MCC to resume NEET SS 2025 counselling immediately and implement the Hon'ble Court's directions without any further delay. Thousands of specialist doctors have already waited for months, and every additional delay impacts both their careers and patient care.
FAIMA had earlier submitted a formal representation to the Registrar (Judicial) of the Supreme Court seeking a consideration of the scheduled hearing. In the representation, the association highlighted the NEET SS 2025 counselling process has been stalled for nearly five months, due to which thousands of qualified candidates were unable to commence their Super Speciality training.
FAIMA respectfully requests an early hearing of Diary No. 37658/2026, listed on 28 July 2026.

FAIMA has urged the court to take up the matter on the scheduled date as prolonged delay can cause professional, financial and psychological issues to aspiring specialist doctors. The association has also appealed for an early hearing.
With the inclusion of the seats and the Supreme Court order to commence the counselling process, the NEET SS 2025 counselling schedule will likely be released on the official website soon. Candidates are advised to keep visiting the official website for the latest updates on the counselling process.
