Supreme Court Mandates Fee Disclosure for NEET-PG Admissions
The Supreme Court is making sure that the process of getting into postgraduate medical schools (NEET-PG) is fairer.
They want universities to tell students all the fees upfront, before counseling even starts.
This is to stop schools from holding onto seats and making it harder for students to get in.
The court also wants a schedule for counseling that everyone follows, and will punish schools that block seats unfairly.
They're also making sure that exam scores are public so everyone can see how the process works.
Supreme Court mandates pre-counselling fee disclosure by private and deemed universities.
The order addresses the issue of seat blocking in postgraduate medical admissions.
A nationally synchronized counselling calendar is to be implemented.
Strict penalties for seat blocking include forfeiture of security deposit and disqualification.
The court ordered authorities to publish raw scores and answer keys for transparency.
