NEET PG cut-off marks reduction plea was rejected by the Supreme Court of India. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has decided to reduce at least 15 percentile for admission to the NEET-PG courses. The top court noted the decision on Monday.
A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and Surya Kant said the petition which has been instituted by the doctors stands disposed of as they would be able to secure admissions and their grievances would be addressed.
It noted, “By a communication from the Union government dated March 12, 2022, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has decided in consultation with the National Medical Commission that there shall be a reduction across all categories of 15 percentile for admission to the NEET PG courses. Thus, for the general category, the cut-off percentile is 35, for the physically handicapped general category 30 and for the reserved SC/ST 25”.
The bench said that in the event the petitioners still have any subsisting grievance, “we grant them liberty to adopt appropriate proceedings in accordance with law, including by applying for revival of present proceedings.
Hence, the petition is disposed of, at the present stage, reserving liberty to the petitioners, as noted above”.
At the outset, Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioners who are MBBS doctors, said that the counselling is ending on March 30 and now they have reduced the cut-off marks.
