New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has requested the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandviya to ‘mop-up’ all the candidates who appeared in the NEET-PG exam without any cut-off. Allow to participate in Mop-up Counseling and ‘Stray Vacancy Round’. The IMA said that these candidates have passed their graduation examination and thus fulfill the basic eligibility criteria.
It said in a letter sent on Thursday that the country was passing through a serious medical emergency and the risk of keeping any post vacant in the medical field could not be taken. According to the available data, many postgraduate seats remain vacant every year as not enough candidates above the cut-off choose them, the doctors’ body said. It claimed that even in reputed government colleges, seats in para-clinical and basic subjects remain vacant.

The IMA said, “India needs a lot of specialist doctors and it must be understood that no seat remains vacant, especially when interested candidates are waiting to take admission but due to eligibility restrictions they cannot take admission. Can.”
The doctors’ body said that challenging times require new measures. “It is thus requested that the condition of cut-off may be waived off and admission may be offered to all other candidates who are otherwise eligible using NEET ranking,” the IMA said. In view of the pandemic, it may be considered as a one-time measure this year.”(agency)
