NEET PG Counselling 2024: MCC to issue round 1 schedule soon at mcc.nic.in; admission process

NEW DELHI: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is expected to announce the National Eligibility Entrance Test - Postgraduate (NEET PG) counselling 2024 schedule soon. Candidates who have qualified for NEET PG 2024 will be able to access the counselling schedule once it is made available on the MCC's official website, mcc.nic.in.

The schedule will be issued in PDF format and will carry details such as important dates for registration, choice filling, seat allotment rounds and dates for reporting to the allotted institute. Based on previous trends, NEET PG 2024 counselling is expected to be conducted in four phases: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, and the AIQ Stray Vacancy Round.

NEET PG counselling is conducted for admission to All India Quota (AIQ) seats in Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), Diplomate of National Board (DNB), and postgraduate diploma programmes.

No update on schedule

Earlier, on September 20, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) began the registration process for the first round of postgraduate medical counselling. However, there has been no update on the last date for registration or the complete admission schedule.

The Supreme Court is set to hear the NEET PG case on October 25. Candidates who appeared for the exam have filed a petition, requesting the court to direct the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) to issue the answer keys, response sheets, and raw scores. Students have raised concerns about the transparency of the exam, pointing out that the board neither issued the NEET PG 2024 cut-off nor disclosed details about the normalisation process, which was used for the first time.
