The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has banned 148 students from participating in the UP NEET PG Counselling 2025. The action comes after these aspirants either failed to join or resigned from the MD/MS seats allotted to them during the stray vacancy and special stray vacancy rounds of the previous academic session.
According to DGME officials, the decision was taken to prevent wastage of precious medical PG seats and to streamline the admission process. Last year, several candidates blocked seats but did not complete the admission formalities, while some left after joining, causing major disruptions for deserving students.

- Counselling schedule for 2025 to be released soon on upneet.gov.in.
Why DGME Took This Action

- Forfeit their security deposit, and
