If you registered for Chhattisgarh's state quota NEET UG counselling, your Round 1 result is now out, and the clock is ticking on what happens next. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Raipur has published seat allotment for MBBS and BDS state quota seats, and every allotted candidate has only until September 3, 2026 to report to their assigned college and finish admission. Missing this window doesn't just delay things — it means losing the seat altogether. This matters even more because Chhattisgarh's counselling calendar runs in parallel with the All India Quota (AIQ) process run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), so accepting a seat here can affect your options elsewhere.
Allotted candidates must download their allotment letter, gather original documents, and report to the assigned college by September 3, 2026, or the seat will be forfeited.
What was announced and when
DME Raipur first published the Chhattisgarh state merit list — the rank list used specifically for this state's quota seats — on August 18, 2026, covering 9,195 candidates who had registered and locked their college and course preferences on the state counselling portal.
Round 1 seat allotment, based on this merit list along with candidates' submitted choices, was released on August 26, 2026 at cgdme.admissions.nic.in. The allotment covers government and private medical and dental colleges, as well as deemed seats notified for the state pool, that remain after seats are carved out for the All India Quota.

How to get your allotment letter
The allotment letter is not emailed or sent by post — it has to be generated by the candidate directly on the DME portal, and it is a mandatory document for reporting at the college.
- Go to cgdme.admissions.nic.in and find the Round 1 Seat Allotment link on the homepage
- Log in using your NEET UG roll number, date of birth and the security pin set during registration
- Your allotment letter, showing the allotted college, course and category status, will display on screen
- Download it and take a clear printout — you will need it at the reporting college
Documents to carry while reporting
Reporting happens in person at the allotted college, not online, so document readiness matters as much as the online step. Colleges typically ask for originals plus two sets of photocopies.
- Round 1 provisional seat allotment letter
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card
- Class 10 marksheet/certificate (proof of date of birth)
- Class 12 marksheet and passing certificate
- Chhattisgarh domicile certificate, where applicable under state rules
- Category certificate for SC, ST, OBC or EWS candidates, if claiming reservation
- Aadhaar card and one other government-issued photo ID
- At least six recent passport-size photographs
- Course fee as prescribed by the allotted college
Why accepting this seat needs careful thought
Chhattisgarh's state counselling and the MCC's All India Quota rounds run on overlapping timelines. If you report and confirm admission against this Round 1 allotment, it can restrict or forfeit your candidature in other ongoing or upcoming rounds, depending on the rules that apply this year for state versus AIQ seat-locking.
Before reporting, read your allotment letter carefully for the exact college name, course (MBBS or BDS) and the category under which the seat was allotted. Confirm the applicable course fee directly with the college, since fee structures vary significantly between government colleges, private colleges and deemed universities within the same state pool.
Only candidates who had registered on the DME portal and locked their choices in time were considered for this round — a reminder that missing registration or choice-filling deadlines in any counselling round can shut you out entirely, regardless of merit rank.
What comes after Round 1
DME Raipur is expected to open registration for Round 2 after Round 1 reporting closes, though the exact schedule has not yet been announced. Candidates who did not get an allotment in Round 1, or who wish to try for a better seat, should keep checking the portal regularly rather than waiting for a personal notification.
Fresh choice filling and an updated seat matrix — reflecting seats vacated by candidates who didn't report, along with any newly notified seats — typically follow in the next round.

What is the last date to report for Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 Round 1?
Allotted candidates must complete reporting and admission formalities at their assigned college by September 3, 2026.
Where do I check my Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 Round 1 allotment result?
The result is available on the official DME Raipur counselling portal at cgdme.admissions.nic.in, using your NEET UG roll number, date of birth and security pin.
What happens if I miss the September 3 reporting deadline?
According to the counselling notice, candidates who fail to report and complete admission by the deadline will lose their allotted seat.
Does this allotment cover both MBBS and BDS seats?
Yes, the Round 1 allotment covers state quota seats for both MBBS and BDS courses across government and private medical/dental colleges in Chhattisgarh.
Will there be a Round 2 for Chhattisgarh NEET UG state quota counselling?
Yes, DME Raipur is expected to open Round 2 registration after Round 1 concludes, though the specific dates have not been released yet — candidates should track the official portal for updates.
Can I accept this seat and still try for an All India Quota seat later?
This depends on the seat-locking and freezing rules in effect for the current counselling cycle. Since Chhattisgarh's state rounds run alongside MCC's AIQ rounds, candidates should carefully check the terms before reporting, as accepting a state quota seat may limit further participation in other rounds.
Is domicile required for the Chhattisgarh state quota seats?
Domicile candidates get first preference for the state quota pool; non-domicile candidates are considered only against seats specifically notified as open to them.
If you have an allotment against your name, don't wait till the last day — download the letter, verify the college and course details, and get your documents and fee arrangements ready well before September 3, 2026. Candidates still waiting for a seat should watch the DME Raipur portal for the Round 2 schedule, since seats vacated by non-reporting candidates typically feed into the next round.
