Supreme Court Orders NEET SS 2025 Counselling Completion
The Supreme Court has told the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to finish the NEET SS 2025 counselling process within two weeks.
This is after a big delay of nearly five months.
The delay was because of a legal fight over 151 seats in Tamil Nadu.
The court also told the Tamil Nadu government to return these seats to the central pool.
FAIMA, a group of doctors, is happy with this decision and wants the MCC to start the counselling right away.
They say the delay has caused problems for doctors and patients.
The MCC will now update the seat list and tell candidates the next steps.
