The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Associations (FORDA) has urged the Centre to withdraw the decision to reduce NEET PG 2025 cut-off scores. The body has expressed concerns over academic standards and fairness in postgraduate medical admissions.
The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Associations (FORDA) has appealed to the Central Government to withdraw the decision to reduce the NEET PG 2025 qualifying cut-off scores. The demand comes amid growing concerns regarding the impact of the decision on the quality of postgraduate medical education. NEET PG is the primary entrance examination for admission to MD, MS and PG Diploma courses across India.
FORDA Raises Concerns Over NEET PG Cut-Off Reduction
FORDA has stated that lowering the qualifying cut-off could compromise academic merit and clinical competence of postgraduate medical students. According to the association, maintaining minimum standards is essential for patient safety and the long-term credibility of the healthcare system. The organisation has also highlighted the need for transparency and stakeholder consultation before implementing such policy changes.
Impact on NEET PG Admission Process
The reduction in cut-off scores directly affects eligibility for NEET PG counselling and seat allotment. A lower cut-off increases the number of eligible candidates but may also intensify competition during counselling rounds. Medical aspirants and resident doctors have called for a balanced approach that addresses seat vacancies without diluting academic benchmarks.
What Happens Next?
The Centre is yet to issue an official response to FORDA’s appeal. Further clarity on NEET PG 2025 counselling guidelines and cut-off criteria is expected in the coming weeks. Candidates are advised to regularly monitor official announcements related to NEET PG admissions.
