Supreme Court Asks Centre to Reconsider NEET-SS Qualifying Cut-Off Amid Vacant Seats
The Supreme Court on September 10, 2026, asked the Centre to reconsider its decision not to reduce the qualifying percentile cut-off for NEET-SS super speciality courses, citing many unfilled seats. Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati informed the court that the government consulted stakeholders and plans a special stray round to fill vacancies without lowering the cut-off. Tamil Nadu representatives urged the court to reduce the percentile and return vacant seats to the State. The court scheduled further hearings for September 17, 2026.
