NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has advised medical colleges “to sympathetically deal with the issues faced by the candidates of NEET PG 2020” due to the COVID-19 situation in the country. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is an entrance exam for medicine and NEET PG is for postgraduate programmes.
In an official communication on the Medical Council of India website ( www.mci.in ), the director general of health services (DGHS) said that “only the essential documents as per the notice uploaded on the MCC website [on April 9, 2020] should be insisted” when the candidates report for admission.
On April 9, the office of the DGHS had notified instructions on counselling. The Medical Counselling Committee declared the result of NEET PG 2020 round one on April 11. Candidates can report at the designated colleges from April 13 to 20.
The candidates can report for admission either in person or by send an email, confirming acceptance of seat.
The official communication said that “deficiency of one or two non-essential documents or payment of complete fees, the college may take an undertaking from the candidates that he/she [will] be depositing the remaining fee or documents” when they physically report at the college where a seat has been allotted.
