The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Tuesday wrote to Union Health Minister JP Nadda about the delay in the NEET PG 2024 counseling process. In its letter, IMA said, “The delay in the counseling process is causing immense distress to thousands of NEET PG aspirants across the country.”
In the letter, The IMA also urged the Ministry explore interim measures that will ensure the initiation of the counseling process, “ensuring that the interests of both students and the health system are safeguarded.”
It added, “We write to draw your attention to the growing concerns and uncertainty surrounding the delay in the NEET PG 2024 counseling process, which is currently delayed due to an ongoing case in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.”
“The candidates, who have worked tirelessly to secure postgraduate places in medicine, face prolonged uncertainty about their future due to court proceedings. This situation is also impacting the functioning of health institutions, since the timely incorporation of postgraduate students is crucial to guarantee the availability of medical professionals in hospitals and medical schools.”
Besides, IMA highlighted that several State advisory committees are also in a dilemma over granting incentive marks to in-service candidates due to non-disclosure of marks this year. “Therefore, we request a declaration of a normalized score to ensure that state quota counseling is also carried out smoothly,” IMA added.
