New Delhi: Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) has requested the Union Health Ministry to conduct Round 2 of NEET SS Mop-Up Counselling 2022 to fill out the 900 admission seats left vacant after special mop-up round counselling. 

Earlier, the counselling authority conducted the NEET SS 2022 mop-up round counselling for 1000 admission seats. The seats were allocated to students who meet the eligibility criteria specified by the authority and have a valid score in NEET SS 2022 exam. 

Requesting the authority, FORDA tweeted, "We can’t let these precious seats go to waste! Even after a mop-up round for #NEETSS2022, around 900 seats are lying vacant. As the Hon’ble court remarked-‘these seats are national assets. Requesting @DghsIndia @NMC_IND to conduct MOP UP-round 2”.

In a letter to the Union Health Minister by FORDA, the doctor's association has requested round 2 of NEET SS 2022 mop-up counselling so that vacant seats can be allotted to eligible candidates. In addition to FORDA, many students have filled out petitions to request the same. 

The letter reads, "In February 2023, Honourable Supreme Court had allowed some candidates (6) who were allotted seats in the first two rounds to surrender their seats and exit the counselling process”.

“In a notice released on February 14, 2023 (Ref. U-12021/01/2022-MEC) those seats were added to the mop-up round as well. Despite these efforts, around 500 (900 as per our data) seats are still vacant”, the letter further added. 

FORDA has requested the authority to not let the admission seats go to waste. Round 2 of the mop-up round should be considered in the interest of students and citizens who stand to benefit immensely from having more super-speciality doctors in the country.

“Furthermore, in our efforts to prevent seat wastage, it is our earnest request that the seats which were not joined by the candidates to whom they were allotted, be also made a part of this mop-up round, thereby adding to the seat pool”, the letter reads.
