600 Super-speciality seats lying vacant- Madras HC tells MCC, DGHS to conduct NEET SS mop up round

Chennai: The Madras High Court recently issued directions to the Director General of Health Services (DGHS), operative under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to conduct mop-up counselling for the National Eligibility-Entrance Test (NEET) Super-Specialty 2024-2025 exam to fill up vacant seats and enable successful candidates to get their preferred courses.

The HC bench comprising Justice G K Ilanthiraiyan passed the order while considering a plea filed by some doctors who prayed for orders to conduct the mop-up counselling to fill all vacancies across several states.

While considering the matter, the court directed the DGHS and MCC to conduct the mop-up counselling within four weeks.

As per the latest media report by The New Indian Express, the counsel for the petitioners, senior counsel P H Arvindh Pandian, submitted that out of the 5,000 super specialty seats available in medical colleges across the country, as many as 600 are lying vacant after two rounds of counselling under the NEET-SS and an additional round will benefit the candidates and will also fill up the seats.

The petitioners’ counsel submitted before the Court that the denial of mop-up counselling will result in arbitrary and unjustified non-utilisation of valuable resources of public and private medical educational institutes, particularly in the high-demand, prestigious institutes. Therefore, it will defeat the objective of equitable access to medical education, submitted the counsel.

Senior counsel Arvindh Pandian further submitted before the HC bench, “The Super Specialty seats are a valuable public resource created at significant cost and must not remain vacant. The respondents’ failure to include TN’s unfilled seats in the national counselling process has resulted in wastage, warranting a mop-up round to ensure optimal seat utilisation in public interest.”

On the other hand, the counsel for the authorities, including DGHS, Additional Solicitor General of India A R L Sundaresan, opposed the plea, arguing that the counselling sessions for PG Super Specialty courses were conducted by DGHS in strict compliance with the orders passed by the Supreme Court in the case of Anish Ranjan. In that case, the Apex Court bench had fixed strict time schedules, there cannot be any extension of time, argued the ASG.

The DGHS’s counsel submitted that the Supreme Court fixed the last date on August 31 of every year and therefore, a fresh mop-up round cannot be held in September after the cut-off dates are over. Further, the ASG pointed out that the relief sought by the petitioners was highly belated and the academic year had already begun. 

After considering the arguments, the HC bench granted relief to the petitioners and directed the authorities, including the DGHS, to conduct the mop-up counselling.

The High Court’s ruling come amid the demands from the superspeciality candidates to hold another round of counselling for NEET SS 2024. Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that, highlighting that several superspeciality seats are still vacant even after three rounds of NEET-SS 2024 counselling, aspirants were urging the Government authorities to hold another round of counselling to prevent wasting these seats.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that more than 1500 super-speciality seats were lying vacant even after two rounds of National Eligibility-Entrance Test Super Speciality (NEET-SS) 2024 Counselling. Back then, the doctors had urged the authorities, including the National Board of Examinations (NBE), to lower the cut-off before the next round of counselling.

Consequently, back in July, NBEMS reduced the qualifying percentile for NEET SS 2024 stray round counselling and announced that all the candidates who had appeared for the NEET SS-2024 exam with an eligible broad-speciality degree (MD/MS/DNB) shall be allowed to participate in the stray round of NEET-SS Super Specialty Counselling 2024.

Punjab MBBS Bond Policy Requires Rs 20 Lakh Property Sureties Faces Backlash

Punjab’s new MBBS bond policy, requiring government medical college MBBS students to pledge two properties worth Rs 20 lakh as sureties, has drawn criticism.

The move has sparked widespread backlash from parents, students, the Resident Doctors Association, and IMA Punjab, who call the rule “regressive and punitive,” arguing it places an unfair burden on middle- and lower-income families and could deter meritorious students. Parents have suggested alternatives such as bank guarantees or withholding permanent registration.

Younger Women Face Distinct, Underdiagnosed Heart Attack Risks: Mayo Study

Many heart attacks in people under 65, especially women, stem from factors beyond clogged arteries, challenging old assumptions according to Mayo Clinic. A 15-year study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology examined data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project, revealing nontraditional causes like spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and embolism frequently trigger heart attacks in younger women.

spontaneous coronary artery dissection, which often affects younger healthy women, is commonly misdiagnosed as classic artery plaque buildup, leading to ineffective treatments. While atherosclerosis remains the most common cause in men and women, it accounted for just 47% of heart attacks in women versus 75% in men. The study highlights the need for better diagnosis and awareness to prevent harmful interventions and improve outcomes, especially for women, urging patients to advocate for thorough evaluations when symptoms appear atypical.

Payments to Consultant Doctors classified as Professional Fees, Not Salary, says Bombay HC

In a recent judgment, the Bombay High Court has held that payments made to consultant doctors are not salary in the absence of a fixed pay, and therefore, TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) is deductible under Section 194J of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

This observation was made by the Court while considering an appeal filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax, TDS-1, Mumbai, challenging the order dated 8th September 2017 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal under the provisions of Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
