The state merit list will be prepared on the basis of NEET PG scores and state‐quota rules.
Choice filling strategy
Since the process is online and time-bound, candidates are advised to review the seat matrix in advance, prepare a preference list of colleges and specialisations, and lock choices by the deadline of 11 November. Missing the lock time may result in automatic choice locking.
Reporting to allotted institutions
Once the seat-allotment result is out, candidates must report to the allotted medical college with original documents and complete admission formalities within the timeline specified by DME Assam. Delay may lead to cancellation of seat allotment.
Overall implications for Assam’s medical landscape
The commencement of the Assam NEET PG counselling from 6 November signifies a proactive move by the state to fill postgraduate seats in its medical system without significant delay. By leveraging a structured online system, the process aims to reduce bottlenecks, enhance transparency and ensure that qualified medical graduates move swiftly into PG training.
Additionally, timely counselling supports healthcare staffing across Assam’s medical colleges and institutions. With specialist doctors entering the system, the quality and capacity of medical services in the state are poised to improve.
