The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam has announced that the choice-filling portal for revised round 2 of NEET-UG MBBS and BDS counselling 2026 is now live. This is a critical step in the state's 85% state-quota counselling process — after you fill your choices, the DME will use them to generate your seat allotment. If you have been declared eligible for revised round 2 and have not yet filled your choices, you must act immediately. Missing this deadline will mean you cannot participate in this round and may lose your seat opportunity.
The choice-filling portal for Assam's revised round 2 MBBS/BDS counselling is open now — fill and lock your preferences immediately or you will not be considered for allotment in this round.
What is revised round 2 choice filling?
Choice filling is the process where you tell the DME which colleges and courses you want to study. During revised round 2, eligible candidates log into the counselling portal, search for available MBBS and BDS seats across Assam's medical colleges, and rank them in order of preference. You can list as many colleges and courses as you wish — the system will then match you to the highest-ranked option for which you qualify based on your NEET rank and category.
This is NOT the final allotment — it is your input to the allotment algorithm. The DME uses your choices, your NEET rank, your category (General, OBC, SC, ST), and your state-quota eligibility to decide which seat you receive. If you do not fill choices, you cannot be allotted a seat in this round, even if you are eligible.
Who is eligible to fill choices in revised round 2?
You are eligible if: (1) you have qualified NEET-UG 2026 with a valid score, (2) you are a resident of Assam or meet the state's domicile criteria, (3) you have been declared eligible by the DME for revised round 2 counselling, and (4) you have not already been allotted a seat in an earlier round that you have accepted and reported to.
If you were allotted a seat in round 1 or round 2 and you accepted and reported to that college, you are NOT eligible to participate in revised round 2. Revised round 2 is for candidates who either did not participate in earlier rounds, were not allotted a seat, or were allotted but did not report.
- Valid NEET-UG 2026 score
- Assam domicile or state eligibility
- Declared eligible by DME for revised round 2
- Not already allotted and reported in an earlier round
How to access the choice-filling portal
The DME has provided a direct link to the choice-filling portal on its official website (dme.assam.gov.in). Click the link labeled 'Click here for choices' on the notice page. You will be taken to the counselling portal login page.
Log in using your NEET roll number and password (the same credentials you used to register for counselling). Once logged in, you will see a list of available MBBS and BDS seats at colleges across Assam. Search by college name, location, or course type, and add your preferred options to your choice list.
- Visit dme.assam.gov.in
- Click the choice-filling link provided in the notice
- Log in with your NEET roll number and counselling password
- Search and select colleges and courses
- Rank your choices in order of preference
- Lock your choices before the deadline
Important: You must lock your choices
After you have filled in all your choices and ranked them, you MUST click the 'Lock' or 'Submit' button to finalize your list. Simply filling choices and logging out without locking them will NOT register your preferences. The system will not consider unlocked choices during allotment.
Once you lock your choices, you cannot edit them unless the DME announces an edit window. Always double-check your list before locking — verify college names, course types (MBBS or BDS), and the order of your preferences.
- Filling choices alone is not enough — you must lock them
- Unlocked choices will NOT be considered for allotment
- Check your list carefully before locking
- Do not log out without locking
What colleges and seats are available?
The notice does not specify which colleges or how many seats are available in revised round 2. This information will be visible when you log into the portal — the system will show you all colleges with vacant seats and the number of seats available in each category (General, OBC, SC, ST) for both MBBS and BDS courses.
Availability depends on how many candidates accepted seats in earlier rounds and reported to colleges. Revised rounds typically have fewer seats than earlier rounds because many seats have already been filled. Check the portal to see the current availability.
Key dates and deadlines
The notice announces that the choice-filling portal is now open but does NOT specify a closing date or deadline for filling choices. This is a critical gap — you must check the DME website or the portal itself for the exact last date and time to fill and lock your choices. Missing this deadline will disqualify you from revised round 2.
Contact the DME immediately if you cannot find the deadline on the portal or website. Do not assume you have unlimited time — counselling deadlines are strict and no extensions are typically granted.
- Choice-filling portal: NOW OPEN (exact closing date not stated in this notice)
- ⚠️ Check dme.assam.gov.in or the portal for the closing date and time
- ⚠️ Missing the deadline will disqualify you from this round
Documents you may need
To fill choices, you only need your NEET roll number and counselling password to log in. However, before you report to a college after allotment, you will need to produce original documents. Keep the following ready: (1) NEET admit card and score card, (2) 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, (3) category certificate (if applicable — SC, ST, OBC), (4) domicile certificate, (5) medical fitness certificate, and (6) any other documents specified in the counselling prospectus.
The notice does not list all required documents for reporting. Refer to the official Assam NEET-UG counselling prospectus or contact the DME for a complete list. Having documents ready now will speed up your reporting process after allotment.
- NEET admit card and score card
- 10th and 12th certificates and mark sheets
- Category certificate (if SC, ST, or OBC)
- Domicile certificate
- Medical fitness certificate
- Check the prospectus for the complete list
What happens after you fill choices?
