Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026: Special Stray Round Registration and Choice Filling Closes Today

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) in Chhattisgarh is set to close the registration and choice-filling window for the NEET UG 2026 special stray round today. This final phase of the state-level counselling process is intended for candidates seeking admission into MBBS and BDS programmes across the state.

Eligible students who have not yet completed their applications are advised to visit the official counselling portal at cgdme.admissions.nic.in to finalise their submissions. The process requires candidates to provide necessary personal and academic details, complete the registration formalities, and pay the prescribed counselling fee to participate in this round.

Steps to Complete Registration and Choice Filling

To participate in the special stray round, candidates must first navigate to the official website, cgdme.admissions.nic.in, and locate the dedicated section for NEET UG 2026 counselling. Once there, applicants should click on the link provided for the special stray round registration.

After entering their NEET UG roll number and other required personal credentials, candidates must complete the fee payment process. Following a successful registration, applicants can log in to the portal to select their preferred medical and dental colleges. It is essential for candidates to arrange their choices in order of preference and ensure that they lock their selections before the deadline expires. The authorities recommend that students review the available seat matrix and category-specific information carefully before finalising their choices to ensure an informed decision.

Important Considerations for Applicants

The special stray round is a critical component of the Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 counselling process, specifically designed to fill remaining vacancies in MBBS and BDS courses. As this is the final opportunity for candidates to secure a seat through the state counselling process, it is imperative that all steps, including the locking of choices, are completed within the stipulated timeframe.

Once the registration and choice-filling window closes today, no further modifications to the preferences will be permitted. Candidates are encouraged to download or save a copy of their confirmation page for future reference. The DME will proceed with the subsequent stages of the admission process based on the data submitted by the candidates during this window.
