Why was the NEET PG Counselling 2021 Postponed?
The counselling was delayed due to a petition in the Supreme Court that challenged the new OBC (other backward classes) and EWS (economically weaker section) reservation scheme announced by the government. The next hearing for the matter is scheduled for December 6, 2022.
When will the NEET PG Counselling 2021 be Started?
The Centre has told the Supreme Court that NEET PG counselling 2021 will not begin before the reservation issue is resolved.
