Unlock My College ListWhat is the Round 3 Merit List?
The Round 3 merit list is an official ranking of all candidates who have qualified for allotment in the third round of Chhattisgarh's NEET UG counselling process. This list is generated based on your NEET UG 2026 score, category, and the valid choices you filled in the previous round.
Only candidates who (1) opted for allotment in the earlier round and (2) completed valid choice filling are included on this list. If you did not fill choices or did not opt for allotment, you will not appear on this merit list. Your position on the list determines the order in which the counselling system will process your seat allocation — candidates ranked higher are considered first.
Who Appears on This Merit List?
This merit list includes only those candidates who took both of these actions in the previous round: (1) opted for allotment (confirmed their willingness to accept a seat) and (2) performed valid choice filling (selected colleges and courses in the correct order of preference).
If you did not complete either of these steps, you will not be on this list. Candidates who rejected allotment, did not fill any choices, or filled invalid choices are excluded. If you believe you should be on the list but are not, contact the DME office immediately with your NEET roll number and application details.
- Candidates who opted for allotment in Round 2
- Candidates who completed valid choice filling
- Candidates ranked by NEET score and category
- Both MBBS and BDS candidates (listed separately by course)
How to Check Your Name on the Merit List
The merit list has been published on the official DME Chhattisgarh website (cgdme.in). You can download the PDF file linked in the notice. The list is typically organized by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and then by rank within each category.
To find yourself: (1) download the PDF, (2) search for your NEET roll number or name using your browser's search function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac), (3) note your rank and the course (MBBS or BDS) listed against your name. If you cannot find yourself, verify that you completed choice filling in the previous round. If you still cannot locate your entry, contact the DME office with your application number.

What Your Rank Means for Allotment
Your rank on the merit list determines the order in which the allotment algorithm will process your choices. A higher rank (lower number) means you will be considered earlier. When the allotment is processed, the system will go through your list of preferred colleges and courses in the order you ranked them, and assign you the first available seat that matches your eligibility.
For example, if you ranked a particular MBBS college as your first choice and a seat is available there when your turn comes, you will be offered that seat. If that seat is already taken by a higher-ranked candidate, the system moves to your second choice, and so on. Your final allotment depends on your rank, your choices, and seat availability — not all candidates will receive their first choice.
- Lower rank number = considered earlier for allotment
- Allotment follows your choice order
- First available seat matching your choices is offered
- Seat availability depends on higher-ranked candidates' selections
Important: Verify Your Details on the List
Once you locate your name, carefully verify that all details are correct: your NEET roll number, name, category, and the course (MBBS or BDS) you are listed for. Any mismatch could indicate an error in the system or in your application.
If you notice any discrepancy — for example, your category is shown incorrectly, or you are listed for BDS when you applied for MBBS — report it to the DME office immediately with supporting documents (your NEET admit card, category certificate, application confirmation). Do not wait; errors must be corrected before allotment is processed. The DME office contact details are usually available on the website or in the notice.
- Check your NEET roll number matches exactly
- Verify your name spelling
- Confirm your category (General, OBC, SC, ST)
- Confirm the course (MBBS or BDS)
- Report any errors to DME immediately with proof
What Happens Next After the Merit List?
After the merit list is released, the DME will announce the date and time for Round 3 allotment. On that date, the allotment algorithm will run automatically, processing all candidates in merit list order and assigning seats based on their choices and availability. You do not need to do anything during the allotment process — it is fully automated.
Once allotment is complete, the DME will publish the Round 3 allotment result, showing which seat (college, course, and campus) has been assigned to you. You will then have a specified window to accept or reject your allotment. If you accept, you must report to your allotted college on the joining date with all required documents. If you reject, you may be considered in a subsequent round (if available) or your admission process may end.

If Your Name Is NOT on the Merit List
If you do not find your name on the Round 3 merit list, it means one of the following: (1) you did not opt for allotment in the previous round, (2) you did not complete valid choice filling, (3) you were allotted a seat in an earlier round and accepted it (and are therefore no longer in the counselling pool), or (4) there is a technical error.
Check your email and the DME portal for any notifications about your allotment status from earlier rounds. If you were allotted and accepted a seat in Round 1 or Round 2, you will not appear in Round 3. If you believe you should be on the list but are not, contact the DME office with your NEET roll number, application number, and proof of choice filling (a screenshot or confirmation email). Do this urgently, as the allotment date may be imminent.

Common Mistakes That Lead to Problems
Many candidates miss critical steps after the merit list is released. The most common mistake is not checking the list at all and then being surprised when allotment results are published. Another is failing to verify that their details on the list are correct — a wrong category or course listed can lead to an incorrect allotment.
A third mistake is not having documents ready. If you are allotted a seat and do not have your mark sheet, category certificate, or other required documents on hand, you may miss the joining deadline and lose your seat. Finally, some candidates do not read the allotment result carefully and miss the acceptance/rejection window, which can result in automatic rejection of their seat.
- Not checking the merit list promptly
- Not verifying your details (category, course, name spelling)
- Not preparing documents in advance
- Missing the acceptance/rejection deadline
- Not reading allotment instructions carefully
