On 23 August 2026, the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam announced that the 1st Round of online counselling result for MBBS and BDS admission to government medical and dental colleges in Assam has been postponed. The postponement is due to an extension of the 1st Round schedule announced by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India. This affects all candidates who have qualified for NEET UG 2026 and are waiting for their state-quota seat allotment in Assam government colleges. The DME has directed candidates to monitor its official website (www.dme.assam.gov.in) for the revised schedule and further updates.
Assam's 1st Round MBBS/BDS counselling result is postponed indefinitely due to MCC's schedule extension; check dme.assam.gov.in regularly for the new date.

Unlock My College ListWhat Has Happened
The Directorate of Medical Education, Assam has postponed the publication of the 1st Round online counselling result for admission into 1st year MBBS and BDS courses in government medical and dental colleges across Assam for the 2026–27 academic session. This postponement is not due to any issue with Assam's counselling process, but because the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) — the national body that coordinates NEET UG counselling — has extended the schedule for the 1st Round at the all-India level.
The notice does not provide a new date for the result publication. Instead, it states the result is postponed 'until further order', meaning the DME will announce the revised date once the MCC's extended schedule is finalised. This is a temporary hold, not a cancellation.
Who Is Affected
This postponement affects all NEET UG 2026 candidates who have applied for admission to 1st year MBBS or BDS courses in Assam government medical and dental colleges under the state quota. State quota seats are those that Assam fills through its own counselling process (as opposed to All-India Quota seats, which are filled by MCC directly).
If you have qualified NEET UG 2026 and are eligible for Assam state quota (typically, you must be a domicile of Assam or meet the state's eligibility criteria), you are waiting for your allotment in this round. The delay means you will not receive your seat allotment on the originally planned date.
Why the Postponement
The MCC, Government of India, has extended the schedule for the 1st Round of NEET UG counselling across all states. Assam, like other states, must align its state-quota counselling with the national timeline to avoid conflicts and ensure smooth coordination. Because the MCC's 1st Round is now running longer than originally planned, Assam's state-quota result publication has been pushed back.

This is a cascading effect: the national counselling schedule drives the state schedule. Assam cannot publish its state-quota results until the MCC's 1st Round is complete, because the two processes are interdependent.
What You Must Do Now
The DME has explicitly directed all candidates to regularly visit the official website www.dme.assam.gov.in for updates. This is the only official source for the revised schedule. Do not rely on rumours, social media, or unofficial channels.
Check the website at least once every 2–3 days. When the new date is announced, it will be posted there. The DME will also likely notify the media (local newspapers in Guwahati, Jorhat, and Silchar have been asked to publish the notice), so you may also see updates in local news, but the website is the authoritative source.
Keep your NEET UG registration details (roll number, password) safe and accessible. You will need them to log into the counselling portal once the result is published.
- Visit www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly for the revised result date
- Do not rely on unofficial sources or social media for updates
- Keep your NEET UG credentials ready for when counselling resumes
- Check local newspapers (Guwahati, Jorhat, Silchar editions) for official announcements
Important Dates
The notice was issued on 23 August 2026. At that time, no new date for the result was provided. The postponement is indefinite ('until further order'). This means the DME is waiting for the MCC to finalise its extended 1st Round schedule before announcing Assam's revised date.
Candidates should expect an announcement within the next 1–2 weeks, but this is not guaranteed. The exact timing depends on when the MCC completes its 1st Round and communicates the revised timeline to state authorities.

