Chhattisgarh NEET Counselling 2025 (Schedule Released)

Chhattisgarh NEET Counselling 2025 will be conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Raipur, which serves as the gateway for aspiring medical students to secure admission into MBBS and BDS programs offered by medical and dental colleges within the state. This crucial process is conducted entirely online and caters to students who have qualified for the NEET 2025 exam. Chhattisgarh State NEET UG (MBBS/BDS) 2025 Result is now available on the official website (http://cgdme.admissions.nic.in).

Counselling typically takes place in two online rounds, with a third "mop-up" round if seats remain vacant. To participate, eligible candidates must register on the official DME website (cgdme.admissions.nic.in). The registration process consists of creating an account, filling out an application form, and paying the required fee.

Following registration, critical steps such as choice filling and seat allocation occur. During the choice process, candidates express their preferences for colleges and courses based on factors such as location, infrastructure, and previous year's cut-offs. The DME then uses a merit-based system to allocate seats, taking into account the candidate's NEET score, category, and preferences. Throughout the process, staying informed via official DME communication channels is critical to ensuring timely participation and informed decision-making. By successfully navigating the Chhattisgarh NEET Counselling process, aspiring medical professionals in the state can pave the way for a rewarding healthcare career.
