No salary discrimination must be there between clinical & non-clinical branch residents’

The report was filed after detailed deliberations and consideration of suggestions made by senior advocate Maninder Singh, who is assisting Supreme Court as amicus curiae.
“NMC is in process of issuing new regulations, which are yet to be finalised wherein only rank-based system for NEET PG & SS counselling will be adopted; no percentile marks will be declared in results; only ranks will be given to the candidates.
A letter dated Oct 1 has been written by secretary, NMC to DGHS informing proposal for changing the existing percentile-based system to a rank-based merit system for NEET-PG and NEET-SS which is under consideration by the commission.
The commission has accorded in-principle approval for the proposed change with a view to address the issues arising from the existing system,” the report said. On reduction of the minimum qualification, the report said, “The sanctity of NEET examinations should be maintained and minimum qualifying standards in postgraduate medical education is not diluted to the extent of permitting candidates with grossly inadequate or negative performance to become eligible for admission”.
It also suggested that there should be no salary discrimination between residents of clinical and non-clinical branches and incentives should be provided to doctors to work in rural areas. SC is examining various petitions challenging Centre’s decision to drastically reduce the qualifying cut-off percentiles for NEET-PG 2025. Under the revised criteria, the qualifying score for general category was reduced from 276 to 103, while that for the SC/ST/OBC categories was brought down from 235 to -40.
