What is UP NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG is a national exam for doctors who have completed their MBBS degree. It allows them to apply for postgraduate medical courses like MD, MS, and DNB. Counselling is the process where students choose their desired colleges and specializations based on their NEET PG scores. The UP NEET PG counselling specifically handles admissions to colleges within Uttar Pradesh.
For students aged 15-18, think of it like this: After you finish your general medical studies (like MBBS), if you want to become a specialist doctor (like a heart specialist or a surgeon), you take another entrance exam called NEET PG. Then, you attend counselling sessions. In these sessions, you get to choose which college and which specific subject you want to study further. This UP NEET PG counselling is for those doctors who want to pursue their specialisation in a college located in Uttar Pradesh.
