The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is expected to announce the NEET PG 2025 counselling schedule soon for 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), and PG diploma courses. This comes as thousands of medical graduates prepare to secure postgraduate admission for the 2025–26 academic session.

While counselling is imminent, aspirants are awaiting clarity from the Supreme Court on a transparency plea related to the NEET PG 2025 exam. Earlier, NBEMS had released the AIQ merit list, but this year’s examination underwent several changes that have prompted concerns among candidates.

The exam, conducted on August 3, 2025, was initially scheduled in two shifts but was later converted into a single-shift format following Supreme Court orders, eliminating the need for normalisation in ranking. In addition, NBEMS initially announced it would release the answer key with full questions but later restricted it to question IDs, correct answers, and marked responses. Candidates challenged this move, arguing that without the full set of questions, it is impossible to verify scores accurately.

NBEMS is expected to release AIQ scorecards after September 5, 2025. These scorecards, available for six months, will display the overall NEET PG rank, All India Quota rank, and category-wise AIQ rank. Ahead of the counselling process, the National Medical Commission (NMC) clarified that medical colleges do not need fresh recognition of seats but must submit the annual disclosure report and course-wise fee details.

Despite these updates, many candidates continue to demand the release of full questions along with the answer key to ensure transparency before MCC counselling begins. With the Supreme Court hearing still pending, aspirants remain anxious, closely monitoring developments to secure a fair and smooth admission process for NEET PG 2025.
