Just like the past trends, the NEET 2022 counselling will be held over several rounds and in every round, a seat allotment result will be released.

The plea filed in the Supreme Court challenged NBE’s decision to not release NEET PG answer key and question paper and the petitioner argued that there were discrepancies in NEET PG scores and the applicants were not provided with any opportunity to apply for revaluation.

Moreover, the petitioners asked the apex court to direct the NBE to allow NEET-PG 2022 candidates, including the petitioners, the option of revaluation in case of discrepancy in their scores.

However, the Supreme Court refused to stay NEET PG Counselling and said it believed that if done, it could lead to not-so-favourable consequences.
