​DME Chhattisgarh Mop-Up Round: Key Dates and Actions

​The Mop-Up Round is an eleventh-hour opportunity to fill any remaining vacant seats after the initial main rounds of counselling. It's often the last chance for candidates who did not secure a seat or wish to change their previous allotment. Aspirants must strictly adhere to the updated calendar published by the DME.

• ​Choice Filling and Locking Deadline: The definitive deadline for candidates to submit and lock their preferences is October 23, 2025. Once choices are locked, they cannot be modified, so candidates should exercise extreme caution.
• ​Merit List and Seat Allotment: Following the choice locking, the Directorate will proceed with the seat allotment process. The Merit List and Seat Allotment Result for this final round are expected to be published shortly after, likely within a day or two of the choice locking deadline.
• ​Admission and Scrutiny: Candidates who are successfully allotted a seat must be prepared for a very short and compressed window for physical document verification (Scrutiny) and completing the final Admission Process at the allotted institution. This period typically follows immediately after the seat allotment results are declared.

​Essential Checklist for Final Choice Locking

​Securing a seat in the Mop-Up Round is highly competitive, as a limited number of seats are available. A well-researched and strategically filled choices list is non-negotiable.

• ​College Preference Order: Candidates must list their preferences in absolute order of priority. The highest preferred college should be listed first, as the allotment system attempts to assign the highest possible choice based on the candidate's NEET rank and category. 
  • ​Tip: Include all colleges you would be genuinely willing to join, as this is one of the last chances for admission.
• ​Seat Matrix Verification: Before filling choices, candidates must verify the official Mop-Up Round Seat Matrix published by the DME. This matrix details the exact number of vacant seats available in each college for various categories (General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.).
• ​Saving and Locking: After carefully entering preferences, candidates must save their choices multiple times. Crucially, they must perform the Choice Locking action before the October 23rd deadline. An unlocked list will not be considered for seat allotment, and the application will be deemed incomplete.

​Mandatory Documents for Final Admission

​Aspirants who get allotted a seat in the Mop-Up Round must report to the respective college within the stipulated time frame with all original documents for Scrutiny and Admission. Failure to produce any of the mandatory documents can lead to immediate cancellation of the seat.

• ​NEET UG Essentials: 
  • ​NEET UG 2025 Admit Card.
  • ​NEET UG 2025 Score Card/Rank Letter.
  • ​Allotment Letter (downloaded from the official DME portal after seat allotment).

  • ​Migration Certificate, Transfer Certificate (TC), and Character Certificate from the last attended institution.
