Neet PG counselling 2022 dates postponed: National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, NEET PG counselling 2022 dates have been postponed by the Union Health Ministry for admission to postgraduate medical courses. The decision was taken by the Ministry to allow the National Medical Commission to complete the process of adding new seats.

NEET PG counselling 2022 was scheduled to begin from September 1.

"The Candidates of NEET-PG, 2022 are informed that the NEET-PG Counselling, 2022 was scheduled to commence from 01/09/2022. However, National Medical Commission (NMC) is in the process of issuing New LoPs for the current academic year and the same will be concluded till 15/09/2022," an official notification said.

"Hence, in order to include more seats in the counselling for the benefit of the candidates, it has been decided by the Competent Authority to re-schedule the NEET-PG Counselling, 2022 which was scheduled to commence from 01/09/2022," it added.

Though the ministry has not announced the revised counselling schedule yet, official sources told PTI that the counselling is likely to begin in the third week of September.
Usually, NEET-PG is held in January and the counselling starts in March. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the delay in last year's admission process, this year's exam was held on May 21 and results were declared on June 1, PTI said citing a senior official.

This year's PG counselling is likely to be held for around 52,000 seats.
