NEET SS 2020 Counselling for DM, MCh, DNB SS courses: MCC releases schedule, View here
New Delhi: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has finally released the Schedule for Online National Counselling (Allotment Process) for NEET Super Specialty Courses, NEET SS 2020 Counselling for admission to DM, MCh and DNB SS courses this academic year 2020-21.
The counselling was supposed to have started on October 8th. However, due to an unforeseen reservation matter pending with the Kerala High Court, the admission process had been deferred. Medical Dialogues had reported about the recent verdict on the matter once it reached the Supreme Court.
Giving its final verdict, the Supreme Court had ruled that there cannot be any 50 percent reservation to in-service candidates in super-specialty courses for the current academic year of 2020-21. Holding so, the apex court then directed the Directorate General of Health Services to proceed with the counselling for SS admissions. The directives were passed by a Bench of honourable Justices L Nageswara Rao, Hemant Gupta and Ajay Rastogi in a batch of petitions challenging the orders passed by the Kerala and Madras High Courts on the issue.
However, this direction is only meant for this academic year, the apex court has clarified while putting the put the matter related to decisions taken by the Kerala and Tamil Nadu government for providing quota to in-service doctors for further consideration in February next year.
The SC bench was hearing a batch of pleas filed by doctors, including NEET PG qualifiers who were challenging reservation of seats for in-service candidates in super-specialty courses.
Now, with the SC nod to the commencement of the NEET SS Counselling for this academic session, the MCC, the counselling body for SS Admissions has released the schedule for the allotment process.
