NEET PG Counselling 2024 Live: Supreme Court hearing postponed to October 4; schedule soon at mcc.nic.in

Candidates who are satisfied with the seat allotted to them in the first round of NEET PG 2024 counselling can confirm their seat by reporting to the allotted college and paying the required tuition fee.

In MCC NEET PG counselling 2024, if a candidate fails to report to the allotted institute within the given time frame, their seat will be cancelled. This option is known as a 'free exit.'

The NEET PG 2024 SC hearing has been postponed to October 4, as no one from the Union of India showed up at the last hearing.

The Director General of Medical Education and Training (DGME) in Uttar Pradesh has disqualified 81 candidates from participating in the UP NEET PG counselling 2024 for failing to join the seats allocated to them during the stray vacancy round last year.

The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi has implemented a one-year mandatory service bond for medical students graduating from both All India Quota and State Quota undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. This decision has faced criticism from doctors and medical associations.

A NEET PG service bond policy is an agreement between the student and the state government, requiring the student to provide medical services in rural or tribal areas within the same state where they are completing their postgraduate studies. This bond mandates a period of compulsory rural service after finishing the PG medical course.

Candidates will require the following documents for NEET PG 2024 counselling. 

• NEET PG 2024 admit card issued by NBE
• NEET PG score card 2024
• MBBS mark sheets of first, second and third professional examinations
• Provisional, degree certificate of MBBS
• Internship completion certificate
• Permanent, provisional registration certificate issued by MCI
• Class 10 marksheet and certificate
• Class 12 marksheet and certificate
• A valid photo-identity proof 
• Category certificate

The number of times a candidate can appear for the NEET PG exam is unlimited, provided they fulfil the necessary qualifying requirements for each attempt.

MCC holds online NEET PG 2024 counselling for allotment of 50% seats while respective state agencies will allot rest 50% seats through counselling.

As per the latest update, NEET PG petitions against the NBE and mark normalisation will likely be heard by the Supreme Court on October 4.

Several candidates from NEET PG 2024 have filed a petition in the Supreme Court requesting that the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) release the NEET PG answer key 2024, along with the question papers and candidates' response sheets. The students raised concerns about the transparency of the NEET PG 2024 results, particularly given the lack of clarity regarding the normalization policy implemented for the first time in the exam's history. The delay in the NEET PG counselling 2024 dates, combined with last-minute changes to the exam and allegations of a paper leak, has left candidates anxious.

During the recent Supreme Court hearing regarding the NEET PG 2024 results, a bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, described it as "unusual" that the exam pattern was altered at the last minute. The apex court issued a notice to the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), requesting the disclosure of the NEET PG 2024 answer keys and question papers to ensure transparency in the admission process.
