According to various media reports, the Karnataka High Court ordered KEA to cancel the seats allotted to ‘ineligible’ candidates in the Karnataka NEET PG counselling 2024 mop-up round, rapping it for violating its own brochure for postgraduate medical admissions.
Several aspirants filed a plea against the mop-up allotments, arguing that KEA allowed students already allotted All India Quota (AIQ) seats to take part in the mop-up round, resulting in irregularities and lack of opportunities.

A two-judge bench reportedly asked the counselling authorities not to penalise such students for exiting the seats and return their original documents, as they were wrongly allowed to participate in the state counselling. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has been asked to allow students who have been allotted AIQ seats in MCC NEET PG counselling to report by February 9, the reports added.
Further, the Karnataka HC asked KEA to permit the petitioners and other such candidates to participate in the stray vacancy round of state NEET PG counselling and let them avail seats falling vacant.
