The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) opened registration for NEET PG counselling 2024 on September 20, but aspirants are still waiting for the official schedule. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has appealed to Union Health Minister JP Nadda, urging the immediate release of the MCC NEET PG counselling schedule for 2024. Highlighting the impact of the delay on thousands of young doctors, the IMA stated, “These aspiring professionals deserve clarity and respect, especially after years of dedicated and rigorous study to reach this point.”

After the announcement of the NEET PG 2024 results, students voiced concerns about the lack of clarity regarding the normalisation methods used in the scoring process. The National Board of Examinations (NBE) has yet to release cut-off scores or individual raw marks, leading many aspirants to approach the Supreme Court in August for increased transparency regarding the answer keys and scoring.

Frustration has grown over the NBEMS's last-minute changes made just days before the exam, adding to the confusion surrounding the evaluation criteria.

Due to delays and rescheduling, the next Supreme Court hearing is set for November 19. Meanwhile, the NBE plans to release state-wise merit lists. According to the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA), the NEET PG 2024 counselling process is set to begin on November 11. 

The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test—Postgraduate (NEET PG 2024) was conducted on August 11 at 416 exam centers nationwide, and 2,28,540 candidates registered. This year, candidates were informed just days before the exam that it would be held in Shift 1 from 9 AM to 12:30 PM and Shift 2 from 3:30 PM to 7 PM.

The NEET PG 2024 counselling is expected to follow established patterns, consisting of several rounds: AIQ Round 1, AIQ Round 2, an AIQ Mop-up Round, and an AIQ Stray Vacancy Round. Details regarding the process for each round will be included in the upcoming counselling schedule.