After the choice-filling deadline closes, the DME will run the allotment algorithm. This algorithm matches your NEET rank, category, and choice list against available seats. You will be allotted the highest-ranked college and course on your list for which you qualify. The DME will then publish a revised round 2 allotment list showing which seat you have been allotted.
Once allotted, you will have a specified time window (usually 2–3 days) to report to your allotted college with original documents and complete the admission process. If you do not report within this window, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate.
- DME runs allotment algorithm after deadline
- You are allotted the highest-ranked college on your list for which you qualify
- Allotment list is published (date to be announced)
- You must report to your college within the specified time window
- Failure to report will cancel your seat
Common mistakes that get applications rejected
**Not locking choices:** The most common mistake is filling choices but forgetting to lock them. Unlocked choices are not considered. Always click the lock/submit button and confirm that your choices are locked before logging out.
**Missing the deadline:** Counselling deadlines are absolute. If you fill choices after the deadline closes, the portal will not accept them. Set a reminder and fill your choices well before the last date and time.
**Filling choices for courses you are not eligible for:** If you are a General category candidate, do not fill choices for SC or ST reserved seats — you will not be allotted them and it wastes your preference. Fill only seats for which you are eligible.
**Not reporting after allotment:** If you are allotted a seat but do not report to the college within the deadline, your seat is cancelled. Even if you are unsure about the college, report first and then explore options — you can always participate in a stray vacancy round later if seats remain.
- ⚠️ Forgetting to lock choices — they will not be considered
- ⚠️ Missing the deadline — no extensions are given
- ⚠️ Filling choices for seats you are not eligible for
- ⚠️ Not reporting to your allotted college within the deadline
Assam's 85% state-quota system explained
Assam's NEET-UG MBBS and BDS counselling is conducted by the DME for 85% of seats in state medical colleges. These are state-quota seats reserved for Assam residents. The remaining 15% are All-India Quota (AIQ) seats, which are counselled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and are open to candidates from all states.
If you are an Assam resident, you are eligible for state-quota counselling through the DME. If you are a non-resident, you can only apply for AIQ seats through the MCC. This notice covers only the DME's state-quota revised round 2 — it does not affect AIQ counselling.
- 85% of seats in Assam medical colleges are state-quota (DME counselling)
- 15% are All-India Quota (MCC counselling)
- State-quota seats are for Assam residents only
- Non-residents apply for AIQ seats through MCC

What is the deadline to fill choices for revised round 2?
The notice does not specify the closing date or time for choice filling. You must check the DME website (dme.assam.gov.in) or the counselling portal itself for the exact deadline. Counselling deadlines are strict — missing it will disqualify you from revised round 2.
Can I edit my choices after I lock them?
The notice does not mention an edit window for revised round 2. Once you lock your choices, you typically cannot edit them unless the DME announces a specific edit period. Always verify your choices carefully before locking.
What if I was allotted a seat in round 1 but did not report?
If you were allotted a seat in round 1 or round 2 but did not report to the college, you may be eligible for revised round 2. However, check the DME's eligibility criteria or contact the DME directly to confirm. Some candidates who did not report may be blocked from participating in revised rounds.
How many colleges can I list in my choice list?
The notice does not specify a limit on the number of choices you can fill. You can typically list as many colleges and courses as you wish. Rank them in order of preference — the allotment algorithm will match you to the highest-ranked option for which you qualify.
What if I do not get allotted a seat in revised round 2?
If you are not allotted a seat in revised round 2, you may be eligible for a stray vacancy round (if announced) or you may need to explore options outside Assam through AIQ counselling. Check the DME website for announcements about further rounds.
Can I fill choices for both MBBS and BDS courses?
Yes, you can fill choices for both MBBS and BDS courses if you are eligible for both. The portal will show all available seats. Rank them in order of preference — if you qualify for an MBBS seat that is ranked higher, you will be allotted that; if not, you may be allotted a BDS seat.
What happens if I fill choices but do not lock them?
If you fill choices but do not click the lock or submit button, your choices will NOT be registered. The allotment algorithm will not consider them, and you will not be allotted a seat in revised round 2. Always lock your choices before logging out.
Do I need to fill choices for all colleges, or can I fill just a few?
You can fill as few or as many choices as you wish. However, filling more choices increases your chances of being allotted a seat. Fill at least your top 5–10 preferred colleges to maximize your options.
What if I am not eligible for revised round 2?
If you were allotted and reported to a college in an earlier round, you are not eligible for revised round 2. If you are unsure about your eligibility, check the DME website or contact the DME counselling helpline for confirmation.
Is this choice filling for state-quota or AIQ seats?
This is for Assam's 85% state-quota seats only. It is conducted by the DME for Assam residents. AIQ seats (15%) are counselled separately by the MCC and are open to all-India candidates. If you are a non-resident, you cannot apply through this DME counselling.
The choice-filling portal for Assam's revised round 2 MBBS/BDS counselling is now open. Log in immediately using your NEET roll number and counselling password, fill your college and course preferences, and lock your choices before the deadline.
