Key Instructions for Aspirants
- Registration: The online link for registration was activated on the official DME Assam website today, November 19, 2025. Candidates who had previously registered are typically exempt from registering again and can directly proceed to the choice-filling stage.
- Choice Filling: The actual submission of preferences—listing the desired specialization (MD/MS/Diploma) and college combinations—will begin on November 21st. Candidates must be meticulous while filling out their choices, as the allotment will be strictly based on their order of preference, NEET PG 2025 merit rank, and applicable reservation rules (as per the "Medical Colleges of Assam Rules, 2021").
- Choice Locking: Aspirants must ensure they lock their choices on November 23rd between the specified time window. Unlocked choices will not be considered for the seat allotment process, leading to the candidate's exclusion from the round.
- Joining Deadline: After the result is declared on November 27, provisionally selected candidates will have an extremely short window—only December 2nd and 3rd—to physically report to the respective allotted institutions. Failure to join the college during this period will result in the forfeiture of the seat.
This Round 1 schedule is crucial for aspirants hoping to secure a postgraduate seat under the State Quota. Candidates must prepare all necessary original documents for the reporting stage, which will include mark sheets, degree certificates, internship completion certificate, and NEET PG 2025 documents.
