Chhattisgarh NEET Round 1 MBBS Cutoff 2026: Key Details
The Round 1 MBBS cutoff list covers seat allocation across Government Quota, Management Quota, NRI Quota, and Jain Minority Quota seats in government and private medical and dental colleges of the state, with category-wise breakups for UR, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS candidates. This round covered a combined seat matrix of 3,575 MBBS and BDS seats across government and private institutions.

Cutoff Trend Across Colleges
Demand remained highest at the state’s most sought-after government institutes. Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College, Raipur, and Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS), Bilaspur, saw UR category closing ranks fall as low as rank 46 to 64, reflecting intense competition for these seats.
In contrast, newer government medical colleges, including those at Manendragarh, Janjgir-Champa, Kabirdham, Geedam (Dantewada), and Kunkuri (Jashpur), recorded comparatively higher closing ranks, giving candidates further down the merit list a realistic shot at a government seat.
Private and self-financed institutions such as Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Science, Shri Balaji Institute of Medical Science, and Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute of Medical Sciences filled seats under Management and NRI quotas across a much wider rank range.
What Happens Next
Candidates who did not receive a seat in the Round 1 MBBS cutoff or who wish to try for an upgrade should track the DME Chhattisgarh portal for the Round 2 schedule and seat matrix once Round 1 reporting concludes. Comparing this round’s institute-wise closing ranks against their own state rank will help candidates set realistic expectations for the next round, particularly for the state’s newer government colleges, which are likely to see continued movement as seats are vacated or added.
