A student and parent-led movement in Assam seeking clarification on the medical admission and counselling process.
The "Chalo DME Andolan" is an ongoing student-led protest movement organized by NEET UG 2026 medical aspirants and parent associations in Assam. The movement seeks to draw attention to concerns raised by students and parents regarding the medical admission and counselling process conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Assam.
This page presents the movement as a student and parent-led initiative. The points described are concerns and representations raised by participants and are not presented as independently verified facts.
Protesting aspirants have raised concerns regarding the published state merit list and allege that certain candidates who selected examination centres in Assam may have appeared in the state merit lists of other states, including Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, and others.
The concern raised by students is whether candidates who do not satisfy the applicable Assam domicile requirements have been included in the Assam State Merit List.
One of the major concerns raised by the protesting students is the commencement of online choice filling and counselling before the publication of an officially rectified Final Merit List.
Students and parents have requested clarification regarding the status of objections and verification before proceeding with seat allotment.
Students emphasize the importance of protecting the 85% State Quota and ensuring that eligibility requirements applicable to Assam domicile candidates are properly verified before seat allotment.
The movement calls for transparent verification so that eligible Assam candidates are not adversely affected by unresolved merit-list concerns.
"Why have non-domicile candidates whose names are already published in the merit lists of other states not been identified and removed from the Assam State Merit List prior to opening the choice-filling window?"
Protesting students and parent representatives have urged the authorities to cross-verify relevant state merit lists and apply the applicable domicile and eligibility guidelines before proceeding with seat allotment.
Under the applicable Assam medical admission framework, candidates seeking seats under the state quota are required to satisfy the prescribed domicile and eligibility conditions, including applicable Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) requirements where required.
Concerns regarding simultaneous state-quota claims across multiple states have therefore been raised by students and parents as an issue requiring verification by the competent authorities.
The movement has called for appropriate document verification, examination of objections, correction of any identified discrepancies, and publication of an updated merit list before the completion of the counselling process.
The information presented on this page describes concerns and representations raised by students and parent groups. Final determination regarding eligibility, domicile, merit-list inclusion, and counselling remains with the competent authorities. Readers should verify admission information, schedules, merit lists and revised notices through the official DME Assam portal.
