The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, has issued a notice extending the deadline for students who have been allotted seats in Round 1 of NEET UG 2026 counselling to resign or withdraw from their seats. This extension gives candidates more time to make a final decision about their allotted college and course before the withdrawal window closes. If you have been allotted a seat in Round 1 and are considering withdrawing, this notice directly affects you — missing the new deadline will lock you into your current allotment.
The deadline to resign or withdraw from your Round 1 allotted seat in Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 counselling has been extended; check the new date carefully and act before it closes.
What This Notice Is About
This is an official announcement from Chhattisgarh DME that extends the deadline for seat withdrawal in Round 1 of NEET UG 2026 counselling. If you have already been allotted a seat (MBBS or BDS) in Round 1 and wish to resign from it — either to participate in a later round, to try for a different college, or to withdraw from the process entirely — you now have until the new extended date to do so.
Seat withdrawal (also called seat resignation or seat cancellation) is a formal process. Once you withdraw, your seat becomes available for other candidates, and you may be eligible to participate in subsequent counselling rounds if you choose. The extension means the original deadline has been pushed back, giving you additional time to make this important decision.
Who This Applies To
This notice applies only to candidates who have been allotted a seat in Round 1 of Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 counselling. This includes students allotted to MBBS or BDS courses at any college in Chhattisgarh (government or private) through the state counselling process.
If you have not yet been allotted a seat, or if you are waiting for a later round, this notice does not require immediate action from you. However, if you are unsure whether you have been allotted, check the official counselling portal or your admission status before the deadline.
- Candidates with a confirmed Round 1 seat allotment
- Both MBBS and BDS course holders
- Students at government and private colleges in Chhattisgarh
Important Dates — The Extended Deadline
The notice issued on 10 September 2026 announces an extension to the seat withdrawal deadline. However, the notice document provided does not explicitly state the original deadline or the new extended deadline date. To find the exact new last date to withdraw your seat, you must download and read the full PDF notice from the DME Chhattisgarh website (cgdme.in).
Do not assume or guess the deadline. Visit the official DME portal, locate the notice dated 10 September 2026, and note the new date clearly. Mark it on your calendar and set a reminder — missing this deadline means you cannot withdraw and will be locked into your Round 1 allotment.

Why the Deadline Was Extended
Counselling deadlines are sometimes extended to give candidates more time to make informed decisions, to account for technical issues, or to allow students to complete necessary documentation or verification. The extension is a courtesy to ensure no eligible candidate is unfairly locked into a seat due to a rushed timeline.
If you were uncertain about your allotted college or course, or if you needed time to arrange documents or verify your eligibility for a later round, this extension provides that opportunity. Use it wisely.
How to Withdraw or Resign Your Seat
The exact step-by-step process for withdrawing your seat should be detailed in the full PDF notice. Typically, seat withdrawal in Chhattisgarh counselling is done online through the official counselling portal (cgdme.in or the designated portal). You will log in with your credentials, navigate to your allotment, and select the option to resign or withdraw.
Some counselling systems allow withdrawal through a simple online form; others may require you to visit the college or a designated counselling centre in person. The notice PDF will clarify which method applies. Do not attempt to withdraw by email or phone — use only the official portal or the method specified in the notice.
After you submit a withdrawal request, you should receive a confirmation. Keep this confirmation for your records. Once withdrawn, you will no longer hold that seat, and you may be eligible to participate in subsequent counselling rounds (if they are held) or to apply elsewhere.
- Log in to the official counselling portal with your credentials
- Locate your Round 1 allotment
- Select the withdrawal/resignation option
- Submit the request before the extended deadline
- Save and print the confirmation
What Happens After You Withdraw
Once your seat withdrawal is processed and confirmed, your seat is cancelled and becomes available for other candidates. You will no longer be bound to that college or course. If there are subsequent counselling rounds (Round 2, Round 3, etc.), you may be eligible to participate in them, depending on your rank and the seats available.
Withdrawing does not disqualify you from future rounds or from the counselling process. However, if you withdraw and no further rounds are held, you will not have a seat. Ensure you understand the full counselling schedule before withdrawing.
- Your seat is released and available for other candidates
- You are no longer bound to that college or course
- You may be eligible for subsequent counselling rounds
- Withdrawal does not affect your NEET score or eligibility
Common Reasons to Withdraw a Seat
Students withdraw seats for various reasons: they may have been allotted a college far from home, they may prefer to wait for a better college in a later round, they may have received a seat in a less preferred course, or they may have personal or financial constraints. Withdrawal is your right as a candidate.
However, withdrawal is a serious decision. Once you withdraw, you lose that guaranteed seat. If no better option comes in a later round, you may end up without a seat. Consult your parents, teachers, or a counsellor before withdrawing, especially if you are unsure about future rounds.
- Allotted college is too far or inconvenient
- Hoping for a better college in a later round
- Allotted course is not your preference
- Personal or financial reasons
- Considering other educational paths
Critical Trap: Missing the Deadline
⚠️ The most common mistake is not checking the exact new deadline and missing it. The notice extends the deadline, but if you do not read the PDF and note the new date, you may assume the old deadline still applies and miss the withdrawal window entirely.
