MP High Court Halts NEET PG Counselling, Caps In-Service Seats at 30 per Specialization
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued an interim order halting the first round of NEET PG Counselling 2026 in the state.

This follows challenges by open-category candidates alleging irregularities in merit list preparation and unfair seat allocation. The court has also issued notices to the state and DME for further hearings.
