Supreme Court Cracks Down on NEET-PG Seat Blocking
The Supreme Court wants to stop medical schools from holding onto seats unfairly, which is called seat blocking.
To stop this, they're making schools show all their fees upfront.
Also, everyone will apply at the same time, so no one can save spots illegally.
If schools cheat, they'll be punished.
The goal is to ensure a fairer process for everyone applying to become doctors, where seats go to the best students.
The Supreme Court mandated fee disclosure before counselling for NEET-PG admissions.
The order aims to combat seat blocking in postgraduate medical admissions.
A nationally synchronized counselling calendar will be implemented.
Strict penalties, including disqualification, will be enforced for seat blocking.
Raw scores and answer keys will be published to enhance transparency.