If you miss the deadline, you cannot withdraw. You will be locked into your Round 1 allotment. You will be required to report to the college, complete admission formalities, and pay fees. Withdrawing after the deadline is not possible without special permission from the DME, which is rarely granted.
Action: Download the PDF notice from cgdme.in right now. Find the new deadline. Write it down. Set a phone reminder for 2–3 days before the deadline. Do not procrastinate.
- ⚠️ The exact new deadline is in the PDF notice — download it immediately
- ⚠️ Missing the deadline locks you into your Round 1 seat permanently
- ⚠️ Late withdrawal requests are almost never accepted
- ✅ Confirm the deadline in writing and set a reminder
Documents and Eligibility
To withdraw your seat, you typically need only your login credentials (registration number and password) for the counselling portal. No additional documents are usually required for a simple withdrawal.
However, if the notice specifies any additional requirements (such as a letter from your college, a form to be filled, or an in-person visit), those will be detailed in the PDF. Check the full notice to ensure you have everything needed.
- Counselling portal login credentials (registration number and password)
- Any additional documents specified in the full PDF notice
Fees and Financial Impact
Withdrawing your seat does not typically incur a fee. However, if you have already paid admission fees to the college, those fees may or may not be refundable depending on the college's refund policy and the timing of your withdrawal. Check with your allotted college about their refund policy before withdrawing.
The notice does not mention any fee for the withdrawal process itself, so assume it is free. But clarify the fee refund situation with your college immediately.
- Withdrawal process: typically no fee
- Admission fees already paid: check college refund policy
- Confirm refund eligibility before withdrawing

What is seat withdrawal or resignation in counselling?
Seat withdrawal (also called resignation or cancellation) is the formal process of giving up your allotted seat in a counselling round. Once you withdraw, your seat is released and becomes available for other candidates. You are no longer bound to that college or course, and you may be eligible to participate in subsequent counselling rounds if they are held.
Why has the deadline been extended?
The notice announces an extension to the seat withdrawal deadline, giving candidates more time to decide whether to keep or resign their Round 1 allotment. The exact reason for the extension is not stated in the notice summary, but extensions are typically granted to ensure candidates have adequate time to make informed decisions.
What is the new deadline to withdraw my seat?
The notice issued on 10 September 2026 extends the deadline, but the exact new date is not visible in this summary. You must download the full PDF notice from cgdme.in to find the precise deadline. Do not guess — check the official notice immediately and mark the date clearly.
What happens if I miss the withdrawal deadline?
If you miss the deadline, you cannot withdraw your seat. You will be locked into your Round 1 allotment and will be required to report to the college, complete admission formalities, and pay fees. Late withdrawal requests are almost never accepted, so missing the deadline is a serious mistake.
Can I withdraw my seat after the deadline with special permission?
Withdrawing after the deadline is extremely difficult and rarely permitted. The DME may grant special permission only in exceptional circumstances (serious illness, family emergency, etc.), and even then, it is not guaranteed. Do not rely on this — withdraw before the deadline if you intend to.
If I withdraw, can I participate in the next counselling round?
Yes, if subsequent counselling rounds are held (Round 2, Round 3, etc.), you may be eligible to participate in them after withdrawing from Round 1. However, you will not have a guaranteed seat in those rounds — your eligibility will depend on your rank and the seats available. Check the full counselling schedule to understand what rounds are planned.
Will I get a refund of my admission fees if I withdraw?
The notice does not mention fee refunds. If you have already paid admission fees to your allotted college, check the college's refund policy to see if fees are refundable upon withdrawal. Refund policies vary by college, so contact your college directly before withdrawing.
How do I withdraw my seat online?
You typically withdraw through the official counselling portal (cgdme.in or the designated portal). Log in with your credentials, locate your Round 1 allotment, select the withdrawal or resignation option, and submit. The exact steps should be detailed in the full PDF notice. Do not attempt to withdraw by email or phone — use only the official portal.
What documents do I need to withdraw my seat?
For a simple online withdrawal, you typically need only your counselling portal login credentials (registration number and password). If the notice specifies any additional requirements, those will be listed in the full PDF. Check the official notice to be sure.
Is there a fee to withdraw my seat?
The notice does not mention any fee for the withdrawal process itself, so assume it is free. However, if you have already paid admission fees to the college, those are separate and may or may not be refundable depending on the college's policy.
Who should I contact if I have questions about the withdrawal process?
Contact the DME Chhattisgarh directly through their website (cgdme.in), phone helpline, or by visiting the counselling centre in person. They can clarify the exact deadline, the withdrawal process, and any other questions you have about your allotment.
Can I withdraw and then re-apply in the same round?
No. Once you withdraw from Round 1, you cannot re-apply in Round 1. You may be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds (Round 2, Round 3, etc.) if they are held, but you cannot return to Round 1 after withdrawing.
The deadline to withdraw your Round 1 seat in Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 counselling has been extended.
