NEET PG is conducted in CBT mode and comprises 200 multiple-choice questions. There are around 70,000 PG medical seats across India. Out of these, 2,000-2500 seats remain vacant each year. Hence, this year, the Medical Counselling Committee, MCC had set the counselling cut-off criteria as ‘zero’ prior to round 3. However, this was a one-time move. The move drew a lot of criticism from doctors and medical students. The NEET PG cut-off is usually set at 50 per cent for general/unreserved category students, 45 per cent for students with disabilities (PwD), and 40 per cent for students who belong to other reserved groups.
