The Supreme Court has ordered the Tamil Nadu government to restore 151 NEET SS seats. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) must complete the NEET SS 2025 counselling within two weeks. The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) welcomed the court's directive.
NEET SS 2025 Counselling Order
The Supreme Court mandated the restoration of the 151 seats by July 29, 2026. FAIMA had previously petitioned the court. The association highlighted a five-month delay in the NEET SS 2025 counselling process. This delay prevented thousands of qualified candidates from starting their super-specialty training.
FAIMA urged the MCC to resume counselling immediately. The association stated that prolonged delays negatively impact doctors' careers and patient care. Thousands of specialist doctors have been waiting for months for their training to begin.
Key Directives and Next Steps
Supreme Court Directives:
- Tamil Nadu government to restore 151 NEET SS seats by July 29, 2026.
- MCC to conclude NEET SS 2025 counselling within two weeks.
FAIMA emphasized the professional, financial, and psychological effects of the prolonged delay on aspiring specialist doctors. The association requested an early hearing on the matter to resolve the stalled counselling process.
With the seats restored and the court's order, the NEET SS 2025 counselling schedule is expected soon. Candidates should monitor the official MCC website for updates and announcements regarding the counselling process.
