This detailed analysis explains the Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 Round 1 result, Government MBBS cutoff, Private MBBS cutoff, category-wise movement, quota-wise difference, BDS allotment trends and Round 2 admission chances.

Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Result — Key Numbers

The official Round 1 allotment PDF ends at:

Serial No. 2,560

So CGDME has published 2,560 provisional MBBS/BDS allotments in the first round.

The official Round 1 merit list contains:

9,195 candidates

This means the published allotment count is roughly 28% of the total Round 1 merit-list headcount.

However, this percentage should not be interpreted as an individual 28% admission chance because candidates have different:

• MBBS/BDS eligibility
• Government/Private eligibility
• categories
• NRI eligibility
• course preferences
• choice lists
• reservation benefits

The correct way to judge your chance is:

College + Course + Quota + Category + Horizontal Class + Closing State Rank

Is the Chhattisgarh Round 1 Result Final?

CGDME has titled the document:

“Provisional Seat Allotment Round 1”

So the current allotment is a provisional allotment, followed by mandatory document scrutiny and admission/eligibility verification.

At the same time, CGDME has separately published the official Round 1 OR-CR, which provides the actual opening and closing State Rank/NEET Score for different college, quota and category combinations.

Chhattisgarh MBBS Cutoff 2026 — Government College UR Round 1

For easier student understanding, below are important Government Quota UR / regular No-Class Round 1 benchmarks.

What Does This Tell Us?

Pt. JNM Medical College Raipur is clearly the strongest Round 1 preference among Government MBBS colleges.

Its regular UR seat closed at:

CG State Rank 64 — NEET Score 583

CIMS Bilaspur was the next highly competitive Government option:

CG State Rank 139 — Score 564

After that, the closing-rank band widens substantially across Rajnandgaon, Jagdalpur, Raigarh, Ambikapur, Durg and newer Government colleges.

This is useful for Round 2 planning.

For example, a UR candidate who narrowly missed:

• JNM Raipur should closely watch vacancies around the first 100 State Ranks
• CIMS should watch movement beyond Rank 139
• Rajnandgaon around Rank 204
• Jagdalpur around Rank 258
• Durg around Rank 432
• Korba/Mahasamund/Kanker around the 500–600 State Rank range

This is not a guarantee of Round 2 admission. Actual movement depends on seats vacated after Round 1.

JNM Raipur Category-Wise Cutoff Insight

The competition changes significantly by category.

Important Round 1 examples include:

• UR No-Class: Closing State Rank 64, Score 583
• UR Female: Closing State Rank 47, Score 589
• OBC: Closing State Rank around 116, Score 569
• SC: Closing State Rank around 815, Score 503

This demonstrates why students should never compare an SC/OBC/ST candidate directly with the UR cutoff.

Female Reservation Is Horizontal

Chhattisgarh's allotment categories include combinations such as:

• UR-F
• OBC-F
• SC-F
• ST-F

Female reservation is therefore a horizontal component within the applicable vertical category, not a completely separate main category.

For example:

JNM Raipur UR Female closed at State Rank 47 / 589, while regular UR No-Class closed at 64 / 583.

Do not compare a Female seat row with a No-Class seat row as if both represent exactly the same seat pool.

PwD, Ex-Serviceman & Freedom Fighter — Compare Separately

The result also contains horizontal classifications including:

• PH / PwD
• EX — Ex-Serviceman
• FF — Freedom Fighter
• Female
• Special ST / PVTG

These special/horizontal seats can move to very different ranks.

A candidate should always check the exact Allotted Category printed in the OR-CR/result instead of using a generic UR/OBC/SC/ST cutoff.

Chhattisgarh Reservation Structure — Why ST Movement Looks Very Different

The official Government seat matrix applies a strong State reservation roster.

For example, Pt. JNM Medical College Raipur originally showed 206 State Quota seats, distributed as:

• UR: 66
• ST: 61
• Special ST/PVTG: 4
• SC: 25
• OBC: 29
• EWS: 21

Within these seats, horizontal allocations include Female, PwD, Freedom Fighter and Sainik categories.

