The final and most crucial phase of the Assam NEET PG 2025 counselling Round 1—the choice filling and locking—is now in its concluding moments. For all registered candidates aspiring for postgraduate medical and dental seats (MD/MS/PG Diploma) under the Assam State Quota, this is a high-stakes deadline that cannot be ignored. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, is managing this online process on its official website, and candidates must meticulously select and lock their preferred colleges and specialisations. With the choice locking window closing on November 11, 2025, aspirants have less than 48 hours to secure their future in the medical landscape of Assam.

​It is paramount for every registered candidate to understand that the seat allotment process is entirely dependent on the choices filled and locked during this window, in conjunction with their NEET PG 2025 merit rank and applicable reservation policies. Failing to lock choices by the scheduled time could lead to an automatically locked list (if available), but manual locking is strongly advised to ensure the submitted preferences are accurate and complete.

​ I. Crucial Timelines and State Authority Mandate

​The admission process for the 50% State Quota seats in Assam's Government Medical Colleges and institutions like B.B.C.I., Guwahati, is conducted by the state authorities—the DME, Assam—and is separate from the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling handled by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Aspirants must adhere strictly to the schedule published on the DME website.

• ​Choice Filling Window: The online filling of college and course preferences is available from November 10, 2025, to November 11, 2025, up to 5:00 PM.
• ​Choice Locking Period: The mandatory step of locking the preferences is scheduled for November 11, 2025 (4:00 PM to 11:55 PM). Candidates are highly encouraged to lock their choices within this period to prevent discrepancies.
• ​Process Management: The entire counselling for the state quota is conducted and monitored solely by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam (Official website: dme.assam.gov.in), making all official notifications on their portal the only reliable source of information.
• ​Seat Allotment Results: The processing of seat allotment will take place between November 12 and 14, 2025, with the Round 1 result expected to be declared on November 15, 2025.

​ II. Strategic Approach to Choice Filling and Locking

​Filling choices requires a strategic and informed approach, as this step determines the final seat allotment. Aspirants should treat this phase with utmost seriousness, as a well-planned list dramatically increases the chances of securing a high-preference seat.

• ​Prioritise Wisely: Candidates should list their desired college-specialisation combinations in strict descending order of preference. Your absolute top choice (e.g., General Medicine at the most reputed college) must be listed first, even if your rank is borderline.
• ​Consult the Seat Matrix: Before filling choices, it is imperative to thoroughly study the official Assam NEET PG 2025 Seat Matrix released by DME. This document provides a detailed breakdown of available seats across all specialities and colleges, categorized by reservation (General, SC, ST(P), ST(H), OBC/MOBC, EWS, etc.). Understanding seat distribution is fundamental to making realistic and informed choices.
• ​Adopt a Top-Mid-Safe Strategy: A proven method is to arrange choices in three bands: 
  • ​Top Choices: Aspirational colleges and specialisations where securing a seat is possible but not guaranteed.
  • ​Mid-Range Choices: Realistic options based on a detailed analysis of previous years' cut-off data for your rank and category.
  • ​Safe Bets: Colleges and courses that you would be content with and have a high probability of securing, ensuring an MD/MS seat in Round 1.
• ​Avoid Irrelevant Choices: Only include colleges and courses that you are genuinely willing to join. Listing an undesirable option could lead to its allotment, obligating you to join or risk losing your security deposit and eligibility for subsequent rounds.
• ​Mandatory Locking: After finalizing the preferences, candidates must log in and click the 'Lock Choices' button within the stipulated time. The system will prompt you for a confirmation password. Un-locked choices may be automatically locked, but this feature is a backup, and manual confirmation is the safest course of action.

​ III. Document Readiness and Post-Allotment Steps

​While the immediate focus is on choice locking, aspirants must prepare for the next critical step: physical reporting and document verification, which follows the seat allotment result. Having the necessary documentation ready will ensure a smooth admission process.

• ​Key Documents Checklist (Originals and Self-Attested Copies): 
  • ​NEET PG 2025 Admit Card and Result/Rank Letter.
  • ​MBBS Degree/Provisional Certificate and Mark Sheets of all Professional Exams.
  • ​Internship Completion Certificate (completed by the specified date).
  • ​Permanent/Provisional Registration Certificate issued by NMC/SMC.
  • ​Assam Domicile/Permanent Resident Certificate (Mandatory for State Quota).
  • ​Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/MOBC/EWS, if applicable), issued by the competent authority.
  • ​Valid Photo ID Proof (Aadhaar Card, Passport, etc.).
  • ​Provisional Allotment Letter (to be downloaded after the result is declared on November 15, 2025).
• ​Post-Allotment Options: After the declaration of the Round 1 result, candidates will have several options: 
  • ​Accept and Join: Accept the allotted seat and physically report to the college for document verification and fee payment.
  • ​Accept and Upgrade: Accept the seat but choose to participate in the next round for a better preference.
  • ​Reject and Participate: Surrender the seat and opt to participate in the subsequent rounds, adhering to exit policies.

​Conclusion

​The deadline of November 11, 2025, for choice locking in the Assam NEET PG 2025 Counselling is the final frontier for state-quota aspirants. Meticulous planning, cross-referencing with the official seat matrix, and timely locking of preferences on the official DME website (dme.assam.gov.in) are the keys to a successful allotment.
