The body proposed that this common session would be based on the NEET-UG merit list, in the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023 or GMER-23.
“Without prejudice to anything stated in the present Regulations or other NMC Regulations, there shall be common counselling for admission to graduate courses in medicine for all Medical Institutions in India based on the merit list of the NEET-UG,” the NMC said in a June 2 gazette notification.
The Commission will provide the seat matrix for the session, and will have multiple rounds as may be necessary.
Guidelines for the counselling are set to be published by the Under-Graduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) and the designated authority under section 17 below shall conduct the counselling in conformity with the published guidelines.
The government will appoint a designated authority for the counselling and decide and notify its agency and method for all undergraduate seats. No medical institute shall admit any candidate to the Graduate Medical Education (GME) course in contravention of these regulations, the new regulations say.
