NEET PG 2022 was held on May 21 and results were declared on June 1.

This year’s PG counselling is likely to be held for around 52,000 seats, news agency PTI has reported.

On the same day when NEET PG counselling was rescheduled, a Supreme Court bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli said that it will not interfere with NEET PG counselling.

“Don’t stall it anymore,” said the court and added, “We cannot put the students in jeopardy.”

The top court was hearing a petition which challenged the decision of the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) not to release answer key and question paper of NEET-PG 2022.
