NEET PG 2023 Round 3 Allotment Result Delayed
The Medical Counselling Committee was expected to release the NEET PG counselling round 3 seat allotment result on September 16, 2023. However, there has been a delay in the announcement of the NEET PG allotment result. As per reports, there is a rising demand to reduce the NEET PG cutoff marks to fill up the vacant seats. The IMA has requested to reduce the NEET PG cutoff percentile to 30 to fill up the seats for both clinical and non-clinical branches. Therefore, it is expected that the round 3 result might have been delayed due to this reason.
