The announcement comes after the completion of the stray vacancy round of NEET PG counselling 2024.
Following the move, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is expected to announce further rounds of NEET PG 2024 counselling to provide admissions to candidates who will become eligible after lowering of NEET PG 2024 cut-off percentile.
In January this year, MCC revised NEET PG qualifying cut-off 2025 and reduced it to 15 percentile for the general category and 10 percentile for the reserved categories.
The Delhi High Court ordered Centre to reduce NEET PG cut-off 2024 after hearing a petition filed by NEET PG aspirants. The Indian Medical Association-Junior Doctors Network (IMA-JDN) had written to the Union health minister JP Nadda demanding the reduction in cut-off. The doctors’ body argued that unfilled medical seats lead to shortage of resources in healthcare services.
