October 21 is when the registration window opens. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam, has released the schedule for Round 1 of NEET PG 2026 state quota counselling, and candidates have five days, from October 21 to 25, to register on the official DME Assam portal.
The counselling covers 50 per cent of the postgraduate seats in Assam’s government medical colleges and the Dr. B. Barooah Cancer Institute (BBCI) in Guwahati. The state published a revised provisional merit list earlier this month, naming 3,585 eligible candidates.
