Doctors and Aspirants Criticize NMC, NBE, MCC Over Mismanagement.
The much-expected NEET PG 2025 counselling process has faced important delays, exploding extensive frustration among medical graduates and professionals. The National Medical Commission (NMC), National Board of Examinations (NBE), and Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) have been facing sharp criticism, many doctors and candidates remark this situation as mismanagement of the counselling process.
Reasons Behind the Delay
Multiple factors have underwritten to this stressful delay:
- Legal Proceedings: The Supreme Court’s current review of requests, demanding greater clarity in the examination process, including the announcement of question papers and answer solutions, has temporarily paused counselling actions pending the court’s judgement.
- Seat Matrix Endorsement Pending: The NMC’s delay in confirming the postgraduate seat matrix, including issues related to the addition or withdrawal of DNB seats, has hindered MCC’s ability to conduct actual seat allocation.
- Organizational Incompetence: Medical professionals have stated concerns about poor announcement, lack of clear timelines, and incompetent direction between controlling bodies, which has worsened doubts during the counselling period.
Influence on Medical Graduates
The delay has disturbed academic calendars and career development for nearly 2 lakh candidates nationwide, leaving many in midpoint. Social media platforms have seen an expression of dissatisfaction from medical graduates, highlighting the mental stress and financial destitutions caused by the delay. Calls for responsibility and professionalism from the NMC, NBE, and MCC have grown louder, with demands for efficient processes and transparent communication.
Present Status and Expected Developments
While state quota counselling has started in some regions, All India Quota (AIQ) counselling remains on hold until official and organizational issues are determined. Reviewed counselling schedules are expected, with hopes stuck on swift Supreme Court rulings and timely seat matrix approvals. Approximately 28,663 seats across MD/MS/DNB courses expect distribution once the process restarts.
Conclusion
The delay in NEET PG 2025 counselling lustres a spotlight on systemic challenges within India’s medical education supervisory background. Addressing these issues needs instant and synchronized action from NMC, NBE, and MCC to restore self-assurance among medical aspirants and uphold the honesty of postgraduate medical admissions.
