The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Chhattisgarh has announced the postponement of the Mop-up round for CG NEET UG counselling for 2025. This delay impacts all aspiring medical and dental students who qualified for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduates) and are seeking admission to the 85% state quota seats in Chhattisgarh’s MBBS and BDS programs. The DME stated that a revised schedule, including all new dates and details, will be published on the official website, cgdme.in , within the next week.
Mop-up Round Postponement Details
The Mop-up round serves as a crucial final opportunity for candidates to secure vacant seats after the initial rounds of counselling are complete. This typically includes seats that remained unfilled, were surrendered, or became available due to non-admission. The decision to postpone means that all previously announced dates for this specific round are now invalid. The official statement on cgdme.in indicated, "The Mop Up round of CG State NEET UG counselling is postponed. The updated schedule will be posted next week."
DME Chhattisgarh will release a comprehensive revised schedule. This new timeline will provide updated dates for several key counselling activities. These include online registration for the Mop-up round, the period for choice filling and locking, the publication of the merit list, the declaration of seat allotment results, and the final admission deadline. Candidates are strongly advised to regularly check the official website to ensure they are aware of all new dates and instructions.
To participate in the upcoming Mop-up round, eligible candidates must complete their application forms accurately. Submission must occur before the revised registration deadline. Strict adherence to these deadlines is essential to avoid any last-minute discrepancies or disqualifications. The DME Chhattisgarh emphasizes that only candidates who meet the specified eligibility criteria will be allowed to proceed with the counselling process, ensuring a structured and transparent seat allocation for medical and dental courses.
