Medical aspirants in Assam, stay alert! Following the conclusion of the category correction window yesterday, July 11, 2025, the Final Merit List for Assam NEET UG 2025 is now highly anticipated. DME Assam will release this definitive list soon, paving the way for the detailed MBBS/BDS counselling schedule and your Higher Education journey.

For thousands of medical and dental aspirants in Assam, the focus now shifts to the imminent release of the Final Merit List for Assam NEET UG 2025 counselling. This pivotal development follows the strict deadline for category corrections, which closed yesterday, July 11, 2025. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME Assam) is currently in the process of reviewing all valid submissions received during the correction window, a crucial step before the compilation and publication of the definitive ranking for MBBS and BDS admissions.

The provisional merit list, which was released on July 7, 2025, provided an initial snapshot of qualified candidates. However, it is the Final Merit List that will serve as the authoritative document for all subsequent seat allotment procedures, making its upcoming release a moment of significant anticipation for all those pursuing Higher Education in the medical field within Assam.

Post-Correction Phase: What Aspirants Should Know

With the category correction window now closed, DME Assam will meticulously incorporate all verified changes into the master database. This ensures that the Final Merit List accurately reflects each candidate's correct category, including reservations for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD categories, based on the documents submitted. Accuracy at this stage is paramount, as any error on the final list could severely impact a candidate's chances during seat allotment.

While a precise date for the release of the Final Merit List has not been announced by DME Assam, official communications indicate it will be published "in due course of time" on their official website, dme.assam.gov.in. Aspirants are strongly advised to regularly monitor the website for this crucial update.

Anticipating the Counselling Schedule and Rounds:

The publication of the Final Merit List will be swiftly followed by the unveiling of the comprehensive counselling schedule for Assam NEET UG 2025. This schedule will detail the timelines for various stages of the admission process, including:
