What's behind this

A 12‑member expert committee appointed by the Centre has recommended that the current percentile‑based qualifying system for NEET‑PG and NEET‑Super Speciality counselling be replaced with a rank‑based merit system, with the change slated to begin from 2027. The panel’s report was submitted to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 3, and the court has taken it on record. According to the panel, the rank‑based approach would narrow the gap between the second and third rounds of counselling.
