UG admissions in MP nearly full; PG lags despite extra round
Indore: Undergraduate (UG) admissions in Madhya Pradesh reached 3.58 lakh, leaving few seats vacant, while postgraduate (PG) admissions continued to lag with only 1.06 lakh enrolments despite an extended college level counselling (CLC) round. Teacher education programmes under the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) also saw strong demand, with 65,000 admissions against 68,000 seats. The department of higher education (DHE) earlier extended the admission process for UG and PG courses through an additional CLC round until August 14, following requests from students and colleges. While the PG admission deadline has now been extended further until August 30, UG and NCTE courses have been closed without a fresh extension. The extended window had a significant impact on overall enrolments. On August 3, before the additional CLC round began, UG admissions stood at 3.18 lakh, PG at 79,286, and NCTE at 60,060. Within ten days, the numbers surged sharply, with UG rising by 40,000, PG by 27,000, and NCTE by nearly 5,000. In total, around 70,000 students secured admissions during the short extension period. Yet, the contrast between UG and PG courses remains striking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

In PG courses, however, just over half of the two lakh seats have been occupied, raising concerns over the waning appeal of postgraduate studies. Dr Tulsiram Dahayat, OSD, DHE, said, "Undergraduate admissions have touched near-total capacity, which is a positive sign. The PG window has been extended so that more students can complete the process, and we expect further growth by month-end." With the current tally crossing 4.29 lakh across UG, PG, and NCTE courses against around 6.2 lakh seats, Madhya Pradesh is witnessing one of its strongest admission seasons in recent years.

Half of seats in MP colleges vacant after 3rd counselling
Indore: Despite three rounds of counselling, nearly half of the 6.5 lakh seats available across undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and teacher education courses in Madhya Pradesh remain vacant. So far, over 3.4 lakh students secured admissions for the 2025–26 academic session, prompting the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to consider conducting another CLC round to maximise seat utilisation. Admissions for CLC round closed on Thursday for UG and NCTE courses. Of the total admissions, more than 2.4 lakh students enrolled in UG programmes, around 62,000 through the first College Level Counselling (CLC) round and over 1.8 lakh in the earlier phases of online counselling. Teacher education courses regulated by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) witnessed one of the highest response rates among all programmes, with over 50,000 admissions secured against 58,000 available seats. The high enrolment in NCTE courses highlights a continued demand among students to enter the teaching profession. Postgraduate admissions are also progressing, with more than 48,000 students already admitted. The registration window for the PG CLC round closed on Thursday, with over 25,000 fresh registrations recorded. DHE revised the PG admission schedule following directions from the high court. Applicants for subjects outside the major-minor format will receive interview notifications with details of date, time, and venue by July 14. Interviews will be held between July 16 and 17, with colleges entering the marks on the admission portal soon after. PG seat allotment will be released on July 21, and selected students must complete fee payment between July 21 and 25 to confirm their admission. "The CLC round concluded with encouraging numbers, and a substantial number of students also registered for PG programmes," said Dr Tulsiram Dahayat, officer on special duty, DHE. With nearly half the seats still vacant after three rounds of counselling, another round of admissions is likely to follow to ensure maximum seat utilisation.

"This year, the admissions were done through a mobile app, which made the process easier for students. They did not have to visit kiosks or colleges. Help centres at govt colleges further supported students," Dahayat added. As per official data, over 70% of students completed the registration process through their mobile phones, highlighting the growing digital adoption in higher education enrolments. With no third round of centralized counselling scheduled this year, DHE will conduct College Level Counselling (CLC) following the second-round allotment. The CLC will begin on June 25, during which individual colleges will release merit lists and students will be required to register online for seats available at institutional level.
