New Delhi: Referring to hundreds of vacant seats in the Super Speciality courses, the doctors under the umbrella of Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) have written to the Union Health Ministry seeking a reduction in the cut-off percentile for NEET SS 2021 counselling.
The doctors have pointed out that with the current cutoff mark of 50th percentile, a lot of doctors will be unable to meet the cutoff criteria resulting in a huge vacancy.
"After the unprecedented delay in the conduct of NEET Superspeciality 2021 examination, almost an entire academic year has been wasted, and now a high cutoff percentile means that many of the specialist doctors who are willing to pursue super specialization this year will fail to meet the cutoff criteria, thereby causing these seats to go vacant and wasting one more precious year of their lives for the preparation of the next NEET Superspeciality examination," FAIMA mentioned in its letter directed to the Health Minister.
Requesting @MoHFW_INDIA @NBEMS_INDIA & @NMC_IND to reduce the eligibility criteria for NEET SS for mop up round of counselling in order to fill all the vacant seats and hence avoid seat wastage and less numbers of super specialists. @PMOIndia @PTI_News @abplive #NEETSS pic.twitter.com/r2M6HAsPdP
