SC to hear on 3rd round of NEET counselling

New Delhi:  The Supreme Court on Friday will hear the matter seeking an additional third round of counselling to be done in medical and surgical courses across the country.

The admission to medical and dental courses across the country were conducted on the basis of NEET 2017 scores. Following the second round of counseling, many universities have reported empty seats.

The plea was filed by Dr. Senthil Nathan.

According to Dr. Nathan, nearly 1,600 seats in medical and surgical courses are left vacant after the second round of counselling across the country. He recommended a third round of counselling to resolve this matter.

A three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra, Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud will hear the matter on Friday.
