MOCK COUNSELLING IN ASSAM
A student picked their 3rd preference thinking they’d upgrade in Round 2. Round 2 came — their 1st preference had already filled. The preference order you submit is the order you live with.
Which of these colleges applies to your rank?
7
Assam has 7 government medical colleges — more than most comparable NE states combined
Gauhati MC (Guwahati), Assam MC (Dibrugarh), Barpeta MC, Jorhat MC, Tezpur MC, Silchar MC, and Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed MC. The spread across Assam gives rural domicile candidates district-level options.
SAMS
SAMS (State Allocation and Management System) runs Assam counselling — it's one of the more transparent systems in NE India
SAMS publishes round-wise merit lists and allotment data. This makes Assam one of the better-documented states for rank-range analysis in the northeast.
TDC
TDC (Class 11+12) from Assam is the domicile trigger — not just birth or residence
Passing TDC from an Assam institution is the standard domicile proof. Students who studied outside Assam but were born there may not qualify. The exam board matters.
NRI
NRI quota at private Assam colleges is underutilised — fewer applicants means better availability
Compared to KA, MH, or TN, Assam's private colleges receive fewer NRI applications. Families with NRI sponsors targeting less competitive private seats may find Assam offers better odds.

Why Assam is Different
Section 1

Why Assam is Different

Almost Entirely Government
Assam has 15 government colleges and zero private. This is rare in India. No management quota, no NRI quota headaches. Pure merit-based government counselling.
ST(H) and ST(P) Split
Assam splits Scheduled Tribe into ST(H) (Hills) and ST(P) (Plains). These are separate allotment pools with different closing ranks. Know which one you qualify for.
OBC/MOBC(NCL) + TGL
Assam uses OBC/MOBC(NCL) (OBC/More Other Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer) and has a TGL (Tea Garden Labourers) sub-category. Unique to Assam.
DME Assam (Directorate of Medical Education) conducts counselling
DME Assam conducts MBBS/BDS counselling for all government colleges via www.dme.assam.gov.in. AIIMS Guwahati goes through AIIMS counselling. No private college counselling needed. Online counselling process.
