The first round of admissions for the 2026 NEET PG counselling in Madhya Pradesh has been suspended following a directive from the Jabalpur High Court.
The Madhya Pradesh state government has halted the initial round of NEET PG counselling for the 2026 batch after the Jabalpur High Court issued a stay order. The court intervened following petitions that questioned the transparency of the admission process and the allocation of seats.
State officials confirmed that all online portals and counseling centers will remain inactive until further notice. Applicants who had already registered for the first round have been advised to await official communication regarding the next steps.
The suspension adds uncertainty for thousands of medical graduates who were expecting to secure postgraduate seats in the state’s government and private medical colleges. The education department has pledged to address the court’s concerns and resume counselling as soon as compliance is ensured.
Legal experts note that the high court’s involvement underscores the growing scrutiny of medical entrance procedures across India, especially after recent controversies in other states.
Stakeholders, including college administrators and student bodies, are monitoring the situation closely, anticipating a revised schedule that aligns with the court’s directives.
