Assam NEET PG Additional Marks: Key Details

The official notice does not provide an online submission facility. Candidates should complete the prescribed form attached to the notice and submit it with the required documents at the stated office.

Who Can Apply?

• Candidates must satisfy all the following conditions:
• Be eligible for admission under the Medical Colleges of Assam regulations governing postgraduate degree and diploma admissions, as amended.
• Have secured the applicable NEET PG 2026 qualifying cutoff declared by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences.
• Have served continuously for at least one year in an eligible remote and difficult area under a government department, the National Health Mission or a public authority or agency created by the government.
• Complete and submit the prescribed application form with the required service and NEET PG documents.

Meeting the service condition does not guarantee admission. Additional marks are applied under the relevant Assam PG admission rules, while admission continues to depend on eligibility, merit, counselling rules and seat availability.

How the Additional Marks Are Calculated

The notice states that eligible candidates may receive weightage of up to 3% of the marks obtained in the entrance examination for each completed year of qualifying service in a remote and difficult area.

The maximum benefit is 9%, corresponding to three or more completed years of eligible service. The qualifying service must have been completed on or before May 31 of the admission session.

Marks after adding the weightage cannot exceed the total marks of the entrance examination. Candidates must obtain the required service certification from the competent authority notified by the department.

Candidates should count only completed eligible service and rely on DME Assam for the final award of marks.
