The Chhattisgarh NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 3 registration process has started for candidates seeking admission to MBBS and BDS programmes under the state counselling process.
The Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh issued the Round 3 notice on September 30, 2026, for new online registration and institution choice filling. The process is being conducted through the official counselling portal, cgdme.admissions.nic.in.
Candidates participating in this phase need to complete the required registration details, pay the applicable fee and then exercise their college and course preferences. The current Round 3 process is therefore important for NEET UG 2026 candidates who are still seeking MBBS or BDS admission through Chhattisgarh state counselling.
The key Round 3 activities reported for CG NEET UG Counselling 2026 are as follows:
| Event | Date |
| Round 3 registration begins | October 1, 2026 |
| Last date for Round 3 registration | October 6, 2026 |
| Round 3 choice filling | October 1 to October 7, 2026 |
| Courses | MBBS and BDS |
| Counselling authority | Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh |
| Official counselling portal | cgdme.admissions.nic.in |
Candidates should complete registration and choice filling within the respective deadlines. The registration and choice-filling windows should not be treated as interchangeable because the closing dates are different. Current reporting places the registration deadline on October 6 and choice filling through October 7.
Chhattisgarh NEET UG Round 3 Counselling 2026 is the third phase of the state-level admission process for NEET UG candidates seeking MBBS and BDS seats in participating medical and dental colleges in the state.
The Round 3 process allows eligible candidates to register and select their preferred institutions and courses. Seat allotment will be based on the applicable counselling rules, candidate eligibility, merit and the choices submitted during the counselling process.
The CGDME website lists the September 30 notice specifically for new online registration and institution selection for Round 3 MBBS/BDS counselling.
Candidates who meet the eligibility requirements for Chhattisgarh state counselling can participate in the Round 3 process as per the applicable counselling rules.
Candidates should carefully check their eligibility before submitting the registration form. They should also ensure that their NEET UG 2026 details, personal information and documents are entered correctly.
The authority has also issued a separate notice concerning NRI quota eligibility verification documents for candidates seeking admission under the NRI category in Round 3.
Candidates can follow these steps to complete the CG NEET UG Round 3 registration 2026:
Visit the official Chhattisgarh NEET UG counselling portal.
Open the NEET UG MBBS/BDS 2026 counselling section.
Select the Round 3 registration option.
Enter the required NEET UG and personal details.
Complete the registration form.
Pay the applicable counselling fee.
Log in using the required credentials.
Open the choice-filling section.
Select preferred medical and dental colleges and courses.
Arrange the choices in the required order.
Review the submitted preferences carefully.

Current reporting on the live Round 3 process confirms that candidates need to complete registration and then proceed to institution and course selection before locking their preferences.
Chhattisgarh NEET UG choice filling 2026 is an important part of the Round 3 counselling process because candidates are required to indicate the colleges and courses in which they want admission.
Candidates should not fill choices randomly. Before locking the form, they should check the available colleges, course availability and applicable category information. Preferences should be arranged according to the candidate's actual admission choices.
Once the choices are locked, candidates should retain the confirmation details. The submitted preferences are used as part of the seat allocation process.
Round 3 counselling is being conducted for MBBS and BDS admissions through Chhattisgarh state counselling.
For MBBS aspirants, the choice-filling stage allows candidates to select participating medical colleges. BDS aspirants can similarly select the available dental institutions and courses according to the options shown during counselling.
Candidates should check the seat availability and applicable category information before finalising their preference order.
The CGDME has separately issued an update for candidates claiming eligibility under the NRI quota in Round 3.
The official MBBS counselling page lists a September 30 notice regarding submission of documents by email for NRI eligibility verification for the third phase. Candidates applying under the NRI category should therefore follow the separate instructions issued by CGDME instead of relying only on the general registration process.
After candidates complete registration and lock their choices, the counselling authority will process the preferences according to the applicable merit and seat allocation rules.
Candidates allotted seats will then have to follow the prescribed admission process, including document verification and reporting wherever applicable.
A candidate should not consider the admission process complete merely after seeing an allotment. The allotted candidate must follow the reporting and admission instructions issued by the counselling authority and the concerned institution.
Before locking their CG NEET UG Round 3 choices, candidates should check:
College name
MBBS or BDS course
Available seats
Applicable category
Previous counselling participation requirements, wherever relevant
NRI eligibility requirements, if applicable
College and course preference order
Registration details
Choice-filling status
Final deadline for locking choices
Candidates should also download or save the final confirmation after successfully locking their choices.
The official website for Chhattisgarh NEET UG counselling 2026 is cgdme.admissions.nic.in. The Commissionerate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh has published the Round 3 registration and institution choice-filling notice on its MBBS counselling page.
Candidates should use the official counselling portal for registration and should verify any schedule changes through CGDME notices.
The latest official CGDME update confirms that the authority has issued the September 30, 2026 notice for new online registration and institution choice filling for NEET UG MBBS/BDS Round 3 counselling. The live process is now open for eligible candidates.
The Round 3 process is particularly important for candidates still seeking a state counselling seat after the earlier phases. Candidates should complete registration and choice filling within the prescribed deadlines and carefully verify their preferences before locking them.
