Is NEET PG counselling 2024 date out? Why did aspirants move SC? All you need to know

NEW DELHI: Allegations of paper leak, last-minute changes in exam, and delay in the NEET PG counselling 2924 have left aspirants in limbo. Meanwhile, 19 aspirants have approached the Supreme Court against the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) and demanded release of NEET PG answer key and clarity on the normalisation rule to ensure transparency in the national-level exam. While over 2 lakh candidates await clarity on NEET PG results and counselling, here’s what we know so far.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which conducts the counselling for UG and PG medical courses, has started the facility for changing nationality from Indian to Non-Resident Indian (NRI) for the NEET PG counselling. The notification was made available yesterday.

Notably, the NBE has not announced the NEET PG cut-offs or raw scores yet. As aspirants await clarity on NEET PG results 2024, the delay in counselling has left candidates without a respite in sight. NEET PG is a national-level medical entrance exam for candidates seeking admission into MD, MS, post-MBBS diploma courses, and other allied courses.
