Assam NEET 2026 Counselling Dates (Out): Check Stray Round Schedule

DME is responsible for allocating seats in the Assam NEET UG counselling process. The DME tentatively allocated 900 for MBBS and 40 for BDS via the state counselling process across the medical and dental colleges in Assam State.

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Assam releases the seat matrix for Assam NEET counselling before each round. In the original seat matrix, which is released before Round 1, the total number of seats available for admission will be displayed. In the later rounds, the seat matrix indicates the number of vacant seats for that particular round. The seat matrix helps candidates in the choice-filling process. 

In general, the institute reporting process is conducted for three to four days for each round of Assam NEET counselling. Candidates will have to check the important dates carefully and report to the institutes within the deadline. In certain cases, the last date of reporting to institutes is extended. There may be a possibility that DME Assam will conduct institute reporting separately for courses or candidate categories.

The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Assam allots the medical seats by two means during the Assam NEET counselling. Both the ways are dependent on the NEET score/percentile of the candidate and the availability of seats. After that, the preference is given according to the choice of colleges the candidate selected during the Assam NEET counselling form filling process.

Assam NEET 2026 counselling has started. The counselling process generally starts a few days after the commencement of the counselling for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats.
