Protesting doctors last month

Supreme Court gives its nod to NEET-PG Admissions for 2021-22. The Court allows admissions with 27% quota for OBCs, 10% for economically weaker sections for 2021-22. NEET-PG counselling has been on hold as the case was pending before the top court.

On Wednesday, the Centre requested the top court to allow commencement of the counselling for NEET-PG saying doctors' concerns for counselling are genuine.

Resident doctors have been protesting against the delay in the NEET-PG counselling. Earlier, the apex court had asked the Centre to put on hold the counselling for NEET-PG until it decides the validity of the Centre's decision to introduce OBC and EWS reservation in All India Quota (AIQ). It had said that NEET-PG counselling will not start without its approval as the court is examining a plea against the Centre's decision for medical admission.
