The United Doctors’ Front Association (UDFA) has written a letter to the National Medical Commission (NMC) demanding a reduction in the NEET PG 2023 qualifying cut-off, more than in previous years so that more candidates will get the chance to participate in the counselling process.

Explaining the reason for seeking a reduction in the cut-off percentile, the letter reads, "Thousands of MBBS pass-outs who appeared in NEET PG 2023, aspire to join Postgraduate courses. As per the current eligibility criteria for appearing in Counselling, due to non-reducing the eligibility cut-off marks to Participate in counselling, currently a big no.of PG Seats are vacant."

"If NBE will not revise the lowering in qualifying cut-off percentile to participate in ongoing counselling the vacancy will be same which will be UNJUSTICE for the potential candidates for getting admission in Postgraduate courses," added the letter.

The doctors' body said it is high time that the Government of India should make a fair play of justice by lowering the qualifying cut-off percentile up to a significant level for aspirants to appear in the ongoing counselling.

"On behalf of all those MBBS doctors and various representations, we request you to kindly please release reduced qualifying cut-off percentile with immediate effect so that they can get a fair chance to appear in ongoing NEET PG 2023 Mop-up and stray rounds counselling," added the letter.

As per the schedule issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the Round III/Mop-Up round registrations start today, September 8, 2023, and will end on September 12, 2023.
