Medical Dialogues had raised the issue of vacant Super-specialty seats after the completion of all the rounds of NEET-SS 2021 Counselling due to high cut-off marks.

These seats are not only from branches that are least sought after but hundreds of seats belonging to coveted branches such as DM Cardiology (DMCD) and DNBSS Cardiology (DCRD) and those in the super-specializations of Neurology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology even oncology that were also lying vacant.

Blaming the high cut-off marks responsible for the wastage of hundreds of seats, the doctors had been writing to the authorities in this regard and praying for a lowering of the cut-off percentile and arranging a stray vacancy round for filling up the vacant seats.

After several deliberations by the authorities, the National Board of Examinations (NBE) had reduced the cut-off of NEET SS 2021 by the 15th percentile for 32 specialities.
