Dr. Harish Gupta, a member of the National Medical Commission, has confirmed that the NEET PG 2023 cut-off will be reduced in the near future (NMC). Dr. Harish Gupta spoke about the reduction in NEET PG 2023 Cut-Off, but no date has been specified as to when this change will take place; it has also been specified that the reduction in cut-off will not affect the quality of education and will not be a compromise to medical education because students come after qualifying a rigorous MBBS syllabus. What is the current NEET PG 2023 Cut-Off, how much reduction is expected, and what led to this decision? As previously stated, Dr. Harish Gupta, an NMC member, confirmed, that the National Medical Association will reduce the NEET PG 2023 Cut-Off as demanded by medical associations such as the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA). These organizations have asked for a 30% reduction in the cut-off.
Dr. Harish Gupta stated, "The reduction in NEET PG 2023 cut-off will not lower the standard of medical education, nor will it compromise the service." After completing a rigorous MBBS program, students will be admitted to postgraduate programs. The curriculum for the MBBS programs is designed to meet the medical needs of the country". Currently, the National Eligibility Cumulative Entrance Test Post Graduate Cut-Off (NEET PG Cut-Off) percentile is 50 for students from general/unreserved categories, 45 for students from the PwD category, and 40 for students from other reserved categories. NMC has not disclosed how much or when it will change the cut-off. On the social media platform 'X,' The IMA stated in its letter that this will ensure that a significant number of aspiring doctors can enroll in postgraduate programs at various medical colleges across the country and that not a single postgraduate seat will be vacant.
"As a result of high cutoff scores, aspiring medical students will not only be denied admission to postgraduate study, but will also be forced to travel abroad to pursue their dream field of study, further depleting India's medical manpower pool." "We cannot afford to lose these precious gems at a time when the country requires a full-fledged medical army to protect citizens", the IMA added. The safety and well-being of our country's citizens is dependent on you ensuring that adequate medical staff is available, so that there is no shortage of human resources within the medical profession. We request that you lower the NEET PG 2023 cut off percentile by 30% so that the majority of the seats are filled.
