SC refused to halt NEET PG 2022 counselling despite petition alleging score irregularities

by Medically Speaking August 9, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

While hearing a plea alleging anomalies in NEET PG 2022 results, the Supreme Court rejected to postpone the counselling for the same on Monday, stating it would not take such a drastic move. The next hearing date has been set on August 25.
A court led by Justice DY Chandrachud was hearing a plea filed by certain physicians seeking instructions on the publication of question papers and answer keys for NEET-PG 2022 applicants.

The petitioners have challenged the National Board of Examinations’ (NBE) decision not to reveal the answer key and question paper, stating that the board did so despite knowing there are significant disparities.

The petitioners have challenged the National Board of Examinations’ (NBE) decision not to reveal the answer key and question paper, claiming that the board did so despite knowing there are significant differences in the results.

Furthermore, the petitioners sought the court to order the NBE to give NEET-PG 2022 applicants, including the petitioners, the option of reassessment if their results differed.

The petitioners’ attorney informed the judge that a similar case involving NEET PG 2021 is also pending before the court. As a result, the court clubbed both cases together and ordered that the final hearing be held on August 25.

In response to the petitioners’ counsel’s request for a stay on the counselling, which was set to commence on September 1, the court stated that it could not grant an order stopping the therapy.

Doctors who have obtained their MBBS degrees and are registered with the State Medical Councils have submitted the current petition.

According to the petitioners, they discovered a significant disparity in their NEET-PG 2022 results. However, the NBE does not allow applicants to re-evaluate, re-check, or re-total their scores on the answer sheets in order to rule out the potential of a mismatch in their marks.

The petitioners claim that, unlike the NBE, the National Testing Agency, which administers the NEET-UG, allows applicants to contest the answer keys. Several other famous tests, like IIT-JEE, CMAT, CLAT, and Judicial Services, offer the ability to dispute the answer key.

NEET-UG delay petitioned in Delhi High Court

by Medically Speaking July 13, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

Several medical aspirants have petitioned the Delhi High Court, requesting that the Centre, National Testing Agency (NTA), and others postpone the National Eligibility Cumulative Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) slated for July 17 be postponed.

The petition requests that the respondents set aside the July 17 test schedule for NEET-UG 2022, as stated in a notice dated April 6, 2022. According to the petitioners, it is impossible for students to travel hundreds of kilometres owing to excessive rainfall and flooding in many regions of the nation.

“Direct the respondents to conduct NEET-UG 2022 phase 2 for the academic sessions 2022, taking into account the huge distance of examination centre, which ranges between 150 km to 300 km for a thousand of students during the current grave situation caused by flood across the nation,” the petition stated.

It has also been mentioned that the exam was taken last year on September 12 and the results were announced on November 1. This year, the exam notice was posted on April 6, which is around 100 days before the exam, causing worry and anxiety among students.

The petition further asked the respondents to issue a new announcement postponing the NEET-UG 2022 Examination after considering the students’ objections stated in their representations dated May 12 and July 8.

Advocate Mamta Sharma had previously brought the petition before the bench headed by Chief Justice of Delhi on Wednesday (today) for its urgent listing. The hearing will most likely take place on Thursday.

With only eight days to the exams, many students are still requesting a delay of the medical entrance exam.

Days Demanded For Neet Preparation

The majority of NEET 2022 candidates have requested a delay of the exam by 40 to 60 days. Last year, NEET was held on September 12th. As a result, students claim that they were given only 10 months to prepare for NEET-UG 2022.

Some even complained that because the CBSE 12th board examinations finished in mid-June, they were unable to adequately study for the NEET. The statement further said that the NEET 2021 counselling concluded late, leaving individuals who were unable to attend with little time to prepare for the next one.

NEET PG 2022: With 6000 seats available, NBE lowers cut-off by 15%

by Medically Speaking Team March 14, 2022

written by Medically Speaking Team

The National Board of Examination (NBE) has decreased the NEET-PG cut-off by 15% in order to fill approximately 6,000 seats in postgraduate medicine programmes that are still open after two rounds of counselling. In the country, the NBE organises NEET-PG, the qualifying tests for various PG programmes.

According to the National Board of Examinations, the NEET-PG cut-offs have been amended to 35 percentile for general category students, 30 percentile for individuals with disabilities, and 25 percentile for SC, ST, or OBC applicants.

For just over 42,000 PG seats across the country, around 1.5 lakh doctors apply for NEET-PG after completing their MBBS degree and a one-year mandatory internship. However, despite the number of doctors applying for PG courses being more than three times the number of seats, 6,266 seats have remained vacant for the final NEET-PG mop-up round in 2021, according to the NBE.

According to statistics submitted by the Union Health Ministry in the Lok Sabha, there were 1,425 PG seats that remained unfilled in 2020, even after the mop-up round of counselling.

The testing body altered the cut-offs in response to Health Ministry instructions published on Saturday.

A letter from the Medical Counselling Committee member secretary, Dr B Srinivas, to the NBE executive director, Dr Minu Bajpai, states, “After due discussion and deliberations, it has been decided by MoHFW in consultation with NMC… to reduce cut-off. In view of the above, you are requested to kindly declare the revised result and send revised result data of newly eligible candidates.”

The move has been welcomed by doctors’ associations, which had made a similar demand earlier. “This is a good move by the government and much needed. This year, the exams were delayed twice due to Covid-19, and in the meantime many (doctors) worked in the Covid wards, they got Covid themselves, and some lost their family members,” said Dr Rohan Krishnan, the Federation of All India Medical Associations (FAIMA) president.

This was necessary, he said, to ensure that all seats get filled up and the existing PG students are not left “overburdened” again. “We need more doctors now, over 6,000 seats cannot be left vacant,” he said. The PG students also work in the associated hospitals as junior residents.

