Tripura NEET Counselling 2025

NEET 2025 may determine eligibility for a medical career, but don't forget that in Tripura, you still have to go through the State Official Counseling System to secure a MBBS or BDS Seat.

Additionally, while in many smaller states the counselling is more offline and mixed, the Tripura NEET Counselling 2025 process is very quick, online, and cut throat. Let's take a look at how it works, including the special eligibility conditions of Tripura state, and the essential steps you're going to forget you must complete. 

1.0Counselling in Tripura: Who’s in Charge?

Tripura's NEET counselling is under the purview of the Directorate of Medical Education, or DME.

Here’s what makes it distinct:

• Single Body: DME allocates all state MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH seats (other than AIQ).
• Online: Everything happens online from registration to seat allotment.
• Notification: All notifications will socialise on dme.tripura.gov.in.

This consolidated approach offers simplicity but only if you know the rules!

5.0How Merit Lists Shape Tripura’s Counselling

The Tripura merit list plays a crucial role in seat allotment:

• Draft Merit List: Published initially for corrections.
• Final Merit List: Ranks candidates based on NEET UG scores.
• Separate Lists:
• • State Quota list
  • Category-wise lists
  • PwD list (if applicable)

Being ranked high boosts your chance of securing preferred colleges.

6.0Choice Filling: The Strategic Phase

Candidates must log in to fill their choices during the window set by DME: 

• List the order of your college and course preferences
• Put your choices in before the time-frame closes.
• Once locked, please note that your choices cannot be modified until the next round.

In Tripura, filling choices judiciously can be the difference between a seat in the government college MBBS program and mop-up rounds.
