Third admission round likely to fill 600 PG medical seats

Ahmedabad: The admission committee for professional postgraduate medical educational courses is likely to announce a third round of admissions for medical and dental postgraduate courses, after the Union health ministry revised the minimum qualifying percentile in NEET PG 2023 to zero on Wednesday.
There are 600 postgraduate medical and dental seats vacant in the state after two rounds of admission.These include 250 seats in non-clinical branches such as physiology, biochemistry, forensic medicine, pharmacology, anatomy, micro-biology, and community medicine.
Sources said students usually don’t prefer non-clinical medical branches but with the new zero percentile decision, these seats will get filled. Sources said the central committee has already announced a third round of admissions and its schedule will be announced later. The state admission committee will announce the third round of admissions after the national admission committee’s round is over, sources said.
