Overview

Amid the ongoing debate and differing opinions concerning the reduction of the cut-off percentile for the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) examination, the National Medical Commission (NMC) recently assured that lowering the percentile would not impact the quality of medical professionals, Education Times has reported.

While a section of the medical fraternity has expressed their doubts that lower percentile may compromise the quality of medical professionals and benefit private institutes by allowing them to fill their seats and earn profits by granting admission to underqualified aspirants, NMC has said that the decision to lower the cut-off has been taken to increase the number of practicing resident doctors and reduce the stress faced by the resident doctors due to huge workloads.
