The **Chhattisgarh NEET UG counselling 2025 Mop-up round** has been postponed. This means students waiting for their chance to get **MBBS** and **BDS** seats in Chhattisgarh will have to wait longer. The **Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Chhattisgarh** announced this delay. New dates and the full schedule will be shared soon on the official website, **cgdme.in**.
Students who passed the **National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduates (NEET UG) 2025** exam and wish to join medical or dental courses through the **85% state quota** in Chhattisgarh are affected. The Mop-up round is usually the last chance to get a seat from those remaining after previous rounds. All activities related to this round, like registration, filling choices for colleges, publishing the list of selected students (merit list), seat allotment, and the final date for admission, are now on hold.
The official website, cgdme.in, has put up a notice saying, "The Mop Up round of CG State NEET UG counselling is postponed. The updated schedule will be posted next week." This tells students that they should keep checking the website regularly for the new timeline. It is very important for students to complete their application forms and submit them before the new last date to avoid any problems. Only students who are eligible will be allowed to take part in the counselling process.
What is NEET UG Counselling?
NEET UG counselling is a process where students who have passed the **NEET UG** exam apply for admission to medical (MBBS) and dental (BDS) colleges. After passing NEET, students cannot directly join a college. They must go through this counselling process. In Chhattisgarh, the **DME** manages the counselling for 85% of the seats in state medical and dental colleges. The other 15% of seats are filled by central counselling bodies.
Steps in Counselling:
- **Registration:** Students must first sign up online to join the counselling process.
- **Choice Filling:** After registering, students select the colleges and medical courses they prefer. They rank their choices.
- **Merit List:** The authorities create a list of eligible students based on their NEET scores and other rules.
- **Seat Allotment:** Based on their rank and choices, students are assigned a seat in a specific college.
- **Admission:** Students who get a seat must visit the assigned college with their documents to confirm their admission by the given date.
The Mop-up round is like a final extra round. It is held to fill any seats that are still empty after the main counselling rounds are over. It provides one more chance for students who might not have gotten a seat earlier to secure admission.
