NEET-PG Seats Allotted at Single-Digit Scores: Doctors Warn of Patient Safety Risks

Описание: A shocking fallout of the revised NEET-PG cut-off policy is raising alarms across India’s medical fraternity.

Postgraduate medical seats in top government colleges are being filled with single-digit and double-digit scores — including in high-risk specialties like orthopaedics, general surgery, and obstetrics. In third-round counselling, an Orthopaedics seat was allotted at just 4 marks.

The reduction in NEET-PG qualifying standards for the 2025–26 session has allowed some candidates to qualify with zero or negative scores. While the move ensured seats were not left vacant, senior doctors warn it may compromise patient safety.

Faculty shortages, rapid seat expansion, and weaker exit exams exacerbate the problem. The Health Ministry says competence will be ensured through training and final assessments, but medical experts fear long-term consequences for healthcare quality.
