DME Assam – Counselling Authority & Process

The Assam NEET counselling process is conducted in online mode through the official portal (dme.assam.gov.in). After NEET UG 2026 results are declared (expected June 2026), DME Assam publishes a state merit list based on NEET scores and domicile verification. Eligible candidates participate in multiple counselling rounds — Round 1, Round 2, mop-up, and stray vacancy — where they fill college and course preferences before the seat allotment algorithm assigns seats based on merit, category, and availability. Candidates allotted a seat must report to the assigned college with original documents and pay fees within the stipulated timeline. The registration fee is ₹500–₹2,000.
