Controversy and Data Breach
The NEET PG 2025 process was not without hurdles. The NBEMS disqualified 22 candidates for using unfair means, while 13 were barred permanently. Earlier, a data leak of 1.38 lakh NEET PG candidates sparked outrage within the medical community.
Despite these challenges, the commencement of counselling brings relief to thousands of medical aspirants awaiting postgraduate admissions.
