A section of aspirants for postgraduate (PG) medical seats from Kerala who wrote the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) are worried if they will lose out on their allotted seats if they participate in the all-India mop-up round to fill those that fell vacant after two rounds of counselling.
According to sources, results of the second round of allotment for admissions to PG seats for students from the State were declared recently. Many are planning to participate in the all-India round of mop-up counselling, introduced for the first time, scheduled for March 12.
However, according to the rules governing NEET PG, students cannot claim the seats they get in this final round until they surrender the seats already allotted to them. The last date for the surrender has not been announced yet.
