Along with the MP NEET UG 2026 counselling, the Directorate of Medical Education has published the reservation rules and the scholarship schemes that can cut what you pay for an MBBS or BDS seat. Knowing your category and the scholarships you can claim before counselling saves money and avoids last-minute document trouble.
EWS reservation
Economically Weaker Section (EWS) is a reservation category for general-category candidates whose family meets the income and asset limits. To claim an EWS seat you need a valid EWS certificate in the prescribed format. Read the EWS guidelines (with amendments) for the exact eligibility and certificate rules.
Scholarships that help with fees
- Post-matric scholarships (SC, ST, OBC): government scholarships that help eligible SC, ST and OBC students with course fees and maintenance during higher studies. Eligibility is linked to your family income; each scheme has its own rules (linked below).
- Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana (MMVY): pays tuition fees for meritorious Madhya Pradesh students in professional courses, including MBBS, subject to the Class 12 marks and family-income limits in the order.
- Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Shiksha Protsahan) Yojana (MMJKY): a Madhya Pradesh education-support scheme; check the rules for who is covered and how to apply.
Exact marks, income limits and scholarship amounts are in the official orders below. Read the scheme that applies to you rather than relying on hearsay.
Amended proforma
The Directorate has amended Proforma No. 7 and No. 9 used in the counselling. If you need either, use the amended version (linked below).
Before you fill choices, check last year’s Madhya Pradesh closing ranks and use the college predictor to see which seats fit your rank. See also our MP registration how-to and the Round 1 schedule, and our Madhya Pradesh counselling guide.
