Unlock My College ListWhat is the Assam Stray Round and why does it matter?
The Stray Round is the concluding phase of Assam's NEET UG counselling process for the 2026 admission session. It exists to allocate any MBBS and BDS seats that remained vacant after the main counselling rounds. This is your final opportunity to secure a medical or dental seat in an Assam government college through state counselling.
Only candidates who completed online registration and locked their college choices during the designated Stray Round window were eligible for consideration in this allotment. If you did not participate in the Stray Round registration (which closed on October 17, 2026), you will not appear in this select list. Any seats that remain unfilled after Stray Round reporting concludes will not be offered through additional state counselling.

Essential documents to bring when reporting to your allotted college
Reporting to your allotted college is mandatory. The college will conduct document verification to confirm your eligibility, category status, and domicile claims before finalizing your admission. You must bring both original documents and self-attested photocopies of each required document. Failure to report within the specified window will result in automatic cancellation of your allotment.
Prepare the following documents in advance: your NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and pass certificates, birth certificate as proof of date of birth, Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC) of Assam, caste or category certificate (if applicable), the allotment letter issued by DME Assam, recent passport-size photographs, and a valid government-issued photo identity proof such as Aadhaar or a passport. Organize these documents in a folder and carry them in person to the college.

Step-by-step reporting process at your allotted college
Once you have confirmed your allotted college from the select list, visit the college in person during the reporting window specified in the admission notice. Present your allotment letter and original documents to the admission office. The college staff will verify your eligibility, category, and domicile status by cross-checking your documents against the information in your NEET application.
After document verification is complete, you will be required to pay the first-year admission fee at the college counter. The fee amount varies by college and course (MBBS or BDS), so confirm the exact amount from the admission notice or the college website before you arrive. Once payment is made and all formalities are completed, your admission will be confirmed and you will receive an admission confirmation letter or receipt.

What happens if you miss the reporting deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college within the specified window, your seat will be automatically forfeited. The college will not hold your seat beyond the deadline, and you will lose your admission opportunity. Since the Stray Round is the final phase of state counselling, there will be no further rounds to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in Assam for the 2026 session.
It is critical that you prioritize reporting on time. If you face genuine hardship or have a valid reason for delay, contact the college admission office immediately to request an extension, though such requests are rarely granted. Plan your travel, arrange your documents, and ensure you have the admission fee ready well before the deadline.
