Chhattisgarh NEET UG Round 3 Mop-Up Allotment 2026: Reporting Deadline & Next Steps

The Directorate of Medical Education Chhattisgarh has announced the Round 3 Mop-Up seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 on its official portal. This is typically the final opportunity for candidates to secure a state quota seat in government or private MBBS and BDS colleges across the state. If you have received an allotment, you must act immediately: the reporting window closes on October 15, 2026, and missing this deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat. This article explains what you need to do, what documents to bring, and how to avoid losing your admission.

What Happened: Round 3 Mop-Up Allotment Released

On October 12, 2026, the Chhattisgarh DME released the final allotment list for Round 3 Mop-Up counselling. This round covers 424 vacant seats across the state: 200 MBBS seats and 224 BDS seats in both government and private medical and dental colleges. The mop-up round exists to fill seats that were surrendered by candidates who were admitted in earlier rounds but chose not to join, or seats that remained vacant after Rounds 1 and 2.

The choice-filling window for this round closed on October 8, 2026, after a one-day extension was granted to allow more candidates to participate. The extension was necessary because additional seats became available as earlier-round allottees declined their offers. Candidates who participated can now check their allotment status on the official portal cgdme.in using their NEET UG roll number and password.

Why This Is Your Last Chance for State Quota Seats

The Mop-Up round is almost always the final opportunity to secure a state quota MBBS or BDS seat through the regular counselling process. After this round closes, the authority may announce a stray vacancy list (if any seats remain unclaimed), but the number of seats available then is typically very small and unpredictable. If you do not report and confirm your seat in Round 3, you will not be reconsidered for the same seat in any future round.

This is why the reporting deadline is non-negotiable. The state authority needs to know by October 15 which seats have been genuinely accepted so they can plan for any stray round or close the counselling process. Candidates who fail to report are treated as having forfeited their allotment, and their seats are released back into the pool.

How to Check Your Allotment Status Online

To view your Round 3 allotment result, visit the official DME Chhattisgarh portal at cgdme.in. On the homepage, locate the NEET UG 2026 counselling section and click on the Round 3 seat allotment result link. You will be asked to log in using your NEET UG roll number and password—the same credentials you used during choice filling.

Once logged in, your allotment letter will display your assigned college, the course (MBBS or BDS), the seat category (general, SC, ST, OBC, or EWS), and your roll number. Download this letter immediately and print at least two copies: one for your college reporting and one for your personal records. Do not rely on viewing it online alone; a printed copy is essential for document verification at the college.

Reporting Window: October 12–15, 2026 — Act Now

You have exactly four days to report to your allotted college in person. The reporting window runs from October 12 to October 15, 2026. This is a hard deadline; reporting even one day late will result in your seat being cancelled. Many colleges may close their admission counters by 5 PM on October 15, so plan to arrive well before the end of the day.

When you arrive at the college, you will undergo document verification, where the college staff will check your original certificates and identity proof against the photocopies you submit. Once verified, you will pay the admission fee (the amount and payment mode will be specified by the college) and receive a confirmation receipt. This receipt is your proof of admission. Without this confirmation, your seat is not secure.

Documents You Must Bring to the College

Prepare all required documents in advance so you do not miss the deadline due to missing paperwork. The college will not admit you without these originals and verified photocopies. Below is the complete list of documents required for reporting and admission confirmation.

• NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard (original and photocopy)
• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates (original and photocopy)
• Round 3 allotment letter downloaded from cgdme.in (printed copy)
• Chhattisgarh domicile certificate issued by the competent authority (original and photocopy)
• Category certificate if applicable—SC, ST, OBC, or EWS (original and photocopy)
• Valid photo identity proof such as Aadhaar card or passport (original and photocopy)
• Recent passport-size photographs (typically 4–6 copies; check with the college)
• Transfer certificate and migration certificate from your last educational institution (original and photocopy)

What Happens If You Do Not Report by October 15

If you fail to report within the October 12–15 window, your allotted seat will be automatically cancelled. The college will not hold your seat, and you will not be given a second chance to report later. Your name will be removed from the admission roll, and the seat will be released back to the DME for any stray round or future counselling.

Once your seat is forfeited, you cannot appeal or request reinstatement. The only way to secure an MBBS or BDS seat after this point is to wait for a stray vacancy list (if announced) or participate in counselling in a future year. This is why it is critical to treat the October 15 deadline as absolute and plan your travel and document arrangement accordingly.

Practical Checklist: What to Do Before October 15

Follow this step-by-step action plan to ensure you do not miss your admission:

• Log in to cgdme.in today and download your Round 3 allotment letter.
• Print the allotment letter and verify all details: college name, course, category, and your roll number. If any detail is wrong, contact the DME immediately.
• Gather all original documents listed above and make photocopies. Have them attested by a notary or your school/college if required.
• Confirm the college's reporting location, working hours, and admission fee amount by calling the college directly or checking their website.
• Arrange the admission fee in the mode specified by the college (cash, demand draft, online transfer, etc.).
• Plan your travel to the college well in advance. If the college is far, consider traveling a day early to avoid delays.
• Report to the college in person before 5 PM on October 15, 2026. Bring all original documents and photocopies.
• Complete document verification and pay the admission fee. Collect the admission confirmation receipt.
• Keep the receipt and all documents safe for future reference.

After October 15: What to Watch For

After the Round 3 reporting deadline closes on October 15, the DME may announce a stray vacancy list if any seats remain unclaimed. This list is typically released within a few days and contains seats that were forfeited by candidates who did not report. If you did not receive an allotment in Round 3 or if you are still waiting for a better option, monitor cgdme.in closely for any stray round announcement.

However, do not rely on a stray round. The number of seats available is unpredictable and often very small. If you have received an allotment in Round 3, reporting and confirming your seat is the safest path to securing your MBBS or BDS admission. Stray rounds are a last resort, not a primary option.
