The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has unveiled revised guidelines for seat allocation in the NEET-SS exam, affecting reservation percentages and eligibility criteria for the upcoming academic year.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare today announced revised guidelines for seat allocation in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Super Specialty (NEET-SS). The new policy will take effect from the next academic year and will be implemented across all participating institutions.
Under the updated framework, the government has outlined changes to the reservation structure for various categories, including Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and economically weaker sections. The guidelines also clarify eligibility criteria for candidates seeking admission through NEET-SS.
The decision aims to enhance fairness and broaden access for underrepresented groups, according to officials. Implementation and compliance will be overseen by the Medical Council of India.
Students and institutions are urged to review the updated guidelines before submitting applications. A detailed circular containing all technical specifications is expected to be released shortly by the Ministry.
