Doctors who scored zero can now study PG medical courses

Candidates who appeared for NEET PG-2023 can now apply for post-graduate medical and dental seats regardless of their score, including zero or negative marks. This change in eligibility criteria is due to the large number of vacant seats in both government and non-government colleges. While some are happy with the decision, concerns have been raised by patient and consumer groups regarding the potential impact on merit-based admissions and the allocation of seats based on financial means.
