NEET PG: Candidates cannot change caste category after results- HC junks doctor's plea
Denying relief to a doctor, the Karnataka High Court dismissed her plea seeking a direction to the authorities to allow her to change her category from General to OBC after the declaration of the results of the NEET PG 2025 examination.
Dismissing the plea, a division bench of Justices D K Singh and Venkatesh Naik observed, "...once, a candidate has filled up his/her form for NEET-UG/PG belonging to a particular category and if he/she fails to correct the application form during the period provided for correction by the National Testing Agency, a candidate, after declaration of the result would not be entitled to change his/her category...We, therefore, find no substance in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is hereby dismissed, however without costs."
