What is the NEET SS Exam?
The NEET SS exam is a national level exam for a postgraduate degree in super-speciality courses such as urology, neurology, cardiology and so on. The minimum requirement to appear for the NEET SS screening test is a graduate degree in medical science (MBBS/MDS and so on), along with certification from a registered medical authority.
The official notification released by the MCC states - “In reference to few super speciality seats of colleges/institutions not being added earlier to the seat matrix by them, MCC of DGHS is in the process of adding these colleges/institutes to the seat matrix. Hence the choice filling for Super Specialty will be paused for sometime so that these colleges/institutes may add these seats to the seat matrix. As soon as the addition of the fresh seats by the colleges/institutes is complete the choice filling shall be resumed and will be notified by way of notice”.
The notice released has asked for the attention of all candidates. After the addition of seats in the Round 1 of the NEET SS 2021 counselling for D.M/M.Ch/DrDNB SS, the choice-filling procedure will continue as before as soon as possible.
