The Supreme Court, while adjudicating a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, directed the Union of India to conduct a single counselling process for filling up seats in Post Graduate Medical Courses, including DNB courses. The Court emphasized the need for a unified approach to streamline admissions and ensure fairness in the process, as outlined in the NEET-PG 2020 guidelines. The ruling reinforces the importance of a centralized counselling mechanism to avoid discrepancies and enhance transparency in medical education admissions.
