NEET PG 2025 Counselling on Hold: Students Express Concerns on AIQ

The NEET PG 2025 Counselling for All India Quota (AIQ) seats has been put on hold following a Supreme Court order. Aspirants are expressing confusion and disappointment as the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has not announced a schedule due to a pending transparency review.

Supreme Court Order Causes Delay in NEET PG 2025 Counselling

The delay stems from a Supreme Court review regarding a transparency plea filed by some candidates. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has been given two weeks to respond to the court’s order issued on September 26, 2025. The MCC manages counselling for fifty percent of India’s postgraduate medical seats. Originally, NEET PG 2025 counselling was expected soon after results were declared in August, but the current legal proceedings have stalled the process.

Student Reactions on Social Media

NEET PG aspirants are sharing their concerns across social media platforms about the impact of this delay on their careers:

• A student from Uttar Pradesh tweeted: "It’s been more than two months, and still no dates for AIQ counselling. Feels like our career timelines are slipping away. We deserve clarity."
• Dr. Aditya Kumar wrote: "Almost two months to NEET PG & no sign of counselling. Lag raha joining 2026 mein hogi is baar."
• A first-generation aspirant from Karnataka shared: "Can someone explain what is happening? Every article says something different. I don’t know who to believe. I am stressed and confused."
• A student from Kerala posted on Facebook: "We have been preparing for years, and now everything is in limbo. It’s not just about admission, it’s about our future. We need answers."
• Another aspirant from Delhi commented: "First generation doctor here… no mentor, no clear information. Every day feels like a setback."

The emotional strain is evident, with aspirants reporting stress, uncertainty, and mental pressure due to the prolonged delay.

Impact on Medical Academic Schedule

Experts warn that the delay in counselling could affect the start of the academic session, hospital staffing schedules, and even subsequent batches of medical training. The ripple effects may extend beyond the current NEET PG aspirants. Until the Supreme Court delivers its verdict, the timeline for NEET PG 2025 AIQ counselling remains uncertain. Aspirants continue to demand updates from MCC to plan their academic and professional paths effectively.
