How cutoffs change across rounds
Chhattisgarh counselling typically runs 4 rounds (R1, R2, MOP and STRAY). Cutoff ranks tend to rise (become less competitive) in later rounds as candidates who secured seats elsewhere drop out of the process.
For example, Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College, Raipur had an R1 cutoff of 20,160 that moved to 24,483 by R2, a shift of about 4,323 ranks.
Later rounds fill seats vacated by candidates who accepted offers elsewhere. If you narrowly missed a college in R1, the final round may still work in your favour. Track round-by-round changes in the Cutoff Analyzer.
Year-over-year trends
Chhattisgarh cutoff data on this page covers 2025 only. Year-over-year trends will become available once 2026 data is published.
How to use this data
Start by checking where your expected NEET rank falls relative to the cutoffs above. If your rank is within 10-15% of a college’s closing rank, that college is worth listing in your preference order.
Use the College Predictor to see which colleges match your rank and category. Then use the Choice Filler to build an optimised preference list you can submit during counselling.
Pay attention to the round-by-round pattern. A college that fills in R1 at rank 20,000 but drops to 28,000 by the final round gives you a realistic shot if your rank is in the mid-20,000s. Conversely, colleges whose cutoffs tighten across rounds are harder to get into later.
Category-specific cutoffs matter. The reservation categories page in our Chhattisgarh category guide explains eligibility requirements and document checklists for each category.
