• Firstly, NMC is yet to finalise seat matrix of new medical colleges and increase MD/ MS seats in existing colleges. 
• Secondly, NMC has informed that delay in NEET PG counselling 2025 is also happening because of continuous postponement of SC hearing and ongoing battle between NBE and students. 

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu state has started TN NEET PG counselling 2025 for state quota reserved seats. However, further schedule will be provided once MCC begins the AIQ quota counselling process.
