Role of the Commissionerate of Medical Education

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Chhattisgarh, operates under the Commissionerate of Medical Education, a government body established in 2000 under the Department of Health and Family Welfare. This Commissionerate is handling administering 21 medical colleges, 7 dental colleges, and over 125 nursing colleges within the state. Its primary responsibilities include ensuring the availability of infrastructure, equipment, drugs, and human resources for these institutions and their affiliated hospitals.

Beyond infrastructure and resource management, the Commissionerate also handles student counselling for admissions to these medical and dental institutions. For postgraduate medical seats, Chhattisgarh employs two counselling bodies: the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for the 50 percent All India Quota, and the DME Chhattisgarh for the remaining 50 percent State Quota seats.
