The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the DGHS has revised the tentative schedule for the NEET PG online counselling for the academic year 2025 for the 50 percent All India Quota AIQ and 100 percent Deemed, Central Universities, and AFMS seats.

Although the National Medical Commission's newly notified Medical Institutions (Qualifications of Faculty) Regulations 2025, recognised Non-teaching government hospitals with 220+ beds as teaching institutes, the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of the Commission does not have any data available regarding the number of such institutes, the Commission revealed in response to a recent Right to Information (RTI).

The RTI was filed by Dr. Meet Ghonia, the National General Secretary of the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA). In the application, he pointed out that as per the said regulations, Non-Teaching Government Hospitals with 220 or more beds can now be designated as Teaching hospitals.
