The India===National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has informed the India===Supreme Court of India that 95,913 additional candidates have become eligible for NEET-PG 2025 counselling following a reduction in the qualifying percentile. This brings the total number of qualified candidates from 1,28,116 to 2,24,029. NBEMS filed an affidavit in response to a petition challenging this decision, clarifying that its role is limited to conducting the examination and providing results to the India===Medical Counselling Committee, while the decision to lower the cut-off falls under the domain of the Directorate General of Health Services (part of the India===Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) and the India===National Medical Commission. The India===Supreme Court of India, with a bench led by Justice P. S. Narasimha, is expected to hear the matter next week, which could affect the eligibility of these newly qualified candidates.
