The Commissionerate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, has released the provisional allotment list for Round 4 (Stray Round) of NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS and BDS seats on 20 October 2026. This is the final round of seat allocation in the Chhattisgarh counselling process. If your name appears on this list, you have been provisionally allotted a seat at a medical or dental college in the state. This list is provisional — you must verify your details and complete the joining process within the specified timeline to confirm your admission.
Chhattisgarh's Round 4 (Stray Round) provisional allotment list for MBBS/BDS is now live; check the official portal immediately to see if you have been allotted a seat.

Unlock My College ListWhat is Round 4 (Stray Round) and Why It Matters
Round 4, also called the Stray Round, is the final round of counselling in Chhattisgarh's NEET UG 2026 admission process. This round is designed to fill any remaining vacant seats after the previous three rounds of allotment. If you did not receive a seat in Rounds 1, 2, or 3, or if you chose to participate in this round, you may have been allotted a seat now.
The stray round typically has fewer seats available than earlier rounds, as most seats are filled by then. However, it is still an important opportunity for candidates who were waiting for a specific college, branch, or category to become available. Once this round concludes and joining is complete, the counselling process for NEET UG 2026 in Chhattisgarh will be finished.
How to Check Your Allotment Status
The provisional allotment list has been published on the official DME Chhattisgarh portal (cgdme.in). To check if you have been allotted a seat, you will need to log in using your NEET registration number and password or other credentials specified by the authority.
Once you log in, search for your name or registration number in the list. The list will show your allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), and seat category (General, OBC, SC, ST, or other applicable category). Write down all these details carefully — you will need them for the joining process.
If your name does not appear on the list, it means you have not been allotted a seat in Round 4. In that case, check the official notice for any further rounds or counselling opportunities, or contact the DME helpline for guidance.

- Search for your name or registration number in the Round 4 provisional allotment list
- Note your allotted college, course, and seat category
- Save or print the allotment letter for your records
Important: This List is Provisional, Not Final
The word 'provisional' is critical. This list shows the seat you have been tentatively allotted based on your rank, choices, and category. However, your allotment is not confirmed until you complete the joining process at your allotted college within the deadline set by the DME.

A provisional allotment can be cancelled if: (1) you do not report to your allotted college by the joining deadline, (2) you do not submit the required documents, (3) your documents are found to be incomplete or fraudulent, or (4) you fail to pay the admission fee. Therefore, treat this list as the start of the joining process, not the end of counselling.
What You Must Do After Seeing Your Name on the List
If you have been allotted a seat, your next step is to report to your allotted college for joining. The DME will issue a separate notice with the exact joining date, time, and location. This notice will also list all the documents you must bring with you.
Do not delay in checking the official portal for the joining notice. Missing the joining deadline, even by a few hours, can result in your seat being cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. Set a reminder to check the DME portal daily for updates.
- Check the DME portal daily for the joining notice and deadline
- Gather all required documents (see 'Documents Required for Joining' section below)
- Report to your allotted college on or before the joining deadline
- Complete the admission formalities and pay the fee as instructed
Documents You Will Need for Joining
When you report to your allotted college for joining, you must bring original copies and photocopies of specific documents. The exact list will be provided in the joining notice, but typically includes your NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, Aadhaar card, caste certificate (if applicable), and any other documents mentioned in the counselling prospectus.
Do not assume which documents are needed — wait for the official joining notice from the DME or your college. Bringing incomplete documents can delay your admission or result in rejection. If you are unsure about any document, contact your allotted college or the DME helpline before the joining date.
- NEET admit card and scorecard
- 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
- Aadhaar card or other government ID
- Caste certificate (if applicable to your category)
- Income certificate (if applicable)
- Any other documents specified in the joining notice
What If You Don't See Your Name on the List?
If your name does not appear on the Round 4 provisional allotment list, it means you have not been allotted a seat in this round. This can happen if: (1) all seats in your category and choice of colleges have been filled, (2) your rank is below the cutoff for the seats available, or (3) you did not participate in this round.
Check the official DME notice to see if there are any further rounds of counselling or if a waiting list will be published. Some states conduct additional rounds or spot counselling after the main rounds. If no further rounds are announced, you may contact the DME helpline to understand your options, such as applying to private medical colleges or considering admission in another state.
Cutoff Marks and Seat Availability in Round 4
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Round 4 (Stray Round) typically has lower cutoff marks than earlier rounds because fewer seats are available. The cutoff is the minimum NEET score required to be considered for a seat in a particular college, course, and category. If your NEET score is below the cutoff for a college you were interested in, you would not be allotted that seat.
The DME may publish the cutoff marks for Round 4 along with or shortly after the allotment list. These cutoffs help you understand why you were or were not allotted a particular seat. If you believe there is an error in your allotment or cutoff, you can file a grievance with the DME as per the procedure outlined in the counselling prospectus.
Category-Specific Information
Chhattisgarh's counselling process allocates seats across different categories: General, OBC (Other Backward Classes), SC (Scheduled Caste), and ST (Scheduled Tribe). Each category has its own merit list and cutoff marks. Your allotment is based on your category, NEET rank, and your choice of colleges.
If you belong to an SC, ST, or OBC category, ensure that your caste certificate is valid and recognized by the state. An invalid or expired caste certificate can lead to your allotment being cancelled during the joining process. If you have any doubt about your certificate, contact the DME or your college before the joining date.
Joining Deadline and Consequences of Missing It
The DME will announce a specific joining deadline in the joining notice. This is a hard deadline — if you do not report to your college by this date and time, your seat will be cancelled automatically, and the seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
Do not assume you have extra time or that the college will accept you after the deadline. Colleges are instructed to strictly follow the deadline to ensure fair allocation. If you have a genuine emergency that prevents you from joining on time, contact your college and the DME immediately to request an extension, but do not rely on this — it is rarely granted.
Admission Fee and Payment Process
Once you join your allotted college, you will be required to pay the admission fee. The fee amount depends on whether you are joining an MBBS or BDS course and whether you are a General, OBC, SC, or ST category candidate. The exact fee structure will be provided by your college or in the joining notice.
The fee is typically paid directly to the college at the time of joining. Some colleges may accept online payment, while others may require a bank draft or cash. Ask your college about the accepted payment methods and ensure you have the funds ready before the joining date. Failure to pay the fee by the deadline can result in your seat being cancelled.
How to Contact DME Chhattisgarh for Help
If you have questions about your allotment, the joining process, or any other aspect of counselling, contact the DME Chhattisgarh helpline. The contact details are usually provided on the official portal (cgdme.in) or in the counselling prospectus. You can also visit the DME office in Raipur in person if needed.
When contacting the DME, have your NEET registration number, allotment letter (if you have one), and a clear description of your issue ready. The DME staff can clarify doubts about documents, deadlines, and the joining process. Do not wait until the last moment to contact them — reach out as soon as you have a question.

