The Commissionerate/Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, Raipur, has issued a notice dated 09 August 2026 extending the deadline for candidates claiming admission under the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category to submit their required eligibility documents for NEET UG 2026 state-level counselling. This is a schedule update, not a fresh application window — it applies specifically to candidates who have applied or intend to seek admission in MBBS or BDS seats under the NRI category through Chhattisgarh's state counselling process. The notice itself, as published on the DME website, does not spell out the exact revised date or the full list of documents in the visible text — these details are contained in the attached PDF. Any candidate affected by this must open the official PDF on the DME Chhattisgarh notice page to confirm the new deadline and the exact document requirements before it closes.
DME Chhattisgarh has extended the submission deadline for NRI eligibility documents for NEET UG 2026 state counselling — candidates under the NRI category must check the official PDF immediately for the new date and required documents.
What this notice is about
This is a date-extension notice, not a new announcement of counselling or a result. It relates specifically to the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category within Chhattisgarh's state-level NEET UG 2026 counselling. Candidates who are seeking admission to MBBS or BDS seats under the NRI quota in Chhattisgarh must submit certain eligibility documents to prove their NRI status and eligibility. The DME has now given more time for this document submission.
Because the source text available here is limited to the notice title, the precise revised date and the full document checklist are not shown in this excerpt. These specifics are given in the official PDF attached to the notice on the DME Chhattisgarh website.
Who this affects
This notice is relevant only to candidates who are applying for, or have been provisionally considered for, admission under the NRI category in Chhattisgarh's state-level NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS/BDS seats. It does not concern candidates applying under the general state quota, management quota, or All India Quota, unless they are also separately claiming NRI eligibility.
Why document submission matters for NRI category claims
In NRI-quota admissions, candidates typically need to prove the sponsor's NRI status and their relationship to the candidate, along with supporting documents such as passport copies, employment or residence proof abroad, and an affidavit — the exact list is set by the counselling authority and given in the PDF for this notice. Missing the submission deadline, or submitting documents that do not match the required format, can lead to a candidate's NRI claim being rejected, which could cost them the seat allotted under that category.
Because document types and formats are strictly checked in NRI quota cases, candidates should not assume any document is acceptable without confirming it against the specific list in the official PDF.