The doctors affiliated to the FAIMA and the Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association had gone on a strike in December last year after the counselling was deferred due to court cases following a six-month delay in the examination.

Karnataka: Medical student’s death in Ukraine triggers growing opposition to NEET

by Medically Speaking March 3, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

The murder of Naveen Shekharappa, a fourth-year medical student from Kharkiv, Ukraine, has sparked resistance to the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET). On Wednesday, Kannada organisations launched a Twitter campaign with the hashtag ‘BanNEET.’

Naveen, a deserving student who scored 97 percent in pre-university, was unable to acquire a medical seat in his home state of Karnataka. “We were unable to afford a seat in a private college, and so we had no option but to send him to Ukraine,” his father Shekharappa told The Hindu.

Former Chief Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) H.D. Kumaraswamy, in a series of tweets, also opposed NEET calling it a “death knell” to the dreams of poor and rural students who want to study medicine. “A meritorious rural student like Naveen unable to get a medical seat in the country has exposed the “shameless face” of NEET. His death in Ukraine is a question to the conscience of India … ” he tweeted.

He pointed out that the introduction of NEET has spawned a rash of tuition and coaching centres. He also claimed that 99% of candidates who cleared NEET had received coaching. It is difficult for rural and government college students to clear it, making medical education exclusive to the rich, he concluded.

Kannada organisations also termed NEET “a violation of federalism” and sought its abolition. In her tweet, Kannada activist Shruthi Marulappa questioned why the Union Government was taking away opportunities of “our children” as it is State governments that are providing the infrastructure for colleges.

Another Twitter user pointed out Karnataka has 9,445 undergraduate medical seats of the total 84,649 in the country – the highest for any State. It accounts for more than 11% of the country’s medical seats, but NEET had made these seats unavailable to meritorious students from the State, he said.

“Karnataka has the most number of medical colleges and seats in the country, but meritorious students from the State are not able to secure seats here. Uttar Pradesh with an over 25 crore population doesn’t have as many colleges as Karnataka with a population of 6.5 crore has and that is why NEET came in,” tweeted T.A. Narayana Gowda, of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.

He also came down heavily on the political class of the State for not opposing NEET, like neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

Amidst growing criticism, Higher Education Minister C. N. Ashwath Narayan defended NEET as a “much needed reform in medical education” and called those opposing it “traitors and money sharks”.

Meanwhile, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah, condemning the BJP government in Delhi for its “failure” to secure the safety of students stranded in Ukraine, tweeted this was not the right time to debate the adverse impact of the chaos created by Narendra Modi Government’s implementation of NEET to bring uniformity.

NEET UG to be likely conducted in last week of June: Report

by Medically Speaking March 1, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

The date for the National Eligibility Common Entrance Test, or NEET 2022, is scheduled to be revealed soon. According to recent sources, the Medical Advisory Council has recommended that the examination be conducted in the third or fourth week of June. The National Testing Agency, which is in charge of the NEET UG exam, is expected to announce the exam date on nta.ac.in and neet.nta.nic.in by March 10.

MAC has asked NTA to work on the schedule at its ‘convenience’, according to a council meeting held last week. The meeting included representatives from the Ministry of Education, who discussed probable dates for the medical entrance examination.

“The participants discussed the likely period for conducting the medical admission test this year and proposed NTA pick a date from the third or fourth week of June,” an official who attended the meeting stated. NTA’s schedule for the different entrance tests it plans to administer during the summer months was also revealed by the Ministry of Education.

It should be remembered that NTA will also be administering other undergraduate entrance exams. From April, JEE Main 2022 and CUCET (for admission to Central Universities such as JNU, DU, and others) will be held. NEET is by far the most popular examination held by the NTA, with almost 16 lakh students taking part each year.

NEET 2022: To be held on June 26 in a pen-and-paper format.

Officials in attendance at the conference affirmed that the examination’s paper pattern will not alter. NEET 2022 will be a pen-and-paper exam for undergraduate medical, dentistry, and other courses. According to the current arrangement, the exam would be held on a single day and in numerous languages.

The official notice will most likely be issued within a week or ten days. The notice will be published on the nta.ac.in and neet.nta.nic.in official websites. Experts have already speculated that NEET 2022 could be held on June 23 or June 26.

“It is critical that the NEET UG test be held in late June or early July by the NTA. It is critical to return to a normal academic cycle now that everyone is learning to cope with the pandemic. The counselling procedure must start by September at the latest. And this is only conceivable if the results are announced in August,” said Mr. Jain, who has been involved in NEET preparation and coaching for more than a decade.

NEET UG Counseling 2021, the National Eligibility Cumulation Entrance Test, is now under progress. The second round of registration has been finished, and the results for the second round of counselling will be released on February 26, 2022. MCC has issued a crucial notice on the withdrawal of seats on its official website, mcc.nic.in, ahead of the outcome.
A total of 7 All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) seats have been removed from the counselling process. All of these seats are in the unreserved or general category, with one at AIIMS New Delhi and two in each of AIIMS Rishikesh, Jodhpur, and Raipur. The seat’s institute code and quota have also been noted.

As per the notice, “the seat mentioned for withdrawal will be removed with immediate effect from the Seat Matrix of Round 2”. The notice further reads that the “seat will be deleted from the database before allotment process of Round 2”.

Students may please understand, the notice means that now these seats would no longer be available. In other words, in case the Vacancy Notice on seats available suggests there are 32 open category seats now available in AIIMS Raipur, now they must be read as 30.

Students are advised to keep a check on the official website. The second round result would be released on February 26 and students would be required to report to the allotted institutes till March 5, 2022. A Mop-up round for All India Quota, deemed and Central Universities, AIIMS and JIPMER seats would be conducted from March 8, 2022 to March 9, 2022.
