NEET PG 2024 Result Controversy: NEET PG Counselling Schedule is expected to be released this week. The Supreme Court will hear the plea regarding NEET PG 2024 result transparency on October 25. Multiple petitioners have voiced concerns over last-minute changes in the exam pattern and other irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Candidates are also frustrated by the lack of transparency in the result process. Aspirants have expressed discontent with the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for implementing sudden changes just three days prior to the exam, as well as issues related to the unclear marking process.