What does 'provisional allotment' mean, and is my seat confirmed?
Provisional allotment means you have been tentatively assigned a seat based on your NEET rank and choices, but the seat is not final until you complete the joining process at your college. Your allotment can be cancelled if you miss the joining deadline, fail to submit required documents, or if your documents are found to be invalid. You must report to your college and complete all formalities to confirm your admission.
How do I check if my name is on the Round 4 allotment list?
Visit the official DME Chhattisgarh portal (cgdme.in), log in with your NEET registration number and password, and search for your name or registration number in the Round 4 provisional allotment list. The list will show your allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), and seat category. Save or print this information for your records.
What should I do immediately after seeing my name on the allotment list?
First, note down your allotted college, course, and seat category. Then, check the DME portal daily for the joining notice, which will specify the exact date, time, and location for joining, as well as the documents you must bring. Gather all required documents and prepare to report to your college by the joining deadline.
What happens if I miss the joining deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college by the joining deadline, your seat will be automatically cancelled, and it will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. There is no grace period or extension in most cases. Missing the deadline, even by a few hours, can cost you your seat, so mark the deadline clearly and plan to arrive well in advance.
Is Round 4 the last round of counselling, or will there be more rounds?
Round 4 is called the Stray Round and is typically the final round of counselling in Chhattisgarh's NEET UG 2026 process. However, check the official DME notice to confirm whether any further rounds, waiting lists, or spot counselling will be conducted. The DME will announce any additional opportunities on its portal.
My name is not on the allotment list. What are my options?
If you are not allotted a seat in Round 4, check the DME notice for information about waiting lists, further rounds, or spot counselling. If no additional rounds are announced, you may contact the DME helpline to explore other options, such as applying to private medical colleges or considering admission in another state.
What documents do I need to bring for joining?
The exact list of documents will be provided in the joining notice issued by the DME. Typically, you will need your NEET admit card and scorecard, 10th and 12th certificates and mark sheets, Aadhaar card, caste certificate (if applicable), and any other documents mentioned in the counselling prospectus. Do not assume — wait for the official joining notice and bring all specified documents.
Can my allotment be cancelled after I join the college?
Yes, your allotment can be cancelled during or after joining if your documents are found to be incomplete, invalid, or fraudulent. This is why it is critical to bring all original and photocopies of required documents and ensure they are genuine. If there is any issue with your documents, inform the college immediately.
How much is the admission fee, and when do I need to pay it?
The admission fee amount depends on your course (MBBS or BDS) and category (General, OBC, SC, ST). The exact fee and payment deadline will be provided by your allotted college or in the joining notice. You must pay the fee by the deadline specified; failure to do so can result in your seat being cancelled.
What if I have a valid caste certificate but it is not recognized by Chhattisgarh?
If your caste certificate is from another state or is in a format not recognized by Chhattisgarh, contact the DME or your allotted college immediately to clarify. You may need to obtain a fresh certificate from the competent authority in Chhattisgarh. Do not wait until the joining date to resolve this — address it as soon as possible.
Can I defer my admission to the next year if I am allotted a seat now?
The notice does not mention a deferment option. Typically, if you are allotted a seat and do not join, your seat is cancelled and offered to the next candidate. If you wish to defer, contact the DME or your college immediately to ask about the possibility, but do not assume it is allowed.
How do I contact the DME if I have questions about my allotment?
Contact details for the DME Chhattisgarh are available on the official portal (cgdme.in) or in the counselling prospectus. You can call the helpline or visit the DME office in Raipur. Have your NEET registration number and allotment letter ready when you contact them. Reach out as soon as you have a question — do not wait until the last moment.
