NEET PG 2026: State Domicile Rules Vary Despite SC Order

NEET PG 2026: State Domicile Rules Vary Despite SC Order
NEET PG 2026: Domicile Rules Vary Across States Despite SC Order, Candidates Raise Concern · timesnownews.com

A big medical test called NEET PG helps doctors get into advanced medical school.

The top court, called the Supreme Court, made a rule.

The rule says states cannot give students extra preference just because they live in that state.

That means students should be chosen only by their test score.

But the students taking the test say the rule is not being followed everywhere.

Some states still give preference to students who live there.

Other states do not do this.

So two students with the same score may not get the same chance.

Many students are worried and have raised their concerns about this unfairness.
