NEET PG 2024: Supreme Court Dismisses Plea for Fresh Counselling, Upholds AIQ Round 3 Process
The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a plea seeking the cancellation and re-conduction of NEET PG 2024 counselling for the All India Quota (AIQ) round 3. The petitioners argued that the overlapping schedules of AIQ and state quota counselling created an unfair advantage for certain candidates. However, the court ruled that any changes at this stage would have a “cascading effect” on admissions nationwide.
A bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and K Vinod Chandran heard the case and emphasized that the NEET PG 2024 seat allotment has followed a structured schedule. The National Medical Commission (NMC) opposed the plea, highlighting that students had already secured their seats and altering the process would disrupt admissions across states.
Why Was the Plea for Fresh NEET PG 2024 Counselling Filed?
The petitioners, all candidates in NEET PG 2024 counselling, claimed that:
- AIQ Round 3 counselling began before State Round 2 counselling concluded in certain states.
- This scheduling conflict allowed some candidates to register for AIQ round 3, despite being ineligible at the time.
- Many deserving candidates missed out on securing a seat due to these discrepancies.
The petitioners contended that the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) should either:
- Cancel NEET PG 2024 AIQ round 3 counselling and conduct a fresh round.
- Conduct an additional fourth round of NEET PG 2024 counselling to allocate leftover seats fairly.
Supreme Court’s Decision on NEET PG 2024 Counselling
The Supreme Court firmly rejected the petition, stating that any modifications to the ongoing NEET PG 2024 seat allotment process would lead to widespread complications. The justices also pointed out that thousands of candidates had already accepted their allotted seats, and making changes now would create chaos.
The court remarked, “If we entertain this plea, many more such petitions will follow, further complicating the process.”
Impact on NEET PG 2024 Counselling and Seat Allotment
With this decision, the Supreme Court has confirmed that:
- NEET PG 2024 AIQ round 3 counselling results will remain valid.
- No fresh NEET PG 2024 counselling round will be conducted.
- The existing NEET PG 2024 seat allotment schedule will continue without disruption.
This ruling ensures that all candidates must adhere to the current NEET PG 2024 counselling status and proceed with their allotted seats. Any pending seat allotments will be completed as per the MCC’s official schedule.
Final Thoughts on NEET PG 2024 Seat Allotment and Counselling
The Supreme Court’s decision clarifies the NEET PG 2024 counselling process, ensuring that admissions remain fair and structured. Candidates are advised to follow the MCC’s official updates and complete the necessary formalities for their NEET PG 2024 seat allotment.
