​ Choice Filling & Allotment Strategy: Maximizing Your Seat Chances

• ​Prioritize Wisely: Candidates should list their preferred college-specialization combinations in descending order of preference. Put your absolute top choice (e.g., MD Radiodiagnosis at GMCH) as Choice No. 1, even if you think your rank is slightly borderline.
• ​Research the Seat Matrix: Before filling choices, thoroughly study the Assam NEET PG 2025 Seat Matrix released by DME. This matrix details the available seats in each specialty and college, broken down by various reservation categories (General, SC, ST(P), ST(H), OBC/MOBC, EWS, etc.). Understanding the seat distribution is key to making informed choices.
