In an attempt to address the large number of vacant seats in super speciality medical courses, the health ministry has approved relaxing of the eligibility cut-off for NEET PG for 2019-20.

With this, the qualifying marks for super speciality in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, cardiology and pediatric surgery has been reduced to 20th percentile, whereas that for other PG courses it has been brought down to 40th percentile. At present, the cut-off is 50th percentile.

“The Board of Governors reviewed the proposal in terms of the vacant seats and the number of additional eligible candidates to be provided for filing the vacancies in Super Speciality Courses. In principle it was decided that the reduction in percentile should provide at least double the number of vacant seats,” a letter from BoG secretary general R K Vats to health ministry said.
