The Commissionerate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, has issued a notice on 1 October 2026 regarding seat withdrawal (resignation) for candidates who have been admitted to MBBS or BDS programmes in Round 1 and Round 2 of the NEET UG 2026 counselling. If you have been allotted a seat but wish to withdraw it — whether to pursue a different course, a different college, or for any other reason — this notice sets out the exact process, deadline, and documents you must submit. Understanding these rules is critical: missing the deadline or submitting incomplete documents can result in your withdrawal being rejected, leaving you locked into your current seat and unable to participate in subsequent counselling rounds.
Candidates admitted in Round 1 and Round 2 can withdraw their seat by submitting a formal resignation letter and required documents to the DME office by the specified deadline; withdrawal after this date will not be accepted.

Unlock My College ListWhat This Notice Is About
This is an official notice from the Chhattisgarh Directorate of Medical Education (DME) that opens a window for MBBS and BDS candidates who have already been allotted and admitted to a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling to formally withdraw (resign from) that seat.
A seat withdrawal is a formal, irreversible step. Once you withdraw, you give up your current seat entirely. You will not be eligible to participate in further counselling rounds for that seat, and you cannot reclaim it. This notice tells you how to do this properly, what documents are required, and what happens to your security deposit after withdrawal.
Who Can Withdraw Their Seat
Only candidates who have been formally admitted (allotted a seat) in Round 1 or Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling are eligible to use this withdrawal process. If you have not yet received an allotment, or if you were allotted in a later round (Round 3 onwards), this notice does not apply to you.
Withdrawal is entirely voluntary. You are not required to withdraw; you may keep your seat and proceed with admission. However, if you wish to withdraw — for example, because you have received a better option elsewhere, or you have decided not to pursue medicine or dentistry — you must follow this formal process and meet the deadline specified in the notice.
- You must have been allotted a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling
- You must be a candidate who has been formally admitted (not just shortlisted or called for counselling)
Important Dates and Deadline
The notice was issued on 1 October 2026. However, the notice provided to us does not explicitly state the withdrawal deadline date. To find the exact last date by which you must submit your withdrawal request, you must download and read the full PDF notice from the DME Chhattisgarh website (cgdme.in).

Do not delay. Once the deadline passes, the DME will not accept any withdrawal requests, regardless of the reason. Mark the deadline clearly in your calendar and submit your documents well before that date to avoid any last-minute issues.

Official 2023–2025 closing ranks and fees, matched to your rank.
Seat withdrawal in Chhattisgarh is a manual, offline process. You cannot withdraw online through a portal. You must physically submit a formal resignation letter and supporting documents to the DME office in Raipur.
The process is straightforward but must be done correctly. Follow these steps exactly as outlined in the notice to ensure your withdrawal is accepted.
- Write a formal resignation letter addressed to the Commissionerate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh, clearly stating your intention to withdraw from your allotted seat
- Include your NEET roll number, name, the college and course (MBBS or BDS) you are withdrawing from, and the round in which you were allotted
- Gather all required documents (see 'Documents Required' section below)
- Submit the resignation letter and documents in person or by post to the DME office, Raipur, on or before the deadline
- Obtain a receipt or acknowledgement from the DME office confirming receipt of your withdrawal request
- Keep this receipt safely; you will need it to track your refund and for any future correspondence
Documents Required for Withdrawal
To withdraw your seat, you must submit a complete set of documents. The notice specifies which documents are mandatory. Submitting incomplete documentation is a common reason for withdrawal requests being rejected. Ensure you have every document listed below before you visit the DME office.
All documents must be originals or certified copies as specified. Do not submit photocopies unless the notice explicitly allows it. If any document is missing or incorrect, your withdrawal will be rejected, and you will remain admitted to your current seat.
- Formal resignation letter (handwritten or typed, signed by you)
- Your NEET UG 2026 admit card
- Your allotment letter from Round 1 or Round 2 (as applicable)
- Your original security deposit receipt or proof of payment
- Your identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport)
- Any other documents specified in the full PDF notice (download from cgdme.in to confirm the complete list)
Security Deposit Refund After Withdrawal
When you withdraw your seat, you are entitled to a refund of your security deposit (the amount you paid when you accepted your allotted seat). However, the refund is not automatic. The DME will process your refund only after your withdrawal request has been formally approved and processed.
The notice does not specify the exact refund timeline or the method of refund (bank transfer, cheque, or cash). To find out how long the refund will take and how it will be paid, check the full PDF notice or contact the DME office directly. Do not assume your refund will be immediate; plan accordingly.
- Your security deposit will be refunded after your withdrawal is approved
- Refund timeline and method are not specified in this summary; check the full notice or contact DME Raipur
- Keep your security deposit receipt to claim your refund
What Happens After You Withdraw
Once your withdrawal is approved by the DME, your seat becomes vacant and is released back to the counselling pool. You will no longer be eligible to participate in any further counselling rounds for NEET UG 2026 in Chhattisgarh. Your withdrawal is final and cannot be reversed.
If you withdraw, you will not be considered for Round 3 or any subsequent counselling rounds. If you wish to pursue MBBS or BDS in the future, you will need to participate in the next year's NEET counselling. Withdrawal is a serious decision — make sure you are certain before you submit your resignation letter.
- Your seat is released and becomes available for other candidates
- You cannot participate in Round 3 or later counselling rounds
- Your withdrawal cannot be reversed or cancelled
- You will not be eligible for any further allotments in this counselling cycle

Common Mistakes That Get Withdrawals Rejected
Many candidates' withdrawal requests are rejected because they miss critical requirements. Here are the most common mistakes — avoid them at all costs.
The most frequent errors are: submitting after the deadline (even by one day), missing documents, submitting photocopies instead of originals, not signing the resignation letter, or not including your NEET roll number and allotment details. Any of these will result in rejection, and you will remain locked into your seat.
- ⚠️ Submitting after the deadline — even one day late will be rejected
- ⚠️ Missing or incomplete documents — all required documents must be submitted together
- ⚠️ Submitting photocopies instead of originals or certified copies — check the notice for which documents must be original
- ⚠️ Unsigned resignation letter — your letter must be signed by you
- ⚠️ Not including your NEET roll number, name, and allotment details in the letter — the DME must be able to identify your record
- ⚠️ Submitting to the wrong office or address — ensure you submit to the correct DME office in Raipur
- ⚠️ Not obtaining a receipt — always get written acknowledgement of submission
What If You Change Your Mind After Withdrawal?
Once your withdrawal is approved and processed, it is final. You cannot reverse it or reclaim your seat. The seat will be offered to another candidate in a subsequent counselling round. If you later regret your decision, you will not be able to undo the withdrawal.
This is why it is critical to be absolutely certain before you submit your resignation letter. Discuss your decision with your parents, teachers, or a counsellor. Do not withdraw on impulse. Once the deadline passes and your withdrawal is processed, there is no going back.
- Withdrawal is irreversible — you cannot change your mind after approval
- Your seat will be offered to another candidate
- You will not be eligible for further counselling rounds in this cycle
- Think carefully before submitting your resignation letter
