The Supreme Court of India has refused an application to have the Medical Talks Committee (MCC) conduct NEET-PG 2024 AIQ (All India Quota) Round III discussions anew. Three NEET-PG-2024 candidates have submitted a formal request due to seat blockages caused by the postponement of the second round of state counselling in Madhya Pradesh. They stated that another round of counselling was required.

Justices K. Vinod Chandran and B.R. Gavai heard the case on a bench. Justice Gavai called the applicants' request for another round of therapy "very complicated."If these three petitioners get their way, there could be an additional 30 fatalities. This condition was exclusive to Madhya Pradesh and did not affect any other state.

Candidates requested that MCC reschedule the third round of NEET-PG-2024 counselling. To fill the remaining slots occupied by candidates from states where the second round of state counselling was not completed, they requested a fourth round of counselling. The candidates expressed their dissatisfaction with the AIQ Round III procedure and asked for an alternative registration option for those who met the eligibility requirements to participate in the NEET-PG 2024 counselling session. They primarily asserted that the Anjana Chari case failed to meet the Supreme Court's NEET spot allotment deadline.

Senior Advocate K. Parmeswar, counsel for the applicants, stated that there were fewer seats available in AIQ Round III due to seat obstructions and delays in the completion of MP State Round II. Consequently, the candidates received seats in smaller topic groups. He went on to note that the situation had two consequences for the candidates: first, they were offered fewer spaces in their selected majors, and second, they were housed at private colleges rather than public ones. He stated that the state, not the pupils, was to blame for jeopardising the candidates' prospects.

According to Gaurav Sharma, a lawyer with the National Medical Commission, a problem particular to Madhya Pradesh should not derail the All India Quota meeting. "If we take any action now, it will have ripple effects across all states," our representative told us. According to him, after applicants have chosen their positions in AIQ Round III, they cannot modify them. He informed the court that they could move on to the next round if certain state seats remained empty. People from all over India will apply for AIQ seats if the case's contestants drop out. 

The Supreme Court has disallowed another round of NEET-PG-2024 counselling. This judgement aims to keep the advice process fair for everyone by resolving some objections. If the matter was considered, the court agreed that there could be complications. To ensure that the process was transparent and fair for all candidates, they emphasised the importance of complying with specified timelines and standards.

While the petitioners' complaints about Madhya Pradesh seat blocking and delays are genuine, the court's judgement highlights the broader issues that such actions may cause. Granting a second chance at counselling could potentially disrupt the entire process for thousands of previously selected candidates. To protect the value of the coaching process, the court believes it is critical to follow the specified restrictions and timelines.

Given the Supreme Court's refusal of the motion, it is evident that states require comprehensive, timely counselling programs to avert future problems of this nature.
