>

Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh has issued an official notice dated 12 August 2026 regarding an increase in MBBS seats at Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Nawa Raipur for NEET UG 2026 State counselling.

College

Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute of Medical Sciences & Research

Location:

Nawa Raipur, Chhattisgarh

Course:

College Type:

What Has Changed?

CGDME's newly published notice confirms that the MBBS seat strength of Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute has been increased for NEET UG 2026 counselling.

NMC's current college listing reflects a permitted MBBS intake of:

250 seats

Important — Existing CG Round 1 Matrix Still Shows 100 Seats

The currently published Chhattisgarh Round 1 seat matrix dated 5 August 2026 still shows Shri Rawatpura Sarkar with:

Therefore, this new seat-increase notice creates an important seat-matrix revision requirement.

⚠️ Candidates and counselling-data teams should not continue treating the earlier 100-seat matrix as final for this college.

Revised Quota Breakup — Awaited

Although the seat increase itself is officially announced, the revised State / Management / NRI category-wise breakup should be taken only from CGDME's revised seat matrix or subsequent official counselling document.

Do not calculate the new category breakup manually.

Hire Guide Education will track the revised matrix separately.

Why This Matters for Candidates

More permitted MBBS seats at this college can affect:

• Available Round 1 choices
• State Quota seats
• Management Quota seats
• NRI Quota seats
• Category-wise availability
• Closing ranks
• Private MBBS admission chances

However, the exact impact depends on the final revised CGDME quota-wise seat matrix.

4. Watch for CGDME's revised seat matrix.
5. Re-evaluate this college after revised quota/category seats are published.
6. Complete choice filling/locking within the official Round 1 schedule.

Important for Choice Filling

If Shri Rawatpura Sarkar is part of your preference list, the seat increase may improve availability.

But preference order should still consider:

• Tuition fee
• State / Management / NRI quota
• Eligibility
• College preference
• Hospital exposure
• Location
• Bond/rules
• Previous cutoffs
• Total budget

Do not place a college higher only because seats increased.

Hire Guide Education Advice

This update should be treated as a seat-matrix revision trigger.

For the Hire Guide Education database:

• Do not keep 100 seats as final
• Do not manually generate the new State/Management/NRI breakup
• Mark the college as Seat Increase Confirmed
• Mark quota/category breakup as Revised Matrix Awaited
• Update Predictor seat data only after the official revised breakup is available

Candidates should check the revised seat availability again before locking their Round 1 choices.
