Chhattisgarh asks for residence, character, and Collectorate sign-off on freedom-fighter claims

The state quota needs a Chhattisgarh residential certificate (you qualify through five years of study in the state, a parent's property or business here, or long residence) and a character certificate. The one item with a tougher requirement is the freedom-fighter quota: that certificate has to come straight from the Collectorate.

What Chhattisgarh requires

Residential certificate. You qualify by studying five years in Chhattisgarh, by a parent's property or business in the state for five years, or by fifteen years' residence, certified by the competent authority.

Freedom-fighter quota. The certificate that backs your claim has to be issued directly by the Collectorate.

You are considered for the 85% state quota and the 15% All India Quota run by the MCC. The documents below cover both. One difference for AIQ: your OBC certificate must be on the Central OBC-NCL list in the central format. A Chhattisgarh OBC certificate works for the state quota but is rejected for AIQ. If you plan to use both, get a central-list OBC-NCL certificate as well.

What it costs
Nominal.
How long
Allow about 2 weeks; apply early.

Watch out: It has to be dated before the last date of registration for the round you are entering, and it is one of the documents checked in person at scrutiny.

How long
Apply early; slots are limited.

Watch out: Only a CGDME State Medical Board certificate works for the state Divyang quota; a District or other board certificate will not get you a seat under that quota, and a state certificate does not cover your AIQ claim or the other way round.

About this guide

Verified 7 June 2026

Prepared by neet2seat. Rules, fees and timelines were verified against official sources as of 7 June 2026, using the 2025 counselling cycle as the baseline because the 2026 MCC and state information bulletins were not yet published when this was written. The 3 May 2026 NEET UG exam was cancelled; the re-exam is on 21 June 2026 with results expected in July, so every counselling date will move accordingly. Fee figures are from 2025 bulletins and can change. Cross-check the exact proforma, fee and signing authority against the official 2026 brochure before you get any certificate made. This is information, not legal advice.
