The short version. Orchid Education Foundation gives free, in-person MBBS and BDS admission guidance at our Guwahati office — 3F Red Stone Building, beside Pantaloons, Downtown Guwahati, Assam 781022. Walk in Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM, no appointment needed. We have guided students into medical and dental seats across India since 2008, at any NEET UG score, and the first counselling session is free with no catch. Call 9085064444 or 9085065555.
Not a rough number you remember from a WhatsApp forward. Bring the real scorecard, the real Class 12 marks, the real category certificate if you have one, and we work from what is actually in front of us. Most bad decisions in this admission cycle start from someone guessing at their own numbers.
Fees over five years. Hostel safety. What happens if a rank slips in Round 2. These come up more honestly in a room than on a call, and we would rather answer them once, properly, than have a family find out the hard way in September.
Domicile certificates, ST(H) and ST(P) papers, migration certificates for students who studied outside their home state — these are the things counselling authorities reject applications over. We have seen the same three mistakes for seventeen years. Better we catch them at our desk than a verification officer catches them at yours.
We know families travelling in from Shillong, Dimapur or Silchar cannot always plan a visit two weeks ahead. So we do not run one. Walk in during office hours and someone will see you.
All India Quota versus state quota versus management quota, explained against your real rank, not a rough estimate. Which states are realistic on budget. What the security deposit actually protects and when it gets forfeited. Full MBBS guide →
A qualifying NEET score with no high-rank requirement makes BDS accessible in ways MBBS is not, and that also means families decide too fast. We walk through college quality, real placement numbers and whether BDS or a lower-fee MBBS route actually serves your five-year plan better. Full BDS guide →
We go through your actual paperwork in the room — domicile, category, migration certificates for NE students studying elsewhere — and flag what is missing or wrongly filed before a counselling authority does it for you.
Which windows are open right now, which apply to your domicile, and which order to register in so you do not miss a deadline chasing another one. Live deadline tracker →
MBBS and BDS are what most families walk in for. If your question sits elsewhere in medicine, we cover that too.
OEF started in Guwahati because students from this region were making five-year decisions on the strength of an agent's promise, with nobody checking whether that promise held up. It still does not always hold up. What changed is that families now have somewhere in Downtown Guwahati to walk in and get the paperwork checked before the money moves, not after.
More than 2,000 students have come through that door since. Some walked out with an MBBS plan. Some walked out choosing BDS or BAMS instead, for reasons that made sense once the numbers were on the table. A few walked out being told, plainly, that this year was not their year and a structured repeat attempt was the better call. We would rather say that once, in the room, than let a family find out in October.
NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every MBBS and BDS seat in India, government or private, with no exception. Anyone offering a seat without it is not offering you anything real. That is the one thing we will never soften, no matter how far someone has travelled to hear it.
No. Walk in any day, Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM. We are on the 3rd floor of Red Stone Building, beside Pantaloons, Downtown Guwahati. NEET season gets busy in the afternoon, so mornings are quieter if you want more time with a counsellor.
Yes, no fee and no catch attached to it. You bring your NEET score or your Class 12 marks if you have not taken NEET yet, and we tell you honestly what it opens up. If the honest answer is that your options are limited this year, we say that too, in the same session.
Anyone. We have guided students from Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, alongside Assam. If travelling to Guwahati is hard, call or WhatsApp first and we will do everything possible over the phone before you need to come in.
No, and be careful of anyone who tells you they can. NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every medical and dental seat in India, no exception, and no consultant anywhere can guarantee an outcome that depends on your score, category and the seat matrix in a given year. What we do is tell you which colleges and quotas genuinely fit your number, and help you avoid the mistakes that cost families a year or a security deposit.
A college tells you about itself. We have counselled students into MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BHMS seats across states since 2008, so we can tell you how one college compares to another on fees, faculty, hostel and placement reality — not just the brochure version. And because we are not tied to any single institution, there is no reason for us to steer you towards one over another except what actually fits you.