CIMS Bilaspur showed 124 State Quota seats:

• UR: 40
• ST: 36
• Special ST: 3
• SC: 14
• OBC: 18
• EWS: 13

Therefore State-category closing ranks cannot be judged from UR alone.

ST Government MBBS Movement — Important Example

The official allotment list shows Government MBBS ST seats extending substantially deeper than UR seats.

For example:

Baliram Kashyap Medical College, Jagdalpur

• ST-NC allotment is visible around AIR 2,76,604
• NEET Score: 399
• CG State Rank: 3,965

Late Lakhiram Agrawal GMC, Raigarh

• ST allotments are visible around AIR 2,92,259–2,92,260
• NEET Score: 392
• CG State Rank: around 4,166–4,167

These are allotment examples from the official result, not one combined statewide ST cutoff.

The exact closing rank still depends on:

College + ST-NC/ST-F/ST-EX/ST-FF + quota

SC Government MBBS Movement

The official allotment list also shows Government MBBS SC seats extending much beyond UR.

For example, CIMS Bilaspur SC allotments are visible around:

• AIR 90,605, Score 500, State Rank 883
• AIR 91,665, Score 499, State Rank 899

This again shows why category-specific comparison is essential.

Government vs Private MBBS — Huge Difference

This is one of the most important conclusions from Chhattisgarh Round 1.

Government MBBS regular UR seats closed within a relatively tight State Rank range.

But Private Medical College seats extend much deeper because they contain different seat pools:

• GQ — Government Quota
• Mgmt — Management/Paid Seats
• NR/NRI — NRI Quota

These cannot be mixed.

Private MBBS Management Quota — Round 1 Example

At Raipur Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), the official allotment list shows Management UR MBBS seats around:

• AIR 90,554
• NEET Score 500
• CG State Rank 882

Other Management UR allotments in RIMS/Shankaracharya are also visible around the 90,000–1,00,000 AIR band in this portion of the result.

This is a very different competition pattern from Government Medical College UR seats.

Private MBBS Government Quota Can Go Much Deeper

The result also shows RIMS Government Quota UR MBBS allotments such as:

• AIR 2,76,558
• Score 399
• CG State Rank 3,964

with further nearby GQ UR allotments.

So a candidate who is nowhere near Government Medical College UR cutoff may still have a Private Medical College GQ opportunity, subject to:

• exact category
• seat availability
• choice filling
• fee affordability
• Round 2 vacancies

Do not confuse Government Quota seat in a Private Medical College with a seat in a Government Medical College.

OBC Private MBBS Movement

The official allotment list shows private-college GQ OBC allotments going much deeper.

Examples around the later part of the result include:

• Abhishek I Mishra Medical College — GQ OBC-F around AIR 4.14 lakh, Score 350
• Maa Padmawati Institute — GQ OBC-NC around AIR 4.15 lakh, Score 350
• further private GQ OBC seats around the 4.2 lakh AIR range

These are individual official allotment examples rather than one universal OBC private cutoff.

NRI Quota — Completely Separate Admission Route

NRI allotments extend dramatically deeper in NEET rank because NRI is a separate eligibility and fee pool.

The official Round 1 result contains examples such as:

• Shri Balaji MBBS NRI around AIR 11.46 lakh, Score 185
• Shri Balaji MBBS NRI around AIR 11.79 lakh, Score 179

Therefore:

Do not compare NRI closing ranks with Government Quota or Management Quota cutoff.

NRI admission requires specific NRI eligibility/documents and has a substantially different fee structure.

Jain Minority Route Is Also Separate

CGDME identifies:

Minority = Jain Minority Quota

This route should be analysed independently from:

• Government Quota
• Management Quota
• NRI Quota

Minority BDS/other applicable allotments can therefore show very different rank movement.

Chhattisgarh BDS Round 1 Analysis

BDS also shows very different movement from MBBS.

