NMC had asked for this extension as, according to an order passed by the Supreme Court in 2016, the commission cannot conduct admissions in PG medical courses after May 31. However, with the new extension, the NMC will now be able to admit students until November 25.

The medical commission stated that counselling for academic years 2020-21 and 2021-22 was not conducted on time due to Covid and the lockdowns, which has caused further delays in the commencement of the academic year.

Recently, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) released the revised cut-off scores for NEET PG counselling 2022 at the official website — natboard.edu.in. The decision to reduce the NEET PG cut-off was taken to fill the many vacant seats in last year’s PG counselling admissions.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) recently announced the final result for round 2 NEET PG 2022 counselling, which is available on the official MCC website at mcc.nic.in.
