Unlock My College ListWhat This Notice Is About
This is an official notice from Chhattisgarh's Directorate of Medical Education announcing the document verification process for candidates who have applied for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota seats in the second round of NEET PG 2026 counselling. The NRI quota is a separate set of seats reserved for Indian citizens living abroad or holding foreign passports; to claim these seats, you must prove your NRI status with specific documents.
The notice does not announce results, allotments, or counselling dates — it is purely about the verification of NRI eligibility. If you are an NRI candidate who has been called for counselling in Round 2, you must attend document verification or your application will be rejected and you will lose your chance at an NRI quota seat.
Who Must Attend Document Verification
You must attend if: (1) you applied for NEET PG 2026 counselling in Chhattisgarh under the NRI quota category, AND (2) you have been called for verification by DME (check the official DME website or your counselling portal for your name on the verification list). The notice applies only to NRI quota candidates; if you applied under General, SC, ST, OBC or other state/central quotas, this notice does not apply to you.
Even if you have been provisionally allotted a seat in Round 1, you must still complete NRI eligibility verification in Round 2 to confirm your seat. Skipping verification will result in cancellation of your allotment.
Important: The PDF Contains Full Details
This notice is issued in Hindi and the full details — including the exact list of required documents, verification dates, times, venue, and the step-by-step verification process — are contained in the PDF file linked on the DME website. The HTML notice page you are reading is only a header; you MUST download and read the complete PDF to know what documents to bring and when to report.
Do not assume you know what documents are needed. Download the PDF immediately from the DME Chhattisgarh website (cgdme.in) and read it in full. The PDF will specify: (a) which documents prove NRI status (e.g., passport, visa, OCI certificate, PIO card, or proof of foreign residence), (b) the exact date and time you must report, (c) the venue (college or DME office), and (d) what happens if you do not attend.

What Documents You Will Likely Need (Verify in PDF)
NRI quota eligibility is typically proved using one or more of the following. However, the exact list is in the PDF — do not rely on this section alone. Common documents include: (1) valid Indian passport showing foreign residence or visa stamps, (2) visa or travel document showing current residence outside India, (3) OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) certificate, (4) PIO (Person of Indian Origin) card, (5) proof of foreign employment (employment letter, salary slip, work permit), (6) proof of foreign residence (utility bill, rental agreement, bank statement showing foreign address), (7) affidavit on stamp paper declaring NRI status, (8) birth certificate or other proof of Indian citizenship.
You will also need to bring: (a) your NEET PG 2026 admit card and roll number, (b) your counselling registration number, (c) original and photocopies of all documents, (d) a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence), and (e) any other document specified in the PDF notice. Bring MORE copies than you think you need — do not assume the verification centre will have a photocopier.

- Current visa or travel document

- PIO (Person of Indian Origin) card
- Proof of foreign employment (letter, salary slip, work permit)
- Proof of foreign residence (utility bill, rental agreement, bank statement)

