Assam NEET UG counselling 2026 is essential for candidates seeking admission to government medical and dental colleges in Assam through the 85% state quota. NEET UG 2026 was conducted by NTA as the Re-NEET on 21 June 2026 (the original 3 May 2026 exam was cancelled by NTA on 12 May 2026); the Re-NEET result is Expected late July 2026 on neet.nta.nic.in. Because of the Re-NEET shift, DME Assam's counselling window will run roughly August–October 2026 — about six weeks later than the original 2025 trend. The process will consist of multiple rounds, with seat allocation based on NEET 2026 scores, category rank, and Assam-specific reservations (OBC 27% / SC 7% / ST-Plains 10% / ST-Hills 5% / PwBD 3%).
Key Takeaways:
- Registration and document submission for NEET UG counselling must be within a stipulated timeframe; delays may lead to cancellation.
- Seat allotment depends on NEET scores, preferences, and category ranks; results are released after processing.
- Choice filling for Assam NEET UG 2026 is Expected in mid-September 2026 — roughly six weeks later than the 2025 cycle (July 30–August 2, 2025) because of the NEET UG 2026 Re-NEET (21 June 2026) shift.
- Essential documents include NEET 2026 scorecard and PRC for verification.
