New Delhi: The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Postgraduate) counselling will begin on 1 September, official sources said on Saturday.
Students, who have qualified in the NEET-PG 2022 exam, will be able to fill their choices with respect to courses and colleges during the counselling process for admission to All India Quota seats, state medical and dental colleges, and central and deemed universities.
The PG counselling will commence for all central universities, deemed Universities and 50 per cent All India quota seats and 50 per cent state quota seats of medical and dental colleges simultaneously, the officials said.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health will conduct the counselling in online mode, they told.
Keeping in mind that 748 seats are still lying vacant in NEET superspeciality counselling for the academic year 2021, the government has decided to conduct a special round of counselling without any cut-off percentile eligibility to prevent wastage of seats and in the larger public interest as a one-time measure, the officials said.
Normally, NEET-PG is held in January and the counselling starts in March.
But because of COVID-19 and the delay in the last year's admission process, this year's exam was held on 21 May and the results were declared on 1 June. (with Agency inputs)