Verification Schedule and Venue
The notice does not specify the dates, times, or venue in the HTML header — these details are in the PDF. You MUST download the PDF to find out: (1) the exact date(s) on which verification will be held, (2) the time you must report, (3) the venue (which college or DME office), and (4) whether you have a specific time slot or must come on a first-come-first-served basis.
Mark the verification date(s) on your calendar immediately after reading the PDF. Verification is usually held over 2–5 days. If you miss your date or time slot, you will not be allowed to verify later, and your candidature will be cancelled. If you have a genuine emergency (medical, family), contact DME immediately — do not assume you can verify late.
How the Verification Process Works
On the verification date, you will report to the designated venue with all your original documents and photocopies. A verification committee (usually comprising DME officials and college representatives) will examine your documents to confirm that you meet the NRI quota eligibility criteria. They will check: (1) that you are an Indian citizen, (2) that you are currently residing outside India or hold a foreign passport, (3) that your documents are genuine and not forged, and (4) that your NRI status is valid as of the counselling date.
The committee will mark your documents as 'verified' or 'not verified'. If verified, your NRI quota candidature is confirmed and you will proceed to seat allotment. If not verified (e.g., documents are incomplete, forged, or do not prove NRI status), your NRI quota application will be rejected and you may be considered under a different quota (if eligible) or your candidature may be cancelled entirely. The decision is final; there is usually no appeal.
Common Mistakes That Get NRI Applications Rejected
**Incomplete or expired documents:** If your passport has expired, your visa has expired, or your OCI/PIO certificate is not current, verification will fail. Bring only valid, current documents. **Forged or tampered documents:** Any sign of forgery (altered dates, photocopied signatures, inconsistent ink) will result in immediate rejection and may trigger legal action. **Missing proof of Indian citizenship:** You must prove you are an Indian citizen (passport, birth certificate, or Aadhaar). Without this, NRI status cannot be verified. **No proof of current foreign residence:** If you claim to be an NRI but have no document showing you live outside India (e.g., no foreign address on passport, no utility bill, no employment letter), verification will fail.

**Not bringing originals:** Photocopies alone are not accepted. You must bring original documents for the committee to inspect. **Bringing documents in a language other than English or Hindi:** If your foreign documents are in another language, bring a certified English translation. **Arriving late or on the wrong date:** If you miss your verification slot, you will not be allowed to verify. Mark the date and time clearly and arrive 15 minutes early. **Not bringing a photo ID:** You must prove your identity with a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence). Without it, you will not be allowed to proceed.
What Happens After Verification
Once your NRI eligibility is verified, you will be included in the NRI quota merit list for Round 2 seat allotment. Your rank in the merit list is based on your NEET PG score and category (if applicable). Seats will be allotted in order of merit. If you are allotted a seat, you will be notified via the counselling portal and SMS; you must then report to the allotted college for admission formalities (document verification, fee payment, hostel registration, etc.) by the date specified.
If your NRI eligibility is NOT verified, you will be removed from the NRI quota list. Depending on your eligibility, you may be considered under a different quota (e.g., General, if you are from the general category) in a subsequent round, or your candidature may be cancelled. Check the counselling portal regularly for updates on your status.
How to Prepare for Verification
**Step 1: Download the PDF notice immediately.** Go to cgdme.in, find the notice dated 14 Nov. 2026, and download the PDF. Read it in full and note the verification date, time, and venue. **Step 2: Gather all required documents.** Collect your passport, visa, OCI/PIO certificate, proof of foreign residence, proof of employment, and any other document listed in the PDF. Check that all documents are original, current, and not damaged. **Step 3: Make photocopies.** Photocopy every document at least twice (one set for the committee, one for your records). **Step 4: Organize your documents.** Arrange them in the order specified in the PDF (if given) or in a logical order (passport first, then visa, then residence proof, etc.). Use a folder or envelope to keep them together.
**Step 5: Prepare your photo ID and counselling documents.** Bring your NEET PG admit card, counselling registration number, and a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or driving licence). **Step 6: Arrive early.** On the verification date, arrive at the venue at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Bring all documents in a bag; do not leave anything at home. **Step 7: Be honest and clear.** When the committee asks questions about your NRI status, answer truthfully and clearly. Do not volunteer extra information or make claims you cannot back up with documents.
If You Cannot Attend Verification
If you have a genuine emergency (serious illness, death in the family, accident) and cannot attend verification on the scheduled date, contact the DME office immediately — do not wait until after the deadline. Provide a written request with supporting documents (medical certificate, death certificate, etc.) and ask for a postponement or alternative verification date. The DME may grant a one-time extension, but this is at their discretion and is not guaranteed.
If you do not attend verification and do not request a postponement, your NRI quota candidature will be automatically cancelled. You will not be able to appeal or verify later. There is no 'grace period' — the verification date is final.
