What's behind this
The National Medical Commission (NMC) is proposing to replace the current percentile system with a rank‑based system for admissions to postgraduate and super‑speciality courses. An expert committee, backed by the NMC, has recommended that NEET‑PG admissions shift to rank‑based merit starting in 2027, aiming to replace the existing percentile‑based qualifying criteria. The committee also noted the need to reduce fees.
