Greetings from the Indian Medical Association - Junior Doctors Network (IMA-JDN).
We would like to bring to your kind attention the pressing issue of vacant postgraduate seats following the conclusion of the All India 2nd Round of NEET PG counseling for the academic year 2024. Despite the extensive efforts by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) and other authorities, a significant number of PG seats remain unfilled across the country. This situation is a matter of grave concern as these vacancies translate into an underutilization of valuable resources in our healthcare education system and hinder the development of a robust medical workforce.
In light of the current scenario, we earnestly request your esteemed office to consider reducing the cut-off marks for NEET PG 2024. This measure would ensure that eligible and competent candidates get an opportunity to secure these seats, thereby strengthening the healthcare delivery system in India. Additionally, it would prevent the wastage of precious educational resources and alleviate the existing shortage of specialists in various medical fields.
We strongly believe that a reduction in the NEET PG cut-off marks will:
1. Ensure optimal utilization of available medical seats.
2. Provide aspirants another chance to pursue their desired career paths, fostering talent development.
3. Address the disparity between the growing demand for specialized healthcare services and the availability of qualified professionals.
We remain hopeful that your intervention in this matter will result in a positive outcome, benefiting both the medical fraternity and the nation at large.
We look forward to your kind consideration and favorable action at the earliest.
