The Commissionerate/Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, Raipur, has put out a notice dated 7 August 2026 specifically for NEET UG 2026 candidates who want to claim eligibility under the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category in the state-level counselling for MBBS and BDS admissions in Chhattisgarh. This is an important announcement, not a full schedule or result — it flags a requirement that anyone applying under the NRI category must follow. The detailed instructions, including whatever documents or proof DME wants, are contained in the official PDF attached to this notice on the DME Chhattisgarh website. Because the notice text itself only gives the heading and points to a PDF, candidates must open that PDF to see the exact conditions, forms, or deadlines that apply to them.
If you are claiming NRI category eligibility for Chhattisgarh's NEET UG 2026 state counselling, you must read the official PDF attached to this DME notice — it lays out the specific proof and process DME requires.
What This Notice Is About
This is a notice from the Chhattisgarh DME addressed to a specific group of candidates: those who intend to claim eligibility under the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category for admission through the state-level NEET UG 2026 counselling.
The notice was published on 7 August 2026. Its title translates to: 'Important information for candidates claiming NRI eligibility for state-level counselling for NEET UG admission year 2026.' The full content — such as the documents needed, the format of any certificate, or a submission deadline — is contained in the PDF linked from this notice, not in the notice text itself.
Who Should Pay Attention
This notice matters only to candidates who plan to apply for a seat in Chhattisgarh's MBBS/BDS state counselling under the NRI category — that is, candidates whose eligibility for a seat is based on themselves or a sponsoring relative living or working abroad, rather than on the general or state domicile quota.
If you are applying only under the general merit or Chhattisgarh domicile categories and are not claiming any NRI-related benefit, this particular notice does not apply to you.
Why NRI Category Notices Matter So Much
Across states, NRI quota admissions are among the most document-heavy and easiest categories to get disqualified from. Authorities typically ask for very specific proof of the NRI relationship (such as a sponsor's passport, visa, employment or residence proof abroad, and a notarised affidavit establishing the relationship with the candidate), and these documents often need to be issued within a certain time frame or in a particular format.
Because the exact requirements for this Chhattisgarh 2026 notice are contained only in the attached PDF, MedAdmit cannot list the specific documents or deadline here without seeing that PDF. Candidates should not assume the requirements are the same as in previous years — states frequently tighten or change the list of acceptable NRI proof from one counselling cycle to the next.
What You Should Do Next
Since this notice specifically calls out something 'necessary' for NRI claimants, treat it as a compliance step, not optional reading. Open the PDF linked to this notice on the DME Chhattisgarh website (cgdme.in) and read it in full before you fill or submit any NRI-category claim in the counselling form.
Keep a copy of the PDF and any forms or formats it prescribes, and start collecting the underlying documents (passport copies, sponsor proof, affidavits, etc., if the PDF asks for these) well before the counselling submission window, since such documents can take time to notarise or obtain from abroad.
- Visit cgdme.in and locate this notice (dated 7 August 2026) under the Notice section.
- Download and read the full PDF attached to the notice.
- Check if any format, affidavit, or certificate the PDF asks for needs to be arranged in advance.
- Watch for any deadline mentioned in the PDF for submitting NRI-related proof.
- If in doubt, contact the DME Chhattisgarh counselling helpline before the counselling round closes.

What does this notice actually say?
It announces that DME Chhattisgarh has released important information for candidates claiming NRI (Non-Resident Indian) eligibility in the state-level NEET UG 2026 counselling. The detailed requirements are in an attached PDF, not in the notice text itself.
Does this notice apply to me if I'm applying under the general or state quota only?
No. This notice is specifically for candidates claiming eligibility under the NRI category. If you are not claiming any NRI-related benefit, it does not apply to you.
What documents do I need to prove NRI eligibility?
The notice content available to us does not list the specific documents — they are in the linked PDF on the official DME Chhattisgarh website. Candidates must check that PDF directly rather than assume last year's list still applies.
Is there a deadline mentioned for NRI candidates?
No deadline is given in the notice text we have. Check the attached PDF on cgdme.in for any dates it specifies.
Where can I find the full notice?
On the Chhattisgarh DME website, cgdme.in, under the Notice section, dated 7 August 2026, with a 'View PDF' link containing the complete instructions.
Is this notice for NEET UG 2026 or an earlier year?
It is for NEET UG admission year 2026, as stated in the notice title.
What happens if I don't follow this notice's requirements?
The notice text does not spell out consequences, but in NRI-quota counselling generally, failing to submit the correct proof in the required format can lead to rejection of the NRI category claim. Read the full PDF to avoid this risk.
Candidates claiming NRI eligibility for Chhattisgarh's NEET UG 2026 state counselling should open the official PDF attached to this DME notice right away and start arranging the documents it asks for. Don't wait until the counselling window is open — NRI proof, especially anything needing notarisation or documents from abroad, can take time to gather.
