NEET PG 2021 Round 2 Counselling has become a matter of intense concern for all aspring candidates. Here are the clarifications made by the Supreme Court regarding the same.
NEET PG 2021 Round 2 Counselling has become a matter of concern for all the aspirants this year. This is mainly because of all the anomalies that have been taking place in the counselling rounds organised and conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). These anomalies have driven the Supreme Court to listen to plea after plea, including an intervention plea that will be heard tomorrow, that is, April 6, 2022.

What is the NEET PG 2021 Special Round Counselling?
The NEET PG 2021 special round counselling was introduced recently under the direct orders of the Supreme Court. The NEET PG 2021 Counselling Mop Up Round results were pulled by the Supreme Court after several anomalies were pointed out in the counselling procedure.
The Court has expressed dissatisfaction in the mop up round counselling regarding two salient points as mentioned below:
The addition of 146 new seats in the government colleges in the mop up round counselling. This created a problem because these seats had not been available in Round 1 as well as Round 2.
The notice dated March 16, 2022 as put forward by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) bars all the aspiring candidates who have taken admissions in the state quota from applying for the All India Quota (AIQ). The problem arose because this notification has not been uniformly applied everywhere.
In the FAQ section of the MCC FAQ notification page, there was no mention of what would happen to those candidates who had received a seat allotment in the Special Round, but did not take admission. The question was raised as to whether they could keep their Second Round allotment instead. The Supreme Court has clarified that a candidate will only lose their seat in the second round counselling if they join the seat allotted to them in the NEET PG Special Round.

In the FAQ notification, the MCC has stated - “If you are allotted a seat in Special Round and you don’t join the allotted seat then you will fall in the Exit with Forfeiture category. Your Security Deposit will get forfeited and you will have to Register again with payment of requisite fees in Mop Up Round of PG Counselling. However, once you join the seat allotted to you in the Special Round, you will not be able to resign.”
The MCC FAQ section can be accessed via the official website - mcc.nic.in.
