IMA writes to Union Health Minister for timely conduct of NEET PG 2024 counselling

"On behalf of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), we write to bring to your kind attention the growing concerns and uncertainty surrounding the delay in the NEET PG 2024 counselling process, which is currently held up due to an ongoing case in the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India," the IMA wrote in a letter.

The IMA also requested Nadda to pay attention to uncertainty growing among students about their future due to the delay in NEET PG counselling. They emphasized that this delay is causing immense distress to thousands of NEET PG aspirants across the country.

"The delay in the counselling process is causing immense distress to thousands of NEET PG aspirants across the country. These candidates, who have worked tirelessly to qualify for postgraduate medical seats, are facing prolonged uncertainty about their future due to the judicial proceedings. This situation is also impacting the functioning of healthcare institutions, as the timely induction of postgraduate students is crucial to ensure the availability of medical professionals in hospitals and medical colleges," the IMA wrote.

The IMA highlighted the challenges faced by healthcare institutions due to the delay in the induction of postgraduate students.

"We, therefore, humbly request the Ministry to engage with the concerned authorities, including the Hon'ble Supreme Court, to find a way to expedite the resolution of the case. If necessary, we urge the government to explore interim measures that could allow the counselling process to commence, ensuring that the interests of both students and the healthcare system are safeguarded," IMA added.
