Choice Filling Timeline and What It Means for Your Seat
Choice filling—the process of ranking your preferred postgraduate courses and colleges—begins on October 26, 2026 and closes on October 28, 2026 at 5:00 PM. During this window, you log back into the portal using your registration credentials and select your preferred specialities (MD/MS branches) and colleges in order of preference. The system allows you to list multiple combinations; the algorithm will match you to the highest-ranked option for which you are eligible based on your merit rank and category.

After you submit your choices, a choice-locking window opens from October 28, 4:00 PM to 11:55 PM. During this period, you can review and finalize your selections. Once you lock your choices, they cannot be changed. This is a critical step—many candidates lose seats because they fail to lock their choices within the window, causing their preferences to be treated as incomplete. Set a reminder for October 28 afternoon to ensure you lock in time.

Seat Allotment and Result Declaration Schedule
After the choice-locking deadline, the DME Assam will process seat allotments from October 29 to October 31, 2026. During this period, the counselling algorithm runs to match candidates with seats based on merit rank, category, and choice order. A provisional allotment list will be released on November 1, 2026, allowing you to see which seat (if any) has been tentatively assigned to you.
The final allotment result will be declared on November 2, 2026. This is the official list of who gets which seat. If you are allotted a seat in a government medical college or regional institution (such as B.B.C.I., Guwahati) under the 50% Assam state quota, you must report physically on November 9 or November 10, 2026 to complete admission formalities. Failure to report within this window may result in forfeiture of your seat.

Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
Only candidates who have qualified in NEET PG 2026 and are listed in the Assam state provisional merit list are eligible to register for Round 1 counselling. Your eligibility is verified automatically when you enter your NEET PG roll number and application number during registration. If you do not appear on the merit list, the system will reject your registration.
Eligibility also depends on your MBBS qualification. You must have completed your MBBS degree from a recognized medical college and be eligible to pursue postgraduate studies under Indian Medical Council regulations.

- Must have qualified in NEET PG 2026
- Must appear on Assam state provisional merit list
- Must hold a recognized MBBS degree
- Must be eligible under Indian Medical Council norms
What Happens After You Report in November?
Once you report physically on November 9 or 10, 2026, you will complete admission formalities such as document verification, fee payment, and hostel allotment (if applicable). You will then be issued an admission letter and can begin your postgraduate course at the allotted college. The exact start date of the course will be communicated by your college.
If you do not report within the specified dates, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate in the merit list. There is typically no grace period for reporting, so plan your travel and logistics in advance. If you have a genuine emergency preventing you from reporting on time, contact the DME Assam immediately to request an extension, though approval is not guaranteed.
- Report on November 9 or 10 to complete admission
- Bring original documents for verification
- Pay admission fee and hostel charges (if applicable)
- Receive admission letter and course start date
- Non-reporting results in seat cancellation
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration and Choice Filling
One of the most common errors is entering incorrect NEET PG details during registration. Double-check your roll number and application number against your NEET PG admit card before submitting. A single digit error will cause your registration to fail or be matched to the wrong candidate. Similarly, ensure the mobile number you enter matches the one registered with NBEMS during NEET PG; this is used for OTP verification.
During choice filling, many candidates rank colleges and specialities without researching their actual preferences or career goals. Spend time understanding each speciality, the colleges offering it, and their reputation before locking your choices. Ranking a college high just because it is prestigious, without genuine interest in the speciality or location, can lead to regret after admission. Also, do not leave the choice-locking step for the last minute; technical glitches or internet failures in the final hour can prevent you from locking, rendering your choices incomplete.
- Verify NEET PG roll number and application number carefully
- Ensure mobile number matches your NBEMS registration
- Research specialities and colleges before ranking them
- Rank based on genuine interest, not just prestige
- Lock choices well before the 11:55 PM deadline
- Keep your registration receipt and login credentials safe
