The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh conducts the Chhattisgarh NEET-UG MBBS Counselling for admission to 85% of state quota MBBS seats in government and participating private medical colleges based on NEET-UG 2026 merit. There will be no offline management or interference with the admission process; it will be entirely merit-based based on NEET-UG 2026. You must qualify for NEET-UG 2026 and register with the DME to be eligible for counselling, then appear in the state merit list.
The counselling process for Chhattisgarh will be completely online, and the counselling process will consist of Round 1, Round 2, Mop Up Round and Stray Vacancy Round.
- Register and pay the fee online and read the state merit list;
- Fill and lock your preferences for colleges/courses; and
- Based on your NEET rank, category (if applicable), reservation (if applicable) and college/courses availability, you will be allocated a seat.
Once allocated a seat, you must report to the college where you were allocated a seat within the specified time frame to complete the document verification and student registration processes. Failing to report or provide incorrect documentation will result in the cancellation of your allocated seat. The cut-offs will vary from year to year and will typically fall in the later rounds of the counselling process. The Chhattisgarh NEET-UG MBBS Counselling process is designed to be transparent, timely and strict. Missed deadlines or a lack of planning will result in the loss of a seat in an MBBS program.
