NEET PG 2021 Mop-up Round Cut off
Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) has also written to Union Health Minister, urging him to consider the request to decrease the cut off for mop-up round NEET PG 2021 counselling. FORDA has contended that almost every year cutoff is revised to accommodate maximum candidates in All India Quota seats for admission to MD, MS and PG Diploma courses. The association said as the counselling has already delayed this year due to COVID-19, if mop-up cut off will not be revised, many of the candidates may not get admission which will lead to reduce workforce in healthcare.
