NEET PG 2025: Doctors Move NMC, Health Ministry Over Absence of SOP for Disabled Candidates
With the counselling for the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) exam scheduled to commence in September, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has not yet released the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for postgraduate admission guidelines for doctors having disabilities.
Highlighting the issue, Doctors with Disabilities: Agents of Change, an association representing health professionals with disabilities in India, has written to the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of the Apex Medical Commission and the Directorate of Health Services (DGHS), under the Union Health Ministry.
Apart from the demand for publishing the SOP, the association has also demanded an increase in the number of NMC-designated assessment centres, release of the training schedule for all 16 medical boards, publishing of the names of doctors with disabilities appointed in those boards, issue of comprehensive guidelines on clinical accommodations etc.
