The initial projection was for the counselling to begin in July, but the precise dates are still unknown. Authorities are now finalizing permission letters to numerous medical schools, which is likely to increase the number of available seats. The counselling schedule will be made public once this procedure is finished, and these new seats will be included in the first round. Despite requests to cancel NEET-UG 2024 due to alleged irregularities, the Supreme Court has declined to postpone the process. The Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA) informed the Supreme Court that canceling the exam without proof of confidentiality violations would be unfair to honest applicants. The test, which was scheduled for May 5, is facing allegations of question paper leaks and impersonation, sparking media discussions and demonstrations. The Director General of the NTA, Subodh Singh, has been dismissed by the Centre, and a high-level committee led by former ISRO chief R Radhakrishnan has been formed to guarantee transparent exams. The CBI is looking into issues with NEET-UG and UGC-NET. Meanwhile, CSIR-UGC NET and NEET-PG have been preemptively canceled, with new dates already公布.
