Medical aspirants must note the critical and converging deadlines for NEET PG 2025 Round 1 counselling. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME Assam) has begun the State Quota registration, with Choice Filling starting November 21 and closing on November 23, 2025. Simultaneously, the MCC All India Quota (AIQ) choice locking deadline has been extended to November 21, 2025 (12:00 Noon). Act quickly on both fronts to secure MD/MS seats in Assam's Government Medical Colleges and top institutions across India.

The pursuit of an MD or MS seat via the NEET PG 2025 is a multi-layered process, requiring candidates to navigate both the national-level All India Quota (AIQ) counselling and the respective State Quota counselling. As of November 22, 2025, aspirants are facing converging, critical deadlines from both the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Assam.

​The DME Assam has officially opened the registration for the Round 1 State Quota counselling for the 50% seats in Government Medical Colleges across the state, including prestigious institutions like Gauhati Medical College (GMC) and Assam Medical College (AMC). Crucially, the online choice filling for Assam State Quota seats has commenced on November 21, 2025, and will close on November 23, 2025 (5 PM).

​In parallel, the MCC announced a final extension for the Round 1 AIQ choice filling, setting the deadline to November 21, 2025 (12:00 Noon). This synchronicity means candidates eligible for both quotas must execute their counselling strategies almost simultaneously. Missing either deadline will forfeit the chance for a seat in that specific quota or round.

​ DME Assam State Quota Counselling: Key Dates and Deadlines

​Assam's counselling process, managed by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), is a mandatory step for local candidates seeking seats in the state's government medical colleges, which are known for their high quality of training and minimal fee structure.

  • ​Registration Window (Closed/Re-opened): The final window for online registration for the 1st Round closed on November 20, 2025 (midnight). Candidates who had already registered earlier are generally not required to register again and can proceed directly to choice filling.
  • ​Choice Filling and Locking: A Tight Window: 
    • ​Choice Filling: November 21, 2025, to November 23, 2025 (5 PM).
    • ​Choice Locking: November 23, 2025 (4 PM to 11:55 PM).
    • ​Note: This choice filling is for the Assam State Quota seats (MD/MS) across institutions like Gauhati Medical College (GMC), Assam Medical College (AMC), Silchar Medical College (SMC), and Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute (BBCI).
  • ​Result and Reporting: 
    • ​Seat Allotment Result: Expected on November 27, 2025.
    • ​Reporting/Joining Date: December 2, 2025, to December 3, 2025.
  • ​Strategic Choice Filling: Assam does not have private medical colleges offering PG seats under the State Quota. Therefore, choices are entirely focused on Government Medical Colleges and affiliated institutions, making the competition for clinical branches extremely intense. Aspirants must list their college/specialization combinations based on their merit rank and realistic cutoff expectations.

​MCC All India Quota (AIQ) Deadline: Last-Minute Strategy

​The AIQ counselling, which accounts for 50% of the government medical seats nationwide, is critical for candidates aiming for seats outside their home state. The MCC’s final extension requires immediate action.

  • ​Final Deadline: The last date for Choice Filling and Choice Locking for MCC NEET PG 2025 Round 1 is November 21, 2025 (12:00 Noon).
  • ​Result Timeline: The processing of the seat allotment is expected to begin immediately after the choice locking, with the Round 1 Result scheduled for release on November 22, 2025.
  • ​Simultaneous Decision-Making: Candidates participating in both AIQ and Assam State counselling must make parallel decisions: 
    1. ​AIQ Choices (Today/Tomorrow): Lock choices before the November 21 deadline. If a highly desired seat is allotted in AIQ, they may choose to skip the Assam State allotment.
    2. ​Assam State Choices (Now until Nov 23): Fill choices for Assam State seats, keeping their AIQ preferences in mind. If an AIQ seat is not allotted or is less desirable than an expected Assam seat, the State Quota can be utilized.
  • ​Flexibility and Forfeiture: Candidates who join an AIQ Round 1 allotted seat will typically be unable to resign to participate in Round 2 of either AIQ or State Counselling. Hence, the choice-filling strategy must be highly cautious and definitive.

​ Top Institutions and Seat Dynamics in Assam

​Assam's postgraduate medical training environment is robust, centered entirely on high-volume, established Government Medical Colleges. Understanding the institutions and their specializations is key to successful choice filling.

  • ​Prominent Government Medical Colleges (GMCs): 
    • ​Gauhati Medical College (GMC), Guwahati: A premier institute with a high volume of seats and wide clinical exposure.
    • ​Assam Medical College (AMC), Dibrugarh: The oldest medical college in the North East, established in 1947, known for its history and facilities.
    • ​Silchar Medical College (SMC), Silchar: Key institution serving the southern region of the state.
    • ​Jorhat Medical College & Hospital (JMC), Jorhat: A newer institution rapidly expanding its PG programs.
  • ​Specialized Institutions:
    • ​Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute (BBCI), Guwahati: Offers specialized PG seats in oncology-related branches.
    • ​AIIMS, Guwahati: Though under AIQ/INI quota, it also influences the state’s medical ecosystem and may have some seats via the State counselling process or subsequent rounds (always check the specific seat matrix).
  • ​Zero Private College Factor: The lack of private medical colleges means there are no Management/NRI quota seats under the State Quota. This makes the competition for the Government-Subsidized seats in Assam even more intense, particularly for coveted branches like MD General Medicine, MD Radiodiagnosis, and MS Orthopaedics. The only option for candidates with lower ranks remains the Deemed/Private institutions through the national MCC/Centralized counselling.

​Conclusion

​The convergence of the MCC AIQ choice locking deadline (November 21, 2025, Noon) and the DME Assam State Quota choice filling period (closing November 23, 2025, 5 PM) creates a high-pressure, high-stakes situation for NEET PG 2025 aspirants. Candidates must prioritize locking their AIQ choices today and then meticulously finalize their Assam State options, carefully weighing the quality of the government seats offered against their rank. Utilize this final window on dme.assam.gov.in and mcc.nic.in to secure your desired MD/MS specialization.
