Chhattisgarh NEET PG Seat Matrix is the official list of MD, MS and PG Diploma seats available in government and private medical colleges across Chhattisgarh. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Raipur, releases this matrix round-wise at cgdme.admissions.nic.in before each stage of state quota counselling. The 2025-26 cycle saw a major disruption – the Chhattisgarh High Court cancelled the first two counselling rounds and the state had to notify a revised set of admission rules – so this cycle’s framework looks different from previous years in a few important ways.
This article covers the current seat matrix, the January 2026 court-ordered rule revision, the state’s distinctive reservation structure, recent seat expansions, counselling dates, and documents required.
