Centre Forms DGHS-Led Panel to Audit NEET-PG Admission System Amid Cut-Off Challenges
The Centre has formed a 12-member committee led by the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) to conduct an internal audit of the NEET-PG admission system, following petitions challenging the reduction of the qualifying percentile cut-off for NEET-PG 2025-26. The Supreme Court granted eight weeks for the panel to report on potential impacts on medical education standards. The government stated that lowering the cut-off is a consistent policy to avoid seat wastage, citing similar reductions since NEET-PG's inception in 2017.
