NEET PG 2022 Counselling: The Supreme Court stated today that it will not intervene and halt NEET-PG 2022 counselling because it cannot jeopardise students' lives. The NEET PG counselling procedure will commence on September 1, news agency ANI reported.

While hearing a petition concerning NEET PG 2022, the Supreme Court stated that the counselling will take place as scheduled. Aspirants questioned the authorities last week over their decision not to postpone NEET PG but instead to have counselling three months after the test.

The writ suit questioned the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBE) decision not to provide the NEET PG 2022 answer key and question paper.

According to the petitioners, there were various anomalies in the marks of the applicants who took the exam this time. The candidates urged that the answer keys be re-evaluated and that the students be permitted to contest the answers.

Several NEET PG candidates requested in May that the NEET PG 2022 test be postponed by 40 days due to a conflict with the present NEET PG 2021 counselling.

The registration procedure for round one seat allotment will take place from September 1 to 4, till 12 noon, and costs can be paid until 8 p.m. The option filling window will be open from September 2 to September 5 through 11:55 p.m., and the results will be declared on September 8. The reporting period for round 1 will be from September 9 to September 13.
