Introduction
The Bombay High Court has asked the Common Entrance Test (CET) cell to conduct fresh round 1 of Maharashtra NEET PG counselling 2024. Postgraduate medical aspirants, falling under the 20% state quota for in-service candidates, filed petitions in the HC seeking reopening of the first round admissions through the National Eligibility Entrance Test - Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2024, alleging the incentive marks were not added while preparing the merit list.
The introduction of the percentile system in the NEET PG 2024 exam held this year led to the issue. The exam required normalization of marks as the entrance test was conducted in two shifts.
However, the authorities published the final merit list without adding the marks of candidates who served in rural, hilly and Naxalite areas in the state because of the inability of the Directorate of Health Services (DHS) and the CET Cell to incorporate incentive marks into the percentile scores provided by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). The merit list was used to fill seats in the CAP round 1 of Maharashtra NEET PG 2024. The Maharashtra NEET PG Counselling Seat Allotment Result Round 1 was declared on 30 November 2024. The deadline to report to the allotted college was 4 December.
The high court directed the CET Cell to release a Revised merit list for CAP round 1 of Maharashtra NEET PG 2024. This will allow 116 in-service candidates to resubmit their choices. The court has also ordered the cell to conduct a fresh NEET PG seat allocation for the 20% quota of in-service candidates in the first CAP round.
