Overview
- The Medical Counselling Committee extended Round 1 choice filling until further notice after the NBE withdrew 169 PG DNB seats and the NMC flagged changes in postgraduate seat distribution.
- MCC said it is removing excess seats and reapplying the reservation roster, with a revised seat matrix and a fresh schedule to be uploaded on mcc.nic.in.
- The tentative window for choice filling and locking that ran from October 28 to November 5 is now overridden by the indefinite extension.
- A Supreme Court bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Vipul Pancholi directed the NBE to clarify its stance on releasing answer keys through an affidavit.
- NBE’s counsel argued that publishing keys could undermine exam integrity and benefit coaching institutes, as aspirants and groups publicly criticized the prolonged uncertainty.
