MP DTE 2026 Round 1 seat allotment for SC and ST category is expected to be released around July 1, 2026 at dte.mponline.gov.in, with SC category JEE Main CRL closing ranks projected between approximately 18,000 and 1,20,000 and ST category between 32,000 and 1,80,000 across government and private engineering colleges in Madhya Pradesh.

DTE Madhya Pradesh conducts state-level engineering counselling for B.E./B.Tech admissions based on JEE Main scores. Round 1 is the first major seat distribution phase of the MP DTE counselling process, and SC and ST students have dedicated reserved seats in every participating institution. Knowing expected closing ranks helps you assess your chances and finalise your college preference list before the official allotment is declared.

  • SC students in MP receive 16% reservation and ST students receive 20% reservation in government and private aided engineering colleges under MP DTE counselling norms.
  • Round 1 closing ranks are generally tighter (lower numerically) at top colleges — later rounds tend to open seats only in less-preferred branches and smaller institutions.
  • Government colleges such as SGSITS Indore and UIT RGPV Bhopal are expected to fill most SC and ST seats in Round 1 itself due to high demand.
  • After allotment, you must pay the seat acceptance fee and report to the allotted college within the DTE-prescribed deadline to secure your admission.
