NEET PG 2025
50%
50% of CG govt PG seats are open to all India — not domicile-locked
Unlike many states, Chhattisgarh allocates half its government PG seats to open category — accessible by any NEET PG candidate nationally. This makes RAIMC and other CG govt colleges reachable even without CG domicile. — Formity's analysis of CGDME 2025 brochure.
0
No NRI quota in CG state PG counselling — zero seats
CG state counselling does not offer NRI quota at state level. NRI candidates must approach CG private colleges through management quota or MCC AIQ routes independently.
₹10L
Bond: ₹10L penalty for non-completion of 1yr rural CG service
Govt PG seats in CG carry a 1-year rural service bond. The penalty is ₹10L. It is among the shorter bond durations nationally — but enforcement has tightened in 2024-25.
AIIMS
AIIMS Raipur goes through MCC AIQ — not CG state counselling
Chhattisgarh candidates often assume AIIMS Raipur is part of state counselling. It is not. AIIMS Raipur is entirely through MCC AIQ. Plan your preferences accordingly — these are separate counselling timelines.

32% ST Reservation — Highest in India
Chhattisgarh has 32% ST reservation — the highest among all Indian states for PG medical seats. This dramatically changes the competition landscape. Each category further splits into NC (Non-Creamy Layer), Female, EX (Ex-servicemen) sub-types. For example, ST-Female-NC is a separate bucket. This can mean very few competitors per seat for specific sub-combinations.
ST 32% + SC 13% = 45% reserved for SC/ST

Horizontal reservations: Female 30% within each category, PwD 5%, Freedom Fighter 1%, Ex-servicemen 1%. NC (Non-Creamy Layer) applies to OBC candidates only.

Pt. JNM Raipur vs CIMS Bilaspur
Pt. JNM Medical College, Raipur is the state's premier government medical college with the widest range of PG specialities. CIMS Bilaspur is the second largest. AIIMS Raipur operates under central AIQ counselling (MCC) and is separate from state quota. Newer GMCs at Ambikapur, Rajnandgaon, and Korba are adding PG seats gradually.

Key Insights
Section 8

Key Insights

NC/Female/EX Sub-types
Each reservation category splits into NC (Non-Creamy Layer), Female, and EX (Ex-servicemen) sub-categories. This creates very narrow competition pools. An OBC-Female-NC candidate competes only within that sub-bucket for reserved seats.
Tribal Area Advantage
With 32% ST reservation, tribal candidates from Bastar, Surguja, and Jashpur districts have among the best PG seat accessibility in India. The competition is significantly lower compared to states with 7-10% ST reservation.
AIIMS Raipur = Separate
AIIMS Raipur is NOT under CG DME counselling. It comes under MCC counselling (AIIMS category). Don't confuse state quota with AIIMS seats. AIIMS has its own institute-level reservation rules.
Nearly Closed for Non-Domicile
CG is effectively nearly closed for non-domicile PG candidates. Very few seats exist for non-domicile even in private colleges. NRI seats in private exist but domicile candidates get preference first. The only reliable non-domicile route is the 50% AIQ via MCC or DNB via NBE.
