NEET counselling in Chhattisgarh — how it actually works for you.

NEET UG counselling in Chhattisgarh runs through two parallel routes: the Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh (CGDME) fills ~85% of government seats on a state-domicile rank, while MCC's All-India Quota (AIQ) fills ~15% on your all-India rank (AIR) — no domicile required. Pt. J N M Medical College, Raipur closed near AIR 15,581 via AIQ but 24,483 via Chhattisgarh state quota in 2025 — two different ranks, one college. Government seats carry a ₹0.0L · 1 yr rural-service bond. Domicile eligibility: CG domicile: Must be a resident of Chhattisgarh. Government colleges (10+AIIMS, ~1,680 seats): • 85% state quota: CG domicile ONLY.

Based on MCC / CGDME 2025 data — last year's pattern, not a 2026 guarantee.

About Chhattisgarh NEET UG counselling

Chhattisgarh conducts its own NEET UG MBBS admissions through the Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh (CGDME). This is entirely separate from MCC's All India Quota (AIQ) process. AIQ handles approximately 15% of government seats and all deemed university seats across India, with no domicile requirement. Chhattisgarh's own counselling handles the remaining ~85% of government seats within the state, plus all private MBBS colleges. It runs across 4 rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round, Stray Vacancy Round.

The key difference most candidates miss: your AIR (All India Rank) determines your AIQ position. Chhattisgarh's counselling runs on a separate state rank — in most states this is more accessible than AIQ for domicile candidates. For example, Pt. J N M Medical College, Raipur closes at approximately 15,581 via AIQ, but 24,483 via Chhattisgarh state counselling.

Bond: Chhattisgarh requires a rural service bond of ₹0.0L · 1 yr (1 year rural service (post-completion)) for government MBBS seats. The penalty for breaking the bond is ₹25L (UR) / ₹20L (SC/ST/OBC/EWS). CG rural service bond (Rule 10, CG UG Admission Rules-2025). After MBBS, 1 year service as Junior Resident in CG govt health facility. Penalty if breached: ₹25L (Unreserved) / ₹20L (Reserved). Applies to all CG state counselling govt MBBS seats. Private colleges have bank-guarantee bond (1 yr tuition fee) under Rule 11.
