Madhya Pradesh NEET PG 2025: Round 1 Resignation Window Schedule Update

Date: December 18, 2025

For NEET-PG 2025 candidates who were allotted a seat in the first round of Madhya Pradesh state counselling, a critical administrative window is about to open. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh has officially announced the dates for the Round 1 Resignation process.

This carefully defined period is the only official channel for candidates to voluntarily vacate their Round 1 allotted seat. Whether you are seeking an upgrade in Round 2, have secured a seat elsewhere, or wish to withdraw from the process, completing this resignation within the strict 25-hour window is mandatory to avoid penalties and ensure your future eligibility. This guide provides a clear breakdown of the resignation schedule, the process, and its significant implications.

Key Information

Who Should Consider This Resignation?

This window is specifically for candidates who meet the following criteria:

• Allotted a seat in MP NEET PG 2025 Round 1.
• Wish to voluntarily give up that seat.

The primary reasons for resignation are:

1. To participate in Round 2 for an upgrade.
2. To accept a seat in another state's counselling or All India Quota (AIQ).
3. To withdraw from the admission process for any personal or professional reason.

Important Distinction: This resignation window is for online resignation. It is separate from the "Upgradation Willingness" decision that candidates make during physical reporting for Round 2 (as per the earlier MP schedule for Dec 25-29). This online step must be completed first if you wish to vacate your seat.

The Resignation Window

The DME has provided a very specific and short window for this action.

Critical Note: The resignation link will not be accessible before 4:00 PM on Dec 17 and will be permanently deactivated at 5:00 PM on Dec 18. There will be no extensions. Candidates must plan to complete the process well within this period.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Resignation Process

The resignation is expected to be an online process through the DME MP counselling portal.

Step 1: Pre-Process Preparation (Before 4 PM, Dec 17)

• Read the Official Notice: Review the PDF linked above to understand all official terms and conditions.
• Secure Login Credentials: Ensure you remember your Candidate ID and Password for the dme.mponline.gov.in portal.
• Make a Final Decision: Resignation is often irreversible. Be certain of your decision to vacate the seat, understanding you may not get a better one later.

Step 2: Executing the Resignation (Between Dec 17, 4 PM - Dec 18, 5 PM)

1. Log In: Access your candidate dashboard on the DME MP counselling portal.
2. Locate the Resignation Link: Look for a dedicated button or link labeled "Resignation," "Seat Relinquishment," or similar, which will become active at the scheduled time.
3. Confirm the Action: The system will likely ask for confirmation. You may need to state your reason for resignation.
4. Final Submission: Submit the resignation request. The system should generate a Resignation Acknowledgement Receipt or ID.
5. Download & Save Proof: Crucially, download and save this receipt/acknowledgement. Take multiple prints. This is your only proof of having resigned within the official window.

Step 3: Post-Resignation Steps

• Check Status: Your candidate portal status should update to reflect "Resigned" or "Seat Vacated."
• Await Further Instructions: If you are resigning to participate in MP's Round 2, ensure you are prepared for the next steps (like choice filling, if applicable).
• Refund Inquiry: For queries regarding the refund of the security deposit, refer to the official counselling rules. The resignation receipt will be essential for this process.

Essential Instructions & Warnings

1. The Deadline is Absolute: The 5:00 PM cutoff on December 18th is final. Technical issues or personal delays will not be entertained as excuses after the portal closes.
2. Resignation is Often Irreversible: Once you resign and submit, you cannot cancel the action or reclaim the same seat. Proceed with certainty.
3. Proof of Resignation is Crucial: The Resignation Acknowledgement Receipt is a critical document. Without it, you may face difficulties in claiming security deposit refunds or proving you resigned on time.
4. Not a Guarantee for Upgrade: Resigning frees you from the Round 1 seat but does not guarantee a new allotment in Round 2. Your new allotment will depend on your merit and seat availability.
5. Separate from Round 2 Reporting: Remember, MP has a separate "Upgradation Willingness" step during physical reporting (Dec 25-29). This online resignation is the prerequisite to make you eligible for a new seat in Round 2.

Final Action Plan for Candidates:

• Before 4 PM, Dec 17: Make your final decision. Read the official notice. Keep login details ready.
• Dec 17, 4 PM - Dec 18, 5 PM: Log in to the DME portal, locate the resignation link, complete the process, and download/save the acknowledgement receipt.
• After Resignation: Check your portal status. Keep the receipt safe for refund claims. Prepare for the next steps in your admission journey.

This resignation window is a pivotal administrative step. Treat it with the same importance as choice filling or reporting. Timely and correct action here protects your eligibility and financial deposit.
