Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Department of Higher Education (DHE) has released schedule for third additional round of counselling for students seeking admission in NCTE recognised courses such as BEd, MEd, BPEd and MPEd.
Registration for this round opens today, August 27 and will remain active for three days, until August 29. Students will need to complete the application process online through the MPOnline portal. Document verification will take place by August 30, followed by the release of the merit list on September 1.
Seat allotments will be made on September 2 and students will have until September 6 to deposit their admission fees online.

Currently, there are around 67k seats across the state for teacher education programmes. Despite three online and two rounds of counselling conducted between May 15 and August 14, more than 5,500 seats remain vacant.
Following repeated appeals from the Devi Ahilya Private Education College Association, the department approved this additional round to ensure that both institutions and aspiring teachers do not miss out.
Association office-bearers Awadhesh Dave, Abhay Pandey and Sunil Pandya welcomed the decision, stating that students who have already registered in earlier rounds do not need to apply again. They only need to verify their documents to participate in this stage.
Meanwhile, the DHE has also issued a separate order allowing students to change their college, subject, faculty or course. Applications for such transfers or even admission cancellations can be submitted online between August 26 and September 15. Education expert Dr Rajiv Jhalani emphasised that no applications will be accepted after September 15.
