The counselling session was expected to start on July 6 even though the Medical Counselling Committee had not shared any detailed notification and schedule for it.
Sources said the process of issuing letters of permission to some medical colleges is still underway and new seats will be added. “The date of counseling will be announced once the exercise gets over to ensure seats of the new colleges can be taken up in the first round itself.” an official source said.

They said the counseling may begin later this month. Amid the growing clamor for the cancellation of the controversy-ridden NEET-UG 2024 over alleged malpractices, the Centre and the National Testing Agency told the apex court on Friday that scraping it without any proof of large-scale breach of confidentiality would be counterproductive as it could “seriously jeopardize” lakhs of honest candidates.

The NTA, which conducts the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test – Undergraduate (NEET-UG) for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses, and the Union Education Ministry have been at the center of media debates and protests by students and political parties over alleged large-scale malpractices ranging from question paper leaks to impersonation in the test held on May 5.
In the line of fire over the alleged irregularities in NEET and PhD entrance NET, the Centre has removed National Testing Agency (NTA) Director General Subodh Singh and notified a high-level panel headed by former Indian Space Research Organisation (SRO) chief R.Radhakrishnan to ensure transparent, smooth and fair conduct of examinations through the NTA.
