The figures indicate that most of the listed vacancies are in management quota, particularly for MBBS. Candidates should therefore check the applicable tuition fees and other charges before selecting a private college or management-quota seat.

Government Dental College, Raipur, has 18 vacancies in the published matrix, including 14 seats under the Scheduled Tribe category. Candidates must verify their eligibility for any reserved category before filling choices.
Private dental colleges account for a substantial share of the available vacancies. Candidates should compare the applicable fee structure, location, college facilities and course preferences before locking their choices.
Important Round 4 Update: NRI Seats Converted to Management Quota
The MBBS/BDS Round 4 clear-vacancy matrix includes a note that all remaining NRI seats have been converted to management quota under Rules 13(b) and 13(d) of the Chhattisgarh Medical, Dental and Physiotherapy Undergraduate Admission Rules, 2025.
This is an important consideration for candidates reviewing private-college vacancies. A candidate should not assume that a seat originally associated with the NRI category remains available under the same conditions.
Candidates should check the updated quota and category details in the official matrix before selecting a seat. They should also verify the fee payable under the relevant quota, as management-quota admissions may involve higher tuition fees than government-quota admissions.

- Compare fees: Private management-quota seats may carry substantially higher tuition fees.
- Review the college: Consider location, facilities, clinical exposure and other relevant factors.

- Follow the current schedule: Counselling dates can change, so check for revised notices.
- Keep documents ready: Prepare NEET UG records, educational certificates, identity proof and applicable category documents as required by the admission authority.
