12 Candidates Barred from UP NEET PG 2025 Counselling
Uttar Pradesh- Last year, 12 candidates did not take admission after seat allotment in the UP National Eligibility and Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET PG) counselling stray vacancy round and even left the course midway after admission.
Therefore, the office of the Director General Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh (DGME, UP) has banned these 12 candidates and also issued a notice.
As per the notice, it states that these 12 candidates will not be able to participate in the UP NEET PG counselling for the academic year 2025. The notice also states that if any candidate does not take admission after seat allotment from the stray vacancy round of NEET PG counselling, the security amount of such candidates will be forfeited and they will be barred from UP NEET PG counselling 2025-26.
Along with this, DGME, UP has released the list of names of 9 such candidates and also released the list of names of 3 such candidates who had taken admission last year but left the course midway.
According to the rule, if a candidate leaves a seat in government, private medical or dental colleges after the final stage of counselling before completing the course, he or she will be debarred from appearing in the entrance examination for the next academic session.
The effect of this strict rule introduced in July 2024 has been seen this year as well. On this, speaking to the LiveHindustan, a senior official of the Medical Education Department said, "This provision was brought because earlier many students had taken the seat/admission, but later left. This left the seats vacant in the respective colleges."
Along with this, the official also said, "Before 2024, the number of such students used to be more and we hope that such a practice will end in the coming years."
NEET PG counselling for the session 2025-26 will begin after July. Meanwhile, there are over 4000 PG seats in Uttar Pradesh. The number of MD/MS/Diploma seats in the government sector is 1,871, while 2,100 PG seats are available in the private sector. A total of 250 seats have also been added in super-speciality courses.
