The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh has opened a fresh round of online registration for the third phase (Round 3) of NEET UG 2026 state counselling for MBBS and BDS seats. The announcement, issued on 30 September 2026, invites eligible candidates to register on the official portal, and a separate DME notice covers eligibility verification for NRI-quota claimants in this round. This is one of the last chances to secure a Chhattisgarh state-quota medical seat this year, so it matters both to candidates who are still unplaced and to those hoping to upgrade.
Chhattisgarh's Round 3 (third phase) NEET UG 2026 counselling is open for fresh online registration at cgdme.admissions.nic.in — confirm the exact schedule on the portal and complete registration, fee payment and choice filling within the official window.

Chhattisgarh's state-quota NEET UG counselling for MBBS and BDS is run by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Raipur. All counselling activity — registration, fee payment, choice filling, seat allotment and result — happens on the official portal, cgdme.admissions.nic.in. Notices and notifications are published there and on cgdme.in.
Round 3 covers the seats left vacant after the earlier rounds across government and, where applicable, private and NRI-quota categories. Because it is a later round, the exact seat matrix and vacancies are published fresh — always work from the official Round 3 seat matrix on the portal.

Round 3 (the third phase / mop-up round) is generally open both to eligible candidates who have not yet secured a seat and, subject to the DME's rules for this round, to some already-allotted candidates who wish to try for a better seat. Fresh registration is being invited, so candidates who did not register earlier can also come in during this window — provided they meet Chhattisgarh's domicile and eligibility conditions.
Read the DME's Round 3 notice carefully for the exact eligibility, because the rules on who can upgrade, resign or join afresh can change round to round. If you are unsure whether your earlier allotment or non-participation affects your eligibility, confirm it against the official notice before registering.
Step-by-step: how to register and fill choices
The Round 3 process on the Chhattisgarh portal follows the usual state-counselling flow. Complete every step within the official window — a missed choice-lock or fee-payment deadline cannot usually be reopened.

NRI-quota candidates: eligibility verification
Alongside the Round 3 registration notice, the DME has issued a separate notice on eligibility verification for candidates claiming the NRI quota in this round. If you are applying under NRI category, submit the required relationship and sponsorship documents for verification exactly as the DME notice specifies, and within its deadline — NRI claims are scrutinised closely, and incomplete papers can cost you the seat.
Non-NRI candidates do not need to do anything extra here; this step applies only to those claiming NRI seats.
Key dates and where to confirm them
Because Round 3 dates are set by the DME for this specific round and can be revised, do not rely on last year's schedule or on unofficial aggregators. The authoritative registration, choice-filling, allotment and reporting dates for Chhattisgarh Round 3 are published in the DME's notice and on cgdme.admissions.nic.in. Check the portal now, note each deadline, and complete your steps early — later rounds move fast, and reporting windows are often short.
