Assam NEET UG 2025 2nd Round Counselling Schedule
What is NEET UG Counselling?
The NEET UG counselling is a process for picking MBBS/BDS students. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) manages All-India Quota (AIQ) seats across the country. But, each state, like Assam, has its own state-quota counselling run by its Directorate of Medical Education.
In Assam, 85% of MBBS and BDS seats are for local students. The other 15% are for other quotas. This ensures seats are given fairly based on NEET scores, preferences, and available seats.
