The Centre has told the Supreme Court that it will lower the qualifying percentile for NEET-Super Speciality (NEET-SS) seats from 50 to 30, a move aimed at filling 1,857 seats that remain vacant after the second round of counselling, many of them in highly specialised medical and surgical disciplines.
In a note filed before the apex court, the government said the decision was taken in consultation with stakeholders to ensure available training capacity is not wasted.
