NEET PG 2025 Seats Matrix Incomplete; FORDA Urges Expedited Counselling
The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association India (FORDA), in a letter submitted to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has requested immediate action in the expedited NEET PG Counselling process without further delay. The doctor’s federation has raised concerns regarding the delay in the NEET PG 2025 counselling.
In the letter, the FORDA urged for NEET PG counselling timely completion, as after nearly two months, the results were declared on August 19, 2025, and the seat matrix remains incomplete. It also raised issues of the absence of a concrete timeline for counselling commencement.
The doctors’ federation highlighted the issue of overburdening of doctors, as the hospitals across India are currently operating with only two resident batches, putting pressure on the healthcare workforce and compromising patient care delivery.

Reflecting an overdue delay in the counselling process, the federation said, “Thousands of qualified doctors await postgraduate training while the 2025-26 academic session faces jeopardy”.
FORDA said that the systemic delay undermines both medical education and healthcare delivery nationwide.
The organisation requested the National Medical Commission and the Medical Counselling Committee on
- To release the finalised seat matrix on mcc.nic. in immediately.
- Commence Round 1 counselling registration with the published timeline.
- Provide transparent updates on Supreme Court proceedings impacting the counselling schedule
- Ensure the academic session begins without further delay
The doctors’ federation said that further inaction risks widespread demoralisation among medical professionals and continued compromise of patient care standards across the nation.
