NEET SS aspirants have proposed a 'strict timeline' to avoid further delay in the admission process and urged NMC, MCC, and NBEMS to complete the counselling by May first week.
NEW DELHI: The Tamil Nadu Resident Doctors Association (TNRDA) has urged the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB), National Medical Commission (NMC), to declare the NEET SS results 2025 before April end to avoid a repeat of the “zero academic year”.
In a letter addressed to the president of PGMEB, NMC, the resident doctors expressed their concerns over prolonged delay in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Super Specialty ( NEET SS 2024 ) admission process, which has left thousands of aspirants in limbo.
The NEET SS 2024 exam was not held last year, due to the prolonged admission delay in the previous years mainly stemming from the academic disruption caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
Highlighting the same, the doctors’ group wrote: “This timeline is vital to avoid a repeat of the 2023 “zero academic year” and to maintain the continuity of training in super specialty departments, which are already facing critical shortages in manpower.” As per the NBE schedule 2024, the NEET SS result is scheduled to be announced by April 30.
“Delayed admissions affect not only the careers of young doctors but also the delivery of essential care in high-dependency fields such as Cardiology, Critical Care, Neurology, Neonatology, and Oncology,” the letter read.
