Eligibility criteria for Assam state quota counselling
To participate in Assam state quota counselling, you must meet three conditions: (1) you must be eligible under the Medical Colleges of Assam (Regulation of Admission into Post Graduate Degree and Diploma Courses) Rules, 2021, as amended; (2) you must have appeared in NEET-PG 2026 and secured the prescribed cutoff score or higher; and (3) your name and NEET-PG roll number must appear in the provisional merit list published by DME.
Eligibility under the state rules typically includes factors such as your MBBS qualification, registration with the Medical Council, and residency or other criteria specified by Assam. Meeting the NEET-PG cutoff alone is not sufficient—you must also satisfy the state-specific admission regulations. If you are unsure whether you meet the state eligibility criteria, contact DME Assam directly before the October 16 deadline.
What information is included in the merit list?
The provisional merit list contains comprehensive details about each candidate to ensure accurate identification and ranking. The list displays your NEET-PG roll number, full name, gender, category (General, SC, OBC, EWS, or ST), your NEET-PG 2026 score, your all-India rank (AIR), your permanent address, and the state in which you completed your MBBS degree.
This information serves multiple purposes: it confirms your identity, determines your category-based ranking for seat allocation, and verifies your MBBS qualification state. The inclusion of candidates from all categories ensures that reserved seats are allocated fairly according to government policy.

When will Assam state quota counselling take place?
DME Assam has not announced a separate counselling date in the provisional merit list notice. Instead, the state counselling schedule will follow the timeline published by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The MCC coordinates the overall NEET-PG 2026 counselling process, including both all-India quota and state quota rounds.
You should regularly check the DME Assam website and the MCC official portal for updates on the exact counselling dates. The MCC has already released the overall counselling schedule for NEET-PG 2026, which includes registration windows and seat allocation rounds. State-specific counselling typically begins after the MCC's all-India quota rounds or runs concurrently, depending on the state's preference.
- Assam state counselling date will follow MCC schedule
- Check dme.assam.gov.in regularly for updates
- Monitor MCC official portal for counselling dates
- Registration and seat allocation rounds will be announced separately
- Counselling is conducted online
What happens after the merit list is finalized?
Once the October 16 deadline passes and all correction applications are processed, DME will finalize the merit list. This final list will be used to conduct online counselling for seat allocation. During counselling, you will be asked to register, fill in your choice of colleges and specialties in order of preference, and lock your choices.
Seats will be allocated based on your rank, category, and preferences in accordance with the state's admission rules. After each round of allocation, you will be notified of your allotted seat (if any). If you accept the seat, you will proceed to reporting and admission. If you do not accept or if no seat is allocated in a round, you may participate in subsequent rounds or stray vacancy rounds, depending on the counselling structure.
Key takeaways for NEET-PG aspirants in Assam
The release of the provisional merit list marks a critical milestone in the Assam NEET-PG 2026 admission process. Your immediate priority is to verify that your name and details are correct on the list.

Keep your NEET-PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, and other relevant documents ready for counselling registration. Stay alert for announcements about counselling dates, registration windows, and choice-filling portals.
