₹10 lakh security deposit.

That’s not a fee. That’s a gate. A price to play. Candidates who’ve scored as high as 594.

The top mark, are still applying for upgradation. But even that won’t change the math. If you’re not in a reserved category, your shot is now a single-digit number. The DME has made it clear: leave after allotment?

Your ₹2 lakh (non-NRI) or ₹10 lakh (NRI) goes straight into the void. No refund. No second chances. The window to revise choices closes on October 7, 2026, at 11:59 pm.

After that, the list freezes. The game ends. And the question isn’t whether someone got in. It’s how many were left out before the final click.
