The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Raipur has postponed Chhattisgarh NEET PG 2025 counselling Round 1 registrations. This delay impacts thousands of candidates seeking postgraduate medical and dental admissions in the state. DME Raipur cited ‘unavoidable reasons’ for the revised schedule. New dates for registration will be announced imminently on the official website: cgdme.admissions.nic.in . Candidates must monitor the portal for the updated timetable.
NEET PG counselling is the centralized process for admission to Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Surgery (MS) programs. These are postgraduate medical courses. Admissions are based on scores from the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test – PG (NEET PG). The counselling system allocates available seats within government and private medical colleges across Chhattisgarh. It ensures a transparent and merit-based selection.
Participation in the counselling process requires an application fee. The fee is Rs 2,000 for all general category candidates, including EWS and OBC. Non-Resident Indian (NRI) candidates face a higher fee of Rs 10,000 . DME Raipur typically conducts four distinct rounds of counselling. These rounds are crucial for filling 50% of the state quota seats available for Chhattisgarh NEET PG admission 2025. The remaining 50% fall under the All India Quota.
Once the registration portal reopens, candidates must submit their preferred college and course choices. This online submission window is strictly time-bound. Seat allotment occurs based on the submitted preferences and the candidate’s NEET PG merit rank. The system matches candidates to available seats, prioritizing higher-ranked individuals who meet eligibility criteria. Candidates must finalize their choices carefully.
Security Deposit Details
All participating candidates must submit a security deposit. This amount discourages candidates from blocking seats unnecessarily. The deposit is generally refundable. However, specific conditions lead to its forfeiture. If a candidate is allotted a seat in the second counselling round but does not take admission, the deposit is lost. Similarly, vacating an admitted seat after the second round also results in forfeiture of the security amount. Candidates must understand these terms before participating.
| Category | Security Deposit for Government Medical College Seats | Security Deposit for Private College or Private + Government College |
|---|---|---|
| UR (Unreserved) | Rs 25,000 | Rs 200,000 |
| SC/ST/OBC | Rs 12,500 | Rs 200,000 |
