Two Days Left to Register for Assam NEET PG 2025 Round 1 Counselling

Beware of misleading last-minute news on NEET PG counselling deadlines! The national MCC Round 1 registration ended on November 5, 2025. However, state counselling schedules vary. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, has confirmed its Round 1 registration is open from November 6 to November 9, 2025. This article provides the exact official dates, step-by-step guidance for Assam candidates, and crucial advice for all aspirants on verifying counselling information to secure their MD/MS seat for the 2025-26 academic session.

The postgraduate medical admission landscape is often a highly dynamic and stressful environment, particularly during the initial counselling rounds. A recent misleading statement suggesting a "two-days-left" deadline for NEET PG Round 1 registration—potentially in the context of Assam—underscores the critical importance of relying only on official sources.

​For aspirants targeting the prestigious MD/MS/PG Diploma seats through the NEET PG 2025 merit list, the distinction between central (All India Quota - AIQ) and state-level counselling is paramount. The national-level registration, conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), officially concluded on November 5, 2025. Any claim of a remaining two-day national window is false and could lead to missed opportunities.

​However, the state-level counselling, which manages the remaining 50% state quota seats, operates on its own unique schedule. Following an immediate check of the official notifications, the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, has released a crucial schedule update. The good news for candidates eligible for the Assam State Quota is that their Round 1 registration window is currently open, running from November 6 to November 9, 2025.

​This article serves as an essential, SEO-optimized guide to help all NEET PG aspirants navigate the complex counselling process, focusing specifically on the crucial official deadlines and verification protocols.

​ Central vs. State: Understanding NEET PG Round 1 Deadlines

​It is vital for every NEET PG aspirant to understand the two distinct counselling streams and their respective timelines to avoid fatal errors.

• ​All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling: 
  • ​Conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on the official website: mcc.nic.in.
  • ​Registration for NEET PG 2025 Round 1 concluded on November 5, 2025.
  • ​The Round 1 Seat Allotment Result is highly anticipated, expected to be declared on November 8, 2025.
  • ​Aspirant Action: Those who registered with MCC must now prepare for the seat allotment result and subsequent physical reporting to the allotted college (expected November 9-15, 2025).
• ​State Quota Counselling (Focus: Assam): 
  • ​Conducted by the respective state authority, in this case, the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, on the official website: dme.assam.gov.in.
  • ​The registration window for the Assam NEET PG 2025 Round 1 began on November 6, 2025, and will close on November 9, 2025 (midnight).
  • ​The online filling of choices and locking for Assam will take place immediately after registration, from November 10 to November 11, 2025.
  • ​Aspirant Action: Eligible candidates for the Assam State Quota must complete their registration and fee payment on the DME Assam portal before the November 9 deadline.

​Key Takeaway: The misleading statement may have originated from the confusion between the recently closed MCC deadline and the currently ongoing (or imminently opening) state counselling windows, like the one in Assam. Always check the domain—mcc.nic.in for AIQ and the specific state DME website for State Quota.

​ Action Plan for Assam NEET PG 2025 Aspirants

​Candidates who are eligible for the Assam State Quota must act swiftly and methodically before the registration window closes.

• ​Immediate Registration & Fee Payment: 
  • ​Visit the official DME Assam website: dme.assam.gov.in.
  • ​Locate the specific link for NEET PG 2025 Counselling Registration for Round 1.
  • ​Complete the online application form with personal, academic, and NEET PG details.
  • ​Pay the non-refundable registration fee within the stipulated time, as a successful payment confirms your participation.
• ​Document Readiness: 
  • ​Have all necessary documents scanned and ready for the verification process. This typically includes the NEET PG 2025 Rank Card, MBBS Degree/Provisional Certificate, Internship Completion Certificate, Permanent/Provisional Registration Certificate issued by MCI/NMC/State Medical Council, Domicile Certificate (Assam), Category Certificate (if applicable), and multiple passport-size photographs.
• ​Strategic Choice Filling (Nov 10-11, 2025): 
  • ​While registration ends on November 9, the crucial choice-filling phase is from November 10 to November 11, 2025. Use this time to research colleges and specialties thoroughly.
  • ​Prioritize Choices: List your desired colleges and branches in strict order of preference. A higher rank should go to your most preferred option, regardless of perceived cut-off, to maximize your chances in the allotment process.
  • ​Ensure to lock your choices before the final deadline on November 11, 2025 (4 PM to 11:55 PM). Unlocked choices are not considered for allotment.

​ Guarding Against Misinformation: The SEO and Digital Trap

​In the competitive world of medical admissions, the flow of information online can be overwhelming. Aspirants must develop a critical approach to news, especially regarding deadlines.

• ​Verify the Source: Always cross-reference any deadline or procedural information with the official websites of the governing bodies: MCC for AIQ and the respective state's Directorate of Medical Education (DME) for state quotas.
• ​Check the URL: Fake websites or portals can closely mimic official ones. Ensure the URL is correct (e.g., dme.assam.gov.in, not dme-assam-counselling.in).
• ​Focus on Official Notifications: Do not rely solely on third-party news reports or social media posts, even if they are SEO-friendly. The official, dated PDF notification on the authority's website is the only final word.
• ​Prepare for Subsequent Rounds: Even if you miss Round 1 for any reason, stay updated for Round 2 and the Mop-Up Round. Fresh registrations are usually allowed in Round 2 for candidates not registered in Round 1, though rules vary.

​Conclusion

​The NEET PG counselling process is a marathon of preparation, followed by a sprint of choice-filling and document management. While the national Round 1 window has closed, the opportunities in state counselling, such as the active registration for DME Assam until November 9, 2025, are now front and centre. Aspirants are strongly advised to verify the latest schedule for their specific state immediately on the official DME website. Stay focused, stay informed, and make sure your meticulously earned NEET PG rank translates into your dream PG seat by meeting all official deadlines.
