The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, has opened a window for NEET UG 2026 candidates who were admitted in the first and second rounds of counselling to resign or withdraw their seats. This is a formal opportunity to step back from your allocated seat if you wish to pursue another option or have changed your plans. The resignation/withdrawal portal will be live for exactly six days — from 1 October 2026 at 2:00 PM to 6 October 2026 at 5:00 PM (server time). If you are eligible and wish to resign, you must act within this window; after 6 October, the portal will close and you will not be able to withdraw.
Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 candidates admitted in Round 1 or 2 can resign their seat via the official portal between 1–6 October 2026 (2:00 PM to 5:00 PM server time); after this window closes, resignation is not possible.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this notice about?
This is an official announcement from the Chhattisgarh Directorate of Medical Education (DME) that opens a formal seat resignation/withdrawal window for NEET UG 2026 candidates. If you were allocated a seat in the first or second round of state counselling for MBBS or BDS, you now have the option to resign that seat through an online portal.
Seat resignation means you are giving up your allocated seat voluntarily. Once you resign, that seat becomes available for other candidates. This is different from not joining — if you resign through the official portal during this window, your action is recorded and processed by the state. If you simply don't join without resigning, you may face consequences and your seat will be blocked.
Who can resign their seat?
You are eligible to resign if you were admitted (allotted a seat) in either the first round or the second round of Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 counselling. This applies to candidates who received an MBBS or BDS seat through state counselling.
The notice does not specify any restrictions based on category, merit rank, or college type — so all candidates who received an allotment in Round 1 or Round 2 can use this window. However, you must have an active login to the Seat Resign Portal / Seat Withdrawal Portal to proceed.
Important dates: When can you resign?
The resignation window is open for exactly six days. The portal opens on 1 October 2026 at 2:00 PM (server time) and closes on 6 October 2026 at 5:00 PM (server time). After 5:00 PM on 6 October, the portal will shut down and you will not be able to resign.
It is critical to note that these are server times, not your local time. If you are in a different time zone, convert the times accordingly. Do not wait until the last moment — technical issues, internet delays, or server congestion can prevent you from submitting your resignation if you try at the very end.
- Portal opens: 1 October 2026, 2:00 PM (server time)
- Portal closes: 6 October 2026, 5:00 PM (server time)
- Total window: 6 days
- After 5:00 PM on 6 October, resignation is not possible
| Event | Date | Time (Server) |

How to resign your seat: Step-by-step process
To resign your seat, you must log in to the official Seat Resign Portal or Seat Withdrawal Portal using your credentials. The notice does not specify the exact URL, so check the Chhattisgarh DME website (https://dme.cg.gov.in or the official counselling portal) for the direct link. Use the same login details you used during counselling registration.
Once logged in, you will see an option to resign or withdraw your seat. Select this option and confirm your resignation. The portal will generate a confirmation. Keep a screenshot or note of your resignation confirmation for your records. After you submit, your seat will be marked as resigned and will be released back into the pool for other candidates.
- Visit the official Seat Resign Portal / Seat Withdrawal Portal
- Log in with your NEET UG 2026 counselling credentials
- Select the option to resign or withdraw your seat
- Confirm your resignation
- Save or screenshot the confirmation message
- Your seat is now released and no longer yours
What happens after you resign?
Once you resign your seat through the portal during the official window, your resignation is processed by the Chhattisgarh DME. Your seat is immediately released and becomes available for other candidates. Depending on the state's counselling rules, there may be a subsequent round or a waitlist process in which other candidates can be offered your seat.
After resignation, you will no longer have any claim on that seat. If you change your mind after the portal closes on 6 October at 5:00 PM, you cannot re-apply for that same seat or reverse your resignation. Therefore, be absolutely certain before you resign.
- Your seat is released immediately after resignation
- Other candidates may be offered your seat in a subsequent round or waitlist
- You lose all claim to that seat
- Resignation cannot be reversed after the portal closes
- You will not be eligible to participate in further rounds for that seat
Why would you resign your seat?
Candidates resign seats for various reasons: they may have received a better seat in a private college or another state, they may have decided not to pursue medicine, they may have personal or financial constraints, or they may be waiting for a higher round in which they expect a better college or course. Resigning allows you to formally withdraw without blocking the seat from other deserving candidates.
If you do not resign and simply do not join, your seat remains blocked and other candidates cannot use it. This is unfair to the waiting list and may result in penalties or cancellation of your admission. Always resign formally if you have decided not to take the seat.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not confuse the resignation window with the joining deadline. Resignation is a formal withdrawal; joining is when you physically report to the college. If you resign, you are giving up the seat entirely. If you simply miss the joining date without resigning, your admission may be cancelled and your seat blocked.
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Do not wait until the last hour to resign. The portal closes at exactly 5:00 PM on 6 October (server time). If you try to resign at 4:59 PM and the server is slow or your internet connection drops, you may miss the deadline. Submit your resignation well in advance — ideally by 5 October at the latest.
Do not resign without being absolutely certain. Once the portal closes, you cannot undo your resignation. If you are unsure, contact the DME office or your counselling centre for clarification before resigning.
- Do not confuse resignation with joining — resignation means you give up the seat entirely
- Do not wait until the last moment — submit well before 5:00 PM on 6 October
- Do not resign unless you are 100% certain — resignation cannot be reversed
- Do not assume the portal will stay open past 5:00 PM — it will close automatically
- Do not ignore this window if you have decided not to take the seat — resign formally to free up the seat for others
Where to find the resignation portal
The notice mentions the 'Seat Resign Portal / Seat Withdrawal Portal' but does not provide a direct URL. You should look for the link on the official Chhattisgarh DME website or the state NEET UG counselling portal. The portal is typically hosted on the same platform where you completed your counselling registration.
If you cannot find the portal, contact the Chhattisgarh DME office directly or visit your nearest counselling centre. They will provide you with the correct link and help you log in if needed. Do not delay — the window closes on 6 October at 5:00 PM.
- Check the official Chhattisgarh DME website
- Look for the link on the state NEET UG counselling portal
- Contact the DME office if you cannot find the portal
- Visit your nearest counselling centre for assistance
- Do not use unofficial or third-party portals
What if you have already joined the college?
If you have already joined the college and attended classes or completed registration, resigning through this portal may not be the correct procedure. In such cases, you should contact the college directly and follow their withdrawal or leave of absence policy. Resigning through the portal is intended for candidates who have been allotted a seat but have not yet joined.
If you have joined and wish to leave, speak to the college administration and the DME office to understand the correct process and any consequences (such as forfeiture of fees or a ban on future admissions).
