Assam NEET MDS Counselling 2024

Assam NEET MDS Counselling, provided by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, provides access to prestigious postgraduate dental programs throughout the country. This centralized process provides exciting opportunities to pursue your desired MDS specialization without leaving your region.

The counselling process begins with the release of the merit list, which has been painstakingly compiled based on candidates’ NEET MDS scores. Those who qualify and have Assam domicile can register for counselling, meticulously filling out their college and specialization preferences. The seat allocation is then orchestrated by the Directorate of Medical Education, which matches candidates’ ranks with their preferences using a transparent and pre-defined algorithm. This system ensures a fair and equitable distribution of seats, allowing every qualified candidate to pursue their desired specialty.

Counseling is typically conducted in rounds, giving candidates additional chances to secure a seat if their first preference was not assigned in earlier rounds. The Directorate of Medical Education provides comprehensive support and guidance throughout the process. Their website serves as a one-stop shop for all necessary information, such as the schedule, eligibility criteria, seat matrix, and counseling guidelines.
