Bihar and Chhattisgarh have released the NEET UG 2026 Round 1 counselling allotment and opening-closing rank data for MBBS and BDS admissions.

Bihar NEET UG Round 1 Cutoff 2026

The Bihar UGMAC Round 1 cutoff document includes separate ranks for General, Female, category-specific, NRI, minority and other applicable seat categories.

The table below highlights selected General UR MBBS closing ranks from the official Bihar Round 1 opening-closing rank document.

These ranks are for the specified General UR seat type only. Female, EWS, EBC, BC, SC, ST, DQ and other categories have separate opening and closing ranks.

Bihar Private MBBS Cutoff

Private medical-college closing ranks can be substantially different from government-college cutoffs because fee structure, location, seat category and college preference affect demand.

The Bihar document also shows that closing ranks can differ sharply for NRI and minority-category seats. Candidates should check their exact seat category rather than comparing only one general cutoff number.

Bihar BDS Cutoff Highlights

The Bihar Round 1 list includes BDS closing ranks for government and private dental colleges.

Before adding any private BDS college in future rounds, check the complete tuition fee, hostel charges, clinical exposure, location and total course cost.

Chhattisgarh NEET UG Round 1 Cutoff 2026

The Directorate of Medical Education, Chhattisgarh has published the Round 1 allotment list and opening-closing rank information for MBBS and BDS counselling. The following figures are reported Round 1 state ranks for selected colleges. Candidates must confirm their exact category and seat quota from the official CGDME OR-CR document.

For BDS, reported Round 1 closing ranks include 1,287 at Government Dental College, Raipur; 7,445 at Rungta College of Dental Sciences and Research, Bhilai; 8,241 at Triveni Institute of Dental Sciences, Bilaspur; 8,550 at New Horizon Dental College, Bilaspur; and 8,997 at Maitri College of Dentistry and Research Center, Durg.

How to Use These Cutoffs for Round 2

Round 1 closing rank data is useful, but candidates should use it correctly.

Check Your Exact Category

A general-category cutoff may not apply to EWS, OBC, SC, ST, PwD, female, minority, NRI or other seat categories.

Better approach: Find your exact category and seat type in the official opening-closing rank PDF.

Compare College and Course Together

Do not select a college only because the closing rank is within your range.

Check before choice filling:

• Course: MBBS or BDS preference
• College type: Government or private
• Fee: Annual tuition, hostel, mess and other charges
• Location: Distance from home and travel cost
• Hospital exposure: Attached teaching hospital and clinical learning environment
• Bond conditions: Service bond or penalty conditions, where applicable
• Seat category: Eligibility for the specific quota

Do Not Expect the Same Rank Again

Round 2 cutoffs may move up or down depending on seat vacancies, resignations, fresh registrations, choice filling and candidate preferences.

Important note: A Round 1 cutoff is a planning reference, not a guaranteed admission prediction.

What Candidates Should Do Next

Candidates who received a Round 1 seat should follow the reporting, document-verification and fee-payment instructions issued by their counselling authority.

Candidates who did not receive a seat or want a better option should prepare for the next round.

Keep ready:

• NEET UG scorecard: Downloaded and printed copy
• Allotment letter: If a seat is allotted
• Class 10 and 12 documents: Original and photocopies
• Category certificate: If applicable
• Domicile certificate: Required for state counselling where applicable
• Fee details: Full cost of every college in your choice list
• Preference list: Dream, realistic and safe college options
