New Delhi, July 6: The start of the counselling process for the NEET-UG 2024 medical entrance exam, which was originally scheduled to begin on Saturday, has been postponed.
Although the Medical Counselling Committee had not released a detailed notification or schedule, the counselling session was anticipated to start on July 6.
Sources stated that the issuance of letters of permission to certain medical colleges is still ongoing, and additional seats will be included in the process.

“The date of counselling will be announced once the exercise gets over to ensure seats of the new colleges can be taken up in the first round itself,” an official source stated.
Sources mentioned that the counselling might commence later this month.
As calls for cancelling the controversy-ridden NEET-UG 2024 grow due to alleged malpractices, the Centre and the National Testing Agency told the Supreme Court on Friday that scrapping the exam without proof of a major breach of confidentiality could be detrimental and might “seriously jeopardize” the prospects of many honest candidates.
Last month, the Supreme Court denied a request to delay the counselling process for the NEET-UG 2024 examination amid the ongoing controversy. The Court was hearing a petition that sought a two-day pause in the process.
