#BREAKING: Supreme Court Refuses to Postpone NEET-UG 2024 Counselling

In a significant development, the Supreme Court of India has denied the petition to postpone the NEET-UG 2024 counselling, which is scheduled to begin on July 6. The petitioners had sought a deferment of the counselling dates in light of the Supreme Court’s upcoming hearing on the NEET-UG petitions, slated for July 8.

The petitioners argued that the outcome of the July 8 hearing could potentially impact the counselling process and, therefore, requested a delay to ensure fairness and clarity for all aspirants. However, the Supreme Court, after careful consideration, decided to proceed with the original schedule, turning down the plea.

The decision has garnered mixed reactions from the student community and educational stakeholders. While some express relief at the clarity provided by sticking to the original schedule, others are concerned about potential implications if the July 8 hearing brings about significant changes.

A senior official from the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the NEET-UG exam, stated, “We respect the Supreme Court’s decision and are prepared to commence the counselling process as planned. We assure all candidates that the process will be conducted transparently and fairly.”

Students who have been eagerly awaiting the counselling process are advised to prepare accordingly and stay updated with official notifications from the NTA and counselling authorities.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to delay the NEET-UG 2024 counselling marks a crucial moment in the ongoing discourse surrounding the entrance examination. As the July 8 hearing approaches, all eyes will be on the potential implications for future medical aspirants in India.
