In a major step, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has considered reducing the qualifying percentile for the National Eligibility Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG 2023 ). The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has asked NMC to reduce the NEET PG 2023 cut-off to “zero” across all categories.
While candidates were waiting for seat allotments in the third round, a new notice was issued by the NMC, informing candidates about the changes in the qualifying criterion.
The chorus for lowering the qualifying cut-off percentile of NEET PG 2023 grew louder when the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) wrote a letter to the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya requesting him to confirm the possibility of decreasing the cut-off score for the NEET PG 2023 examination.
Medical associations are urging the National Board of Examinations (NBME) to lower the cut-off score for the NEET PG 2023 examination in order to fill vacant seats in postgraduate medical education.
