The Committee’s announcement was with respect to the NEET’s Medical/Dental seats PG Counselling.

The first round of registration for the NEET counselling ended on 26 March. The deadline had been extended owing to technical issues with the software, reported The Indian Express. According to the report, students were facing problems while choosing their colleges and courses.
