What’s Next for Qualified Candidates

For candidates who have qualified in NEET (UG) 2026, the next crucial stage is the counselling process for seat allotment. This process is conducted at two levels:

1. All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Government of India, conducts counselling for 15% of the MBBS/BDS seats in all government medical and dental colleges across India. Additionally, MCC handles 100% of the seats in Deemed Universities, Central Universities (like BHU, AMU, DU), AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC, and AFMC.
   • Registration: Candidates must register online on the MCC official website (mcc.nic.in).
   • Choice Filling & Locking: After registration, candidates can fill in their preferred colleges and courses. This must be done carefully as seat allotment depends on these choices, NEET rank, and reservation category.
   • Seat Allotment: Based on merit and choices, seats are allotted in various rounds.
   • Reporting to Allotted College: Candidates who accept an allotted seat must report to the respective college for document verification and admission formalities within the stipulated time.
   • Tentative Timeline: MCC is expected to begin NEET UG counselling registrations around July 25, 2026.
2. State Quota Counselling: The remaining 85% of MBBS/BDS seats in government medical and dental colleges, along with seats in private medical colleges (if applicable), are filled through state-level counselling conducted by the respective state authorities. For candidates from Assam, the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, is responsible for conducting the state quota counselling.
   • Registration: Candidates must register on the official DME Assam website (dme.assam.gov.in) to participate in the state counselling.
   • Assam State Merit List: DME Assam will release a state merit list based on NEET (UG) 2026 scores for eligible Assam residents.
   • Document Verification: This typically involves physical verification of documents.
   • Choice Filling & Seat Allotment: Similar to AIQ, candidates will fill choices for colleges within Assam, and seats will be allotted.
   • Reporting: Candidates must report to the allotted college for admission.
   • Tentative Timeline: The Assam NEET UG state merit list is expected in July 2026, with counselling registration likely to follow in July-August 2026.

Candidates are strongly advised to keep all necessary documents ready, including their NEET (UG) 2026 Admit Card, Scorecard, Class 10 & 12 certificates, valid photo ID, and category/domicile certificates (if applicable).
