What is NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG is a national entrance exam for doctors who want to specialise further. After passing NEET PG, students need to go through a counselling process to get a seat in MD (Doctor of Medicine) or MS (Master of Surgery) courses. This counselling decides which college and medical field a student will get based on their rank and choices.
The Tamil Nadu counselling process for 2025 is for seats in medical colleges across the state. It is a critical step for doctors to continue their advanced medical studies.
