 Student Protests Over Delays in Telangana NEET PG 2024 Counselling
Earlier this year, the delay in the release of the merit list and commencement of the counselling process caused significant unrest among PG medical aspirants. Protests were organized by various medical associations, including the Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Telangana chapter.
The main concern raised by students was that the delayed counselling process might affect their academic timelines and career opportunities. Both organizations urged the Telangana state government and KNRUHS to expedite the process and ensure that students could proceed with their education without unnecessary delays.
In response to these concerns, the university has taken steps to streamline the process, and with the release of the merit list and initiation of the choice filling, things are now moving forward.