At Government Dental College Raipur, the official result contains regular GQ UR BDS allotments around:

• AIR 91,887, Score 499, State Rank 906
• AIR 99,478, Score 493, State Rank 1,052

For ST Government Dental seats, allotments extend much deeper. Examples appear around:

• AIR 4.15 lakh, Score 350
• AIR 4.21 lakh, Score 348

Private BDS Management/Government Quota seats extend deeper still.

What Does This Mean for a Student Choosing Between MBBS and BDS?

Do not compare BDS closing rank directly with Government MBBS.

If you have a BDS allotment but are hoping for MBBS in Round 2, evaluate:

1. Your category
2. Your current MBBS target-college Round 1 cutoff
3. The gap between your State Rank and that closing rank
4. Government vs Private MBBS affordability
5. Round 1 vacancy movement

2,560 Allotments vs 9,195 Merit Candidates — What It Means

The first-round merit list contains 9,195 candidates and the provisional result contains 2,560 allotments.

But candidates in the merit list are not one identical competition pool.

The merit list itself identifies candidates eligible for combinations such as:

• Government Quota
• Private Quota
• NRI Quota
• MBBS & BDS
• BDS only

Therefore, a candidate at State Rank 4,000 with Private eligibility may have very different chances from a Government-only candidate at the same State Rank.

Round 2 Admission Chances — Government MBBS

Stronger Round 2 Position

Your chances deserve close attention if:

• your State Rank is only slightly beyond your target college's Round 1 closing rank
• you had that college higher in your original preferences
• candidates above you move to MCC/AIQ or another State
• Round 1 non-reporting creates vacancies

Moderate Position

If your rank is somewhat beyond a college's current closing rank, keep:

• all realistic Government colleges
• newer Government colleges
• broader geographic choices

in your future strategy where rules allow.

Large Gap From Government Cutoff

If your rank is far beyond the Government MBBS cutoff for your exact category, do not depend only on Government MBBS.

Evaluate:

• Private GQ MBBS
• Management MBBS
• NRI, if eligible and affordable
• BDS
• subsequent vacancy movement

according to your priorities.

Round 2 Chances — Private MBBS

Private MBBS movement may be much wider because of:

• high fee
• candidates shifting to Government seats
• MCC/deemed/state movement
• non-reporting
• Management/NRI vacancies

The Round 1 result already demonstrates that Private GQ and Management seats operate at substantially deeper ranks than Government Medical Colleges.

However, never choose a private MBBS seat from rank alone.

Check:

College + Quota + Annual Fee + Total Course Cost + Hostel + Eligibility

Most Important Rule After Allotment — Scrutiny Is Mandatory

CGDME's official admission notice contains a very important rule.

Every allotted candidate must personally complete document scrutiny within the prescribed period.

If an allotted candidate does not appear for scrutiny by the last date, the notice states that the candidate can be automatically excluded from the counselling/admission process for the current academic session.

This applies even where the candidate does not finally want to take certain types of allotted seats.

Is Admission Mandatory After Chhattisgarh Round 1?

CGDME makes an important distinction:

Government Medical College

If you are allotted a Government Medical College, the notice states that taking admission is mandatory.

Private Medical / Government Dental / Private Dental

For candidates allotted:

• Private Medical College
• Government Dental College
• Private Dental College

taking admission itself is stated as not mandatory.

However:

Document scrutiny and being found eligible in scrutiny are mandatory for every allotted candidate.

This is extremely important for students considering Round 2.

Do not simply skip scrutiny because you do not want the allotted private MBBS/BDS seat.

Hire Guide Education Analysis

The biggest lesson from Chhattisgarh Round 1 is that there is no single “CG NEET cutoff” that can correctly predict every student's admission.

A Government MBBS UR candidate, ST candidate, Private GQ candidate, Management candidate and NRI candidate are competing in very different seat pools.

For Round 2, compare your position using:

Target College + Course + Quota + Exact Category + Horizontal Class + Round 1 Closing State Rank

If your rank is close to the closing rank of a higher preference, Round 2 movement is worth watching closely. If the gap is large, broaden the strategy rather than depending on an uncertain cutoff fall.
