Chhattisgarh has released updated seat-vacancy matrices for medical and AYUSH admissions for the 2026–27 academic session, giving eligible candidates a clearer picture of the seats available in the remaining counselling rounds. The latest updates cover 180 vacant MBBS and BDS seats for the NEET UG Round 4 Stray Vacancy Round and 369 BAMS and BHMS seats for the AYUSH Mop-Up Round.

The MBBS/BDS matrix includes 87 MBBS vacancies and 93 BDS vacancies across government and private institutions. The BAMS/BHMS matrix includes 295 BAMS seats and 74 BHMS seats distributed across state quota, minority institutions and All India Quota categories.

The Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh, has also opened the online registration and choice-filling process for the NEET UG Round 4 Stray Vacancy Round. Eligible candidates should review the relevant seat matrix, check the quota and category of each vacancy, and complete the required online steps before the deadline.

Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 Seat Matrix: Key Highlights

Candidates should note that the MBBS/BDS Stray Vacancy Round and the BAMS/BHMS Mop-Up Round are separate counselling processes. Their registration requirements, seat matrices, eligibility rules and schedules may differ.

Chhattisgarh MBBS/BDS Round 4 Seat Matrix 2026: 180 Vacancies

The MBBS/BDS Round 4 clear-vacancy matrix lists 180 seats remaining for the Stray Vacancy Round. The vacancies are distributed across government quota, management quota and minority quota categories.

Course-Wise Seat Distribution

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.

The matrix also notes that the remaining NRI seats have been converted to management quota under the applicable Chhattisgarh undergraduate admission rules. Candidates should consult the official matrix and current admission notice for the precise conditions governing these converted seats.

College-Wise MBBS Vacancies in Chhattisgarh

The Round 4 MBBS matrix lists vacancies across government and private medical colleges. The college-wise distribution includes the following:

Among the colleges listed, Abhishek I Mishra Memorial Medical College and Research, Bhilai, has the largest reported number of MBBS vacancies, with 26 seats. Raipur Institute of Medical Sciences has 23 vacancies, while Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research has 20.

These figures are vacancy counts in the published matrix, not the total sanctioned intake of the respective colleges.

College-Wise BDS Vacancies in Chhattisgarh

The BDS seat matrix includes 93 vacant seats distributed among government and private dental colleges.

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.

Chhattisgarh BAMS/BHMS Round 3 Seat Matrix 2026: 369 Seats

Alongside the MBBS/BDS vacancy matrix, the published AYUSH seat matrix lists 369 seats for BAMS and BHMS admissions under the Round 3 Mop-Up counselling process.

The seats are divided among state quota, minority institutions and All India Quota categories.

Course-Wise BAMS/BHMS Seat Distribution

BAMS accounts for 295 seats, while BHMS accounts for 74. The state quota contributes 258 seats, followed by 75 seats in minority institutions and 36 under the All India Quota.

These are the figures in the published Mop-Up Round matrix. Candidates should consult the latest AYUSH counselling notice to confirm whether the listed vacancies remain available and whether the choice-filling window is still open.

College-Wise State Quota BAMS/BHMS Seats

The state quota matrix includes the following institutions and vacancies:

The listed state quota vacancies total 189 BAMS seats and 69 BHMS seats.

The state quota is distributed across applicable categories, including Open, EWS, Special Backward Class ST, ST, SC and OBC, as well as specified subcategories such as women, persons with disabilities, ex-servicemen and freedom fighters. Candidates should verify the category-wise breakup in the official matrix rather than assume that every seat is open to all applicants.

Minority Institution BAMS Seats

The published matrix lists 75 seats in minority institutions for BAMS admissions.

The listed minority institution seats are marked as domicile-free in the matrix. Candidates should nevertheless check the official eligibility conditions, documentary requirements and rules governing minority-category claims before selecting these seats.

BAMS/BHMS All India Quota Seats

The published AYUSH matrix also includes 36 seats under the All India Quota, without reservation in the listed distribution.

Candidates interested in these seats should check the relevant AYUSH counselling portal and current eligibility rules before submitting choices.

Important Advice Before Choosing a Seat

Candidates should consider more than the number of vacancies when preparing their preference list.

• Check eligibility: Ensure that you satisfy the rules for the course, quota and category.

• Compare fees: Private management-quota seats may carry substantially higher tuition fees.

• Review the college: Consider location, facilities, clinical exposure and other relevant factors.

• Understand the quota: Do not assume that an NRI, minority or reserved seat is available under open-category conditions.

• Lock choices carefully: Review the order of preferences before final submission.

• 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.

A seat matrix indicates vacancies at the time of publication. It does not guarantee allotment to a particular candidate, and availability may change because of withdrawals, revised allotments or further official updates.
