Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda has said the Centre remains committed to conducting the NEET UG counselling process in a transparent, merit-driven and student-centric manner. He stressed that the government’s priority is to make medical admissions more efficient while ensuring equal opportunities for candidates across the country.
According to him, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has introduced a series of reforms aimed at reducing inconvenience for students and simplifying the admission process. The revised counselling framework is expected to minimise unnecessary travel, improve digital access and streamline key procedures such as seat acceptance, resignations and document verification.
He said the new measures are designed to provide greater clarity throughout the counselling process, enabling students to make informed decisions while reducing administrative hurdles. The government also aims to strengthen the use of technology to make admissions faster, more secure and more transparent.