Assam Government Medical & Dental Colleges Covered
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
This counselling covers admission to 1st year MBBS and BDS courses in all government medical and dental colleges in Assam. The notice does not list the colleges by name, but the DME's website (www.dme.assam.gov.in) will have the full list of participating institutions, their seat matrices, and speciality-wise breakdowns.
Both MBBS (5-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BDS (3-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses are included in this round. If you have qualified for either course, you are eligible to participate once the result is published.
State Quota vs. All-India Quota
Assam's counselling covers state-quota seats only. These are seats reserved for candidates who meet Assam's domicile and eligibility criteria. If you are eligible for All-India Quota seats (which are filled by MCC directly through a separate process), you would have already participated in MCC's counselling or will do so independently.
The postponement affects only the state-quota result. All-India Quota counselling follows a different schedule managed by MCC and is not directly affected by this notice.
What Happens After the Result Is Published
Once the DME announces the revised date and publishes the 1st Round result, candidates will be able to log into the counselling portal using their NEET UG credentials and check their allotment. The allotment will show which college and course (MBBS or BDS) you have been assigned, if any.
After allotment, there will be a reporting period during which you must report to your allotted college with original documents (mark sheets, category certificate, domicile certificate, etc.) to confirm your admission. If you do not report within the deadline, your seat may be cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
If you are not satisfied with your allotment, you may be able to participate in subsequent rounds (2nd Round, 3rd Round, etc.) to try for a better college or course, subject to the DME's rules.
Common Questions About the Delay
Many candidates worry that a postponement means something has gone wrong. This is not the case. Postponements due to MCC schedule extensions are routine and happen every year. The DME is simply waiting for the national timeline to stabilise before publishing its state results. This ensures that all candidates are treated fairly and that there are no conflicts between state and national counselling processes.
The delay does not affect your eligibility or your chances of getting a seat. It only shifts the date on which you will receive your allotment. Once the result is published, the process will proceed normally.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Why has Assam's 1st Round counselling result been postponed?
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India, has extended the 1st Round schedule at the national level. Assam must align its state-quota counselling with the national timeline, so the DME has postponed the result publication until the MCC's extended schedule is finalised. This is a coordination measure, not a problem with Assam's process.
When will the new result date be announced?
The notice does not provide a specific date. It states the result is postponed 'until further order'. The DME will announce the revised date once the MCC completes its extended 1st Round schedule. Candidates should check www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly for updates.
Does this postponement affect my eligibility for a seat?
No. The postponement only delays the publication of the result. Your eligibility and chances of getting a seat are not affected. Once the result is published, the counselling process will proceed normally.
Where should I check for the revised schedule?
The official website of the Directorate of Medical Education, Assam is www.dme.assam.gov.in. This is the only authoritative source for updates. The DME has also asked local newspapers in Guwahati, Jorhat, and Silchar to publish the notice, so you may also see updates there.
Does this affect All-India Quota seats?
No. This postponement covers only state-quota seats in Assam government colleges. All-India Quota seats are filled by MCC through a separate process and follow a different schedule.
What should I do while waiting for the result?
Keep your NEET UG registration details (roll number, password) safe and accessible. Check www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly for updates. Do not rely on rumours or social media. Prepare your documents (mark sheets, category certificate, domicile certificate, etc.) in advance so you are ready to report once your allotment is published.
Will there be a 2nd Round and 3rd Round after the 1st Round result?
The notice does not mention subsequent rounds. Typically, Assam conducts multiple rounds of counselling (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes Stray Vacancy rounds), but the schedule for these will be announced by the DME once the 1st Round is complete. Check the website for details.
What documents will I need when I report to my allotted college?
The notice does not list the required documents. Typically, you will need original mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, NEET UG admit card, and other identity proofs. The DME will provide a complete list of required documents when the result is published or in the counselling instructions.
Can I apply for both MBBS and BDS in this round?
The notice covers both MBBS and BDS courses. The counselling portal will allow you to choose your preferences for both courses. You can be allotted to either MBBS or BDS depending on your rank, preferences, and availability of seats.
Is this postponement final, or could there be further delays?
The notice states the result is postponed 'until further order', which means the DME may announce additional updates if needed. However, once the MCC's extended 1st Round schedule is finalised, the DME should be able to publish its result. Check the website regularly for any further announcements.
The 1st Round MBBS/BDS counselling result for Assam government colleges has been postponed due to the MCC's extended national schedule. No new date has been announced yet. Visit www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly — at least every 2–3 days — to check for the revised date. Keep your NEET UG credentials and documents ready. Once the result is published, you will have a limited time to report to your allotted college, so stay alert and act quickly.
