<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe delay in NEET-SS 2025 counselling has sparked anger among doctors and aspirants, many of whom have taken to social media to criticise authorities and demand that the process be completed without further delay.The reaction followed a notice issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on June 6, stating that Round 2 of NEET-SS 2025 counselling remains on hold because of an ongoing legal dispute over 151 vacant super-speciality seats in Tamil Nadu.Expressing frustration online, a group of doctors said thousands of qualified candidates have been left waiting for more than two months despite paying nearly Rs 2 lakh in counselling-related fees. They argued that the prolonged uncertainty has created financial and professional difficulties for aspirants.\u201cMany are facing mounting EMIs, financial stress, and uncertainty about their careers while the counselling process remains stalled,\u201d a social media post said. The doctors questioned who should be held responsible for the delay and whether it reflected a larger failure of the medical education system.According to the MCC, the Supreme Court had directed the Tamil Nadu government to inform the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) about 151 vacant DM and MCh seats and revert them for inclusion in the ongoing counselling process. The committee said it had written to the state government seeking the transfer of the seats.However, MCC said the Tamil Nadu government later informed it that a review petition had been filed before the Supreme Court on June 4. The committee added that it is examining the issue and exploring legal remedies before deciding the next course of action.Doctors online argued that the review petition should not hold up counselling for thousands of candidates. Some suggested that MCC could proceed with Round 2 counselling and accommodate the disputed seats in a later round, subject to the court’s final decision.\u201cSupreme Court has already issued directions. Review Petition should not delay NEET-SS Round-2 counselling for thousands of candidates,\u201d one post said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
