India Today
The NEET PG counselling 2022 has been postponed and would now be held likely after September 15 with a larger number of seats. Check out more details here.
The NEET PG Counseling 2022 for the postgraduate admission courses has been adjourned by the union health ministry on Monday to allow the National Medical Commission (NMC) to complete the process of adding new seats. The counseling for NEET PG 2022 was scheduled to begin on September 1.
The ministry has not yet disclosed the revised schedule, but according to official sources, the NEET PG counseling 2022 is likely to begin from the third week of September.
According to the ministry, “The NEET PG Counseling 2022 was scheduled to begin on September 1. However, the National Medical Council will issue a new letter of permission (LoP’s) for the current academic year and the same will end until September 15.”
“In order to have more seats in council for the benefit of the candidates, the authority has decided to reschedule the NEET PG 2022 counseling, which was scheduled to commence from September 1,” it said.
Typically, NEET PG takes place in January and the counselling sessions begin in March. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic and last year's application process being delayed, this year's exam was held on May 21 and the results were announced on June 1.
The tentative schedule which was released previously will be adjourned and will be reposted in the MCC’s official website.
The announcement has come after Supreme Court refused to postpone the counseling of NEET PG 2022 on the request of the applicants who objected to the decision of National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBE) not to release the answer key and question paper of NEET PG 2022.
