Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026: Round 1 Reporting and Document Verification Process Begins

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Raipur, has officially commenced the reporting phase for the first round of Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 counselling. Students who have been allocated seats in medical and dental colleges across the state are now required to complete the mandatory physical reporting and document verification process to secure their admission.

This phase is a critical step for candidates aiming to pursue MBBS and BDS courses in the state. The counselling authority has set a clear timeline for these procedures, and students are advised to adhere strictly to the schedule to ensure their allotted seats remain confirmed. Failure to report to the designated institution within the specified window will lead to the automatic cancellation of the seat.

Reporting Schedule and Admission Guidelines

The reporting window for the first round of seat allotment is currently active and will continue until August 29, 2026. During this period, candidates must visit their allotted medical or dental colleges in person to complete the necessary admission formalities. The process involves the physical verification of original documents, which is a prerequisite for finalizing the seat allocation.

According to the guidelines issued by the Chhattisgarh State Counselling Authority, the daily window for physical reporting and document scrutiny is set to conclude at 3:00 PM. Following the verification process, the overall admission procedures at the college counters will wrap up by 5:00 PM. It is essential for students to plan their visits accordingly to ensure all paperwork is processed within these operational hours.

Important Requirements for Candidates

As part of the admission process, candidates are required to present a set of original documents for scrutiny by the college authorities. These documents are necessary to validate the eligibility criteria and the information provided during the initial registration phase. Students should ensure they have all their academic certificates, identification proofs, and relevant category certificates organized before heading to their respective institutions.

The DME has emphasized that the reporting process is mandatory for all candidates who received an allotment in the first round. By completing these steps by the August 29, 2026 deadline, students finalize their entry into their chosen MBBS or BDS programs. Those who do not complete the physical reporting and verification by the end of the specified date will forfeit their claim to the allotted seat, and the vacancy may be considered for subsequent rounds of counselling.
