TIMES NEWS NETWORK 04.02.2025
Ahmedabad : The central govt health ministry announced an extension for postgraduate medical course choice filling until 11.55pm on Tuesday (Feb 4). The admission committee for professional undergraduate & postgraduate medical educational courses (ACPUGMEC, ACPPGMEC) on Saturday launched a fresh round of choice filling after the NEET PG percentile criteria were reduced in Jan. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) adjusted the NEET PG 2024 qualifying percentile across categories on Jan 4 to address unfilled MD, MS, and diploma positions across the country. The revised criteria permit general and EWS (economically weaker section) category candidates scoring 15 percentile and above to join counselling, while SC, ST, OBC, and PwD categories can participate with 10 percentile and above.
Committee sources indicated that nearly 900 students were eligible for this choice-filling round, which concludes at 11.55pm on Tuesday. The previous year witnessed the NEET PG qualifying percentile being reduced to zero across all categories due to widespread vacancies. In Gujarat, following second-round allocations for postgraduate medical programmes, 212 positions remained unreported in MD, MS, and diploma courses, with 69 seats unfilled, amounting to 281 vacant positions.
