The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam has released general instructions for candidates to register and apply for NEET UG 2025 MBBS and BDS counselling. This is the official online registration process through which all candidates seeking admission to medical and dental colleges in Assam must apply. The registration window requires you to fill an online form, pay a counselling fee of ₹1,000, and upload scanned copies of required documents in specific formats and sizes. This notice sets out the exact rules for filling the form, uploading documents, and what will and will not be accepted — missing these details can result in your application being rejected.
Register online with your NEET UG 2025 details, upload documents in the exact format specified (PDF for documents, JPG for images, with strict size and dimension limits), and pay ₹1,000 counselling fee — no corrections to the form are allowed after submission.
What This Registration Is For
This is the official online registration and application process for admission to MBBS and BDS courses at government and private medical and dental colleges in Assam for the 2025 session. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam manages this 85% state-quota counselling. Every candidate who wishes to be considered for a seat in Assam must complete this registration and upload their documents here — there is no other way to apply.
This is NOT the NEET UG exam itself (that is conducted by the National Testing Agency). This is the counselling and admission process that happens after you have taken NEET UG 2025 and received your score and rank.
Who Is Eligible to Register
You must have appeared for and qualified in NEET UG 2025. Your NEET score and rank determine whether you will be offered a seat; this registration simply allows you to participate in the counselling process.
You must meet the eligibility criteria set out in the 'Medical Colleges And Dental Colleges of Assam (Regulation of Admission into 1st Year MBBS/BDS Courses) Rules, 2017, amended up to 2025'. The notice does not list these criteria in detail, but you must read and understand them before you fill the form. You can download the full rules from the DME Assam website (dme.assam.gov.in). If you do not meet the criteria, your application will be rejected.
If your category has been updated in the latest Assam State Merit List (for example, if you were initially listed as General but are now listed as OBC or SC/ST), you must use the updated category when filling the online form — not the category you used when registering for NEET.
Important: You Cannot Correct Your Form After Submission
This is a critical trap. Once you click the Submit button on the online form, you cannot make any changes or corrections. The DME office will not correct mistakes for you, and they take no responsibility for errors in your submitted form. If you fill in the wrong name, wrong date of birth, wrong category, or any other detail incorrectly, your application may be rejected and you will lose your chance at a seat.
Before you click Submit, carefully verify every single field — your name, date of birth, NEET roll number, category, email address, mobile number, and every other detail. Read through the entire form twice. Once you submit, it is final.
Step-by-Step Registration Process
Follow these steps in order to register and apply:
- Ensure you have a valid email address. All communications from DME Assam will be sent to this email, so use an email you check regularly.
- Visit the DME Assam online application portal (the link is provided on dme.assam.gov.in).
- Read the 'Medical Colleges And Dental Colleges of Assam (Regulation of Admission into 1st Year MBBS/BDS Courses) Rules, 2017' (amended up to 2025) carefully. You can download this from the DME website. Confirm that you meet all eligibility criteria.
- Click the Next button to open the online application form.
- Fill in the form using the exact same details you submitted for NEET UG 2025. If your category has been updated in the Assam State Merit List, use the updated category.
- Write down the password you create and keep it safe. You will need this password to log in later to upload documents.
- Carefully review the entire form before clicking Submit. Once you submit, no corrections are possible.
- After successful submission, you will be prompted to pay the counselling fee of ₹1,000.
- After payment, log in using your Login ID and password to upload your required documents.
- Upload all required documents in the correct format and size (see 'Document Upload Requirements' section below).
- Print a copy of your submitted application form for your records. Do not send the form or any documents to the DME office by post — everything must be uploaded online.
Counselling Fee
You must pay a counselling fee of ₹1,000 at the time of registration. This fee is non-refundable and must be paid online as part of the registration process. If you do not pay this fee, your application will not be processed.
This is a one-time fee for participating in the counselling process. If you are selected for a seat, this fee will be adjusted against your admission fee at the college.
Document Upload Requirements: Critical Format and Size Rules
After you pay the counselling fee, you must upload scanned copies of your required documents. The DME has very strict rules about file format, file size, and image dimensions. If your documents do not meet these exact specifications, they will be rejected and your application may not be processed. Read this section carefully.
The notice specifies two different sets of rules: one for image files (JPG/JPEG) and one for PDF documents. You must follow the correct rule for each document type.
| Document Type | File Format | Maximum File Size | Minimum Width (Horizontal) | Minimum Height (Vertical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Images (photographs, certificates, etc.) | .jpg or .jpeg only | Less than 200 KB | Greater than 400 pixels | Greater than 600 pixels |
| Documents (PDFs) | .pdf only | Less than 250 KB | Not specified | Not specified |
How to Resize and Prepare Your Documents
If your scanned images are too small (less than 400 pixels wide or 600 pixels tall), you must resize them before uploading. The notice provides this method: Open the image in Microsoft Paint, click on Image, select Pixels (not percentage), and specify the horizontal and vertical dimensions you need. For example, if your image is 300 × 500 pixels, resize it to at least 400 × 600 pixels.
Pre-scan all your documents and save them on your computer before you start the registration process. Name each file clearly so you know which document is which. Have them ready on your desk before you begin uploading — this will save time and reduce the chance of uploading the wrong file.
Do not use percentage-based resizing in Paint — always use pixels. Do not convert JPG files to PDF or vice versa; use the format specified for each document type.
Which Documents to Upload
The notice does not provide a detailed list of which specific documents you must upload (such as 10th certificate, 12th certificate, NEET admit card, category certificate, etc.). However, it states that 'Annexures and other relevant documents are available in the official website of this directorate — dme.assam.gov.in which can be downloaded from the website.'
You must visit dme.assam.gov.in and download the complete list of required documents (the Annexures) before you begin uploading. Do not guess which documents are needed — missing even one required document can result in your application being rejected. Download the list, gather all documents, scan them in the correct format and size, and then upload them.
Email and Mobile Number — Keep Them Active
The email address and mobile number you provide in the application form will be used for all further correspondence from DME Assam. This includes counselling schedules, seat allotment results, and important notices. You must fill in a valid, active email address and mobile number that you check regularly.
If you provide an incorrect or inactive email or mobile number, you may miss critical deadlines and lose your seat. Double-check these details before submitting the form.
Using Your Login ID and Password
When you register, you will create a password. Write this down and keep it in a safe place. You will need this password every time you log in to the portal to upload documents, check your status, or make any other changes.
The security of your password is your responsibility. Do not share it with anyone. If you forget your password, you may not be able to access your application. If you lose access to your account, contact the DME office immediately.
What Happens After You Submit
After you submit your online form and pay the counselling fee, you will be able to log in and upload your documents. The notice does not specify a deadline for document upload, but you must upload them 'before the scheduled date'. Check the DME Assam website or your email for the exact document upload deadline — do not miss it.
Once your documents are uploaded and verified, you will be included in the counselling process. Your NEET rank and category will determine your eligibility for seats. The DME will release a merit list, and if your rank qualifies, you will be called for counselling and seat allotment.
Do Not Send Documents by Post
You do not need to send a printed copy of your application form or any documents to the DME office by post. Everything must be uploaded online through the portal. Sending documents by post will not help your application and may cause confusion.
However, you should print a copy of your submitted application form for your own records and future reference.
Where to Find More Information
All Annexures (lists of required documents), rules, and other relevant information are available on the official DME Assam website: dme.assam.gov.in. Download and read these carefully before you register.
If you have questions, contact the DME office directly. Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media for information about the counselling process.
