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.
