MOCK COUNSELLING IN CHHATTISGARH
A student picked their 3rd preference thinking they’d upgrade in Round 2. Round 2 came — their 1st preference had already filled. The preference order you submit is the order you live with.

Which of these colleges applies to your rank?
AIIMS
AIIMS Raipur takes the top CG ranks out of state counselling — seats at GMC Raipur then open in later rounds
When top-rank CG candidates take AIIMS Raipur through MCC AIQ, Government Medical College Raipur seats cascade open for lower ranks. CG's R2 windows are created by AIQ exits, same as the Karnataka BMCRI pattern.
ST
Scheduled Tribe reservation is significant in CG — Chhattisgarh has a large tribal population with constitutional guarantees
ST reservation in CG state quota is higher than most non-NE states. A non-ST candidate at rank 5,000 may lose a seat to an ST candidate at rank 50,000 at govt colleges. Know your category before calculating your odds.
CGBME
CGBME counselling is Chhattisgarh-domicile only for 85% seats. Private quota is also state-counselled.
Unlike states where private colleges use separate management-quota counselling, CG routes private seats through CGBME state counselling. A non-domicile candidate cannot access CG private seats through state counselling — AIQ is the only way in.
3
CG had 3 govt medical colleges for years — now expanding, but legacy colleges dominate competitive closing ranks
PT JNM Medical Raipur, CIMS Bilaspur, and LATE Lakhiram Agrawal MC Jagdalpur are the established colleges. Newer colleges (Ambikapur, Rajnandgaon) have higher closing ranks but less brand recognition.

Why Chhattisgarh is Different
Section 1
Why Chhattisgarh is Different
NC/Female/EX Sub-Categories
CG uses Category-SubType format: UR-NC (Non-Creamy/Normal), UR-Female, UR-EX (Ex-serviceman). Each is a separate pool: OBC-NC, OBC-Female, SC-NC, SC-Female, ST-NC, ST-Female.
Strong Government Presence
With 10 government vs 5 private colleges, CG is government-heavy. Pt. JNM Raipur is the flagship. New government colleges being added regularly.
Large Tribal Population
CG has significant ST population. ST seats have much wider closing ranks than UR. If you have an ST certificate from CG, your options are significantly better.
CG VYAPAM / DME conducts counselling
CG Professional Examination Board (VYAPAM) and DME conduct MBBS counselling. AIIMS Raipur goes through AIIMS counselling. Note: The official 2025 CG admission brochure (41 pages) is a scanned PDF; specific eligibility rules and fee details will be updated once a text-searchable version is available from CG DME.
